29 May 2026 · Mayor Matt Mahan · $20–25K · 500K+ impressions · Promotional · Ad Library
Washington and Sacramento keep failing at the basics: housing, healthcare, public safety. I’m offering results, for a change.

It's all about making life better for Californians.
8 May 2026 · Mayor Matt Mahan · $10–15K · 1M+ impressions · Promotional · Ad Library
Letting people suffer and die on our streets isn't compassionate, and it certainly isn't "progressive." In San Jose, because we changed our approach, we changed our results. We’re going to take it statewide next year. Vote by June 2nd.

If you've been staring at your ballot for weeks, this one's for you. I'm running for Governor because I don't think Californians should have to settle for more of the same. See my plan to get CA back on track: www.mahanforcalifornia.com/plan
29 May 2026 · Mayor Matt Mahan · $8–9K · 250K+ impressions · Promotional · Ad Library
I'm a Democrat. And I think our party should be judged by whether people can afford a home, feel safe in their neighborhood, and get ahead. That's why I'm running for Governor.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
