Alex Lee
Running for Assemblymember District 24, CA Assembly District 24, in California
Why we endorsed Alex
YIMBY Action endorses Assemblymember Alex Lee because he has been one of the most reliable pro-housing votes in Sacramento. Since he was elected in 2020, he has supported every major pro-housing bill. He has also led on new ideas: he championed social housing as a way to build permanently affordable, mixed-income homes, and this year he authored AB 2252, the single-stair reform bill.

How our endorsements work
Every YIMBY Action endorsement starts with local research and is ratified by a member vote.
01
Chapters do the research
Local members study the races, send questionnaires, and interview candidates about housing.
02
Members vote
Every endorsement, candidate or ballot measure, is ratified by a vote of YIMBY Action members, not staff.
