For State Controller
CALIFORNIA FOR THE PEOPLE, NOT THE BILLIONAIRES!
Californians live in the 4th largest economy in the world, with an annual state budget averaging over $323 billion each year. The California State Controller sees what comes in and out of California’s bank account for every expense and sits on over 70 boards and commissions across the state, including the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) and California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS).
We need a State Controller who advocates for the people’s needs and brings the voice of workers into the halls of power.
We need a Controller who does more than simply writing checks and tracking expenses. While the State Controller does not set the legislative agenda, they have a front row seat to observe the inner workings of California’s spending. Meghann Adams is running for State Controller as someone who will be accountable to the people by sharing detailed analysis of the functions of the state. As Controller, Meghann will act in the interests of working class people, instead of the billionaires.
A seasoned union leader, anti-war activist, and community organizer, Meghann has nearly a decade of experience in the fiscal management of her union, SMART 1741. Running on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket, Meghann’s campaign is focused on raising awareness about the spending of taxpayer dollars in California, state investments, and the financial operations of state offices and commissions. The people need a working class fighter like Meghann to bring working class issues to the center of state politics and to expose the operations of our government for all to see and understand.

The Peace and Freedom Party fights for socialism, democracy, ecology, feminism, and racial equality. Peace and Freedom stands with the working class in a capitalist system that exploits them. Our vision is a world of cooperation—not competition—where everyone has food, shelter, and dignity; where equality is real, freedom is universal, and peace is rooted in justice.
Founded in 1967 during the anti-Vietnam War mass movement and the Black Liberation Movement, Peace and Freedom emerged as an electoral voice for the social movement of its time. Born from labor struggles, anti-war activism, and the fight for racial and gender justice, Peace and Freedom became California’s third party ballot alternative to the corrupt two-party system. Today, Peace and Freedom continues to build a mass socialist movement, uniting fighters from all sectors of society to transform our system to serve the people, not the billionaires.
