We co-hosted the Oakland Special Election Candidate Forum in Downtown Oakland last week. This event brought together six candidates vying for both the Mayor’s office and District 2 Council office ahead of the special election that will be held on April 15th.

This year, we have an incredible opportunity to advocate for more housing in California by voting in a critical (but often low-turnout) upcoming election called ADEM (Assembly District Election Meetings). These elections determine the delegates who will shape the Democratic Party’s platform, endorse candidates, and decide which ballot measures to support.

Prepare to cast your votes in November and check out our list of endorsements for the state of California and county elections.

While it’s still too early to know how all of HAC’s endorsed candidates and ballot measures did, the results so far are looking positive for the pro-housing community. Check the status of some of the major statewide and local races as of March 6, 2024.

To create pro-housing change we need bold pro-housing leaders who are committed to solving our state’s severe housing shortage, affordability, and displacement crisis.

To that end, here are the pro-housing candidates in critical local and state races HAC is proud to endorse for the March 5 election.
