Silicon Valley backs pragmatic California Legislature PAC with $10M
TL;DR
A new California-focused super PAC, California Leads, launched with about $10 million from Google and Meta to back pragmatic candidates for the California Legislature; it will use research, polling and candidate interviews to target races, led by Nathan Click with Scott Kozar, Dave Metz and Austin Heyworth. Google and Meta each seeded roughly $5 million, and donors say they won’t dictate which races are pursued.
