Sean Frame is the only corporate-free candidate in this race, accepting zero donations from corporate PACs or individual corporations. While his opponents are funded by big business, developers, pharmaceutical companies, and charter schools, Sean can’t be bought. He’s funded exclusively by working people, and won’t sell us out to corporate profiteers.

We are experiencing a housing crisis because our government has chosen landlord’s profits over keeping people housed. Invitation Homes, a private equity firm, is the largest owner of single-family homes in California, and was recently forced to pay $3.7 million in civil penalties due to rent gouging. Sean will fight to build more affordable housing, ban Wall Street private equity from owning single-family homes, bring back rent control, fund mental health services, and declare a state of emergency in housing.

Sean understands firsthand that climate change is no longer an abstract problem – he was forced to relocate his family from their home due to the increasing fire risk and soaring cost of fire insurance. Sean will fight for solutions that prioritize people over corporate profits, bring carbon emissions to net zero, and rapidly accelerate the greening of our economy with sustainable, good-paying jobs.

A recent study found that one third of Sacramento’s families can’t afford the basics. Rent, healthcare, and food costs are out of control, but politicians don’t get it. How is anybody supposed to survive and raise a family on $2,000 a month? Sean will fight for living wages and to bring down skyrocketing costs so that we can all afford not just to live, but truly thrive.

When Sean was elected to the school board, he put his values to work by delivering broadband for all, support for students facing housing insecurity, and a dual language immersion program. Sean understands education policy, and he knows that our schools aren’t failing – our leaders are failing them through lack of investment. Sean will fight for real investment in our public schools.

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy. California is the 5th largest economy in the world, but we’ve given for-profit insurance companies and for-profit hospitals all of the power to decide who lives or dies. Sean knows this all too well as he could have died of melanoma because his doctor initially refused to provide a simple referral to a dermatologist. Meanwhile 50,000 people in California are going bankrupt every year due to medical debt. Sean supports creating a California-based, Single Payer/Medicare for ALL plan for ALL Californians. It’s time to focus on providing actual healthcare, not funding for insurance companies.
