Real Estate’s Influence in CA Primary

California’s primary election is heating up, with the real estate industry backing key candidates across multiple races—from governor to LA mayor, city controller, and even Nancy Pelosi’s old seat. Xavier Becerra leads in polls for governor, while Steve Hilton and Tom Steyer also draw significant support, though San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan is fading fast. In LA, Karen Bass edges out Nithya Raman and reality star Spencer Pratt, all of whom have real estate donors behind them. Zach Sokoloff, a real estate exec, is challenging the incumbent city controller, and Scott Wiener, a pro-housing senator, is the favorite to replace Pelosi in San Francisco. The results will determine who advances to November’s runoff—and who the real estate crowd really trusts. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
