Running for Assemblymember District 50, California Assembly District 50, in California
Why we endorsed Robert
YIMBY Action supports Assemblymember Robert Garcia because the Inland Empire needs leaders in Sacramento who understand that the housing shortage is driving families out of reach of homeownership and stable rent.

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.
