Multiple pro-housing candidates
AD44

Assembly District 44

Nine candidates supporting housing and climate policy from Thousand Oaks to Oxnard.

AD44 runs from Thousand Oaks to Oxnard. I live here, I’m running here, and I’ve done more research on candidates here than any other district. I’ve spoken with some other pro-housing candidates such as Josh Donner, David Pollock, and Michaela Perez, and I generally prefer their slate to the competing one, which is more DSA-aligned. However, I’m limiting my votes to candidates who submitted favorable YIMBY or CCL questionnaire responses. This includes candidates from both slates and independents like myself.

  • Max Ghenis is me. My website, maxforadem.com has my platform and background.
  • Rebekah Sneha Daniel strongly supports the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, CCL’s federal carbon fee-and-dividend legislation.
  • Martha Martinez-Bravo strongly supports Citizens’ Climate Lobby and is generally supportive of new housing, while also being open about wanting to learn more about the issue.
  • Anthony Mireles is a union leader who supports housing.
  • Mercy Urrea is also a union leader who supports housing.
  • Orion Tripodis strongly supports carbon fee-and-dividend.
  • Alessandro Neri supports housing development and carbon fee-and-dividend.
  • Henry Montalvo chairs the Ventura County Democratic Party and generally supports policies that will increase the supply of housing.
  • Danny Chulack didn’t complete either questionnaire, but he completed the YIMBY questionnaire when he ran for Thousand Oaks City Council in November. He earned our endorsement with his strong responses, and I’m confident he’d support housing at the convention and on the Central Committee.

These recommendations are my own, and do not reflect positions of organizations I’m associated with.
