Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), labor and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta; UNITE HERE Co-President Ada Briceño; and Democratic National Committee Member Christine Pelosi.
More than 100 California elected officials, including Congressmember Maxine Waters, Congressmember Barbara Lee, Congressmember Ro Khanna, Congressmember Jimmy Gomez, State Senator Ben Allen, State Senator Maria Elena Durazo, and Assemblymembers Chris Holden (D-41st District) and Matt Haney (D-17th District), also have endorsed Proposition 33.
Proposition 33 is just 23 words: “The state may not limit the right of any city, county, or city and county to maintain, enact or expand residential rent control.” It would remove California’s statewide rent control ban and give local communities the right to stabilize rents and make apartments more affordable.
