Why The Civic Brief Exists

One conversation. One problem worth fixing.

The 2026 California governor's race has a lot of candidates. Most voters — even engaged ones — struggled to keep track. This site is built to change that.

I was inspired to start this project after having a conversation with my dad over the difficulty he had in keeping track of the positions held by the candidates running in the 2026 California governor's race. Even though he paid attention to the news, he still felt lost. It wasn't just him, either.

I created this site to try and prevent this from happening, one candidate at a time.

Every summary on this site is researched and written by me. I'm not affiliated with any party, campaign, or political organization. I work hard to present each candidate fairly and let you draw your own conclusions. If you think I got something wrong or missed something important, I want to hear it.
