Michael Tubbs, the former mayor of Stockton, California, has officially launched his campaign for lieutenant governor in 2026. Tubbs, who was the youngest and first African-American mayor of Stockton, aims to address poverty and inequality, drawing on his personal experiences and his recent role as a special advisor to Gov. Gavin Newsom. Known for his progressive policies, including a universal basic income pilot program, Tubbs seeks to bring urgent solutions to statewide issues such as economic mobility and affordable housing. His campaign is expected to face a competitive field, but his name recognition and multiethnic following could be advantageous. The lieutenant governor position, while limited in power, is often seen as a stepping stone to higher office in California politics.
