Today, the California Business & Industrial Alliance (CABIA) is running a full-page ad in the California Post slamming the California Chamber of Commerce’s misguided endorsement of Xavier Becerra for Governor.
The ad highlights that the Cal Chamber endorsed Becerra for Governor alongside Big Labor, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and United Food & Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW). It’s a slap in the face to California business owners who have been targeted by harmful union-backed policies like the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) and a $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers.

The ad points out that even former president Joe Biden didn’t endorse “Embarrassment” Becerra after his incompetent tenure in the Biden administration.
The ad remarks that it’s no wonder the press says the Cal Chamber needs to “grow a spine.”
“The Cal Chamber’s endorsement of Xavier Becerra is a betrayal of the very businesses it claims to represent,” said Tom Manzo, founder of CABIA. “Our state’s job creators need an advocate with a backbone, not one that will bend to the will of Big Labor and its self-serving agenda. That’s why CABIA is proud to be fighting for businesses and against the union-backed policies that make operating in California almost impossible.”
