Homeownership Matters Gubernatorial Forum 2026

With no clear frontrunner, the Governor’s race is very competitive this year and C.A.R. is bringing the leading candidates together for a timely conversation focused on the future of housing and pathways to homeownership in California. Join us on Thursday, March 5, from 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m. to watch a livestream of the Homeownership Matters Gubernatorial Forum 2026 at car.org/meetings/livestream. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the candidates about policies that will shape our state’s housing market for years to come.

The forum will feature a moderated discussion led by C.A.R. President Tamara Suminski and C.A.R. CEO Phil Hawkins. You will hear the candidates outline their housing priorities, policy solutions, and vision for expanding homeownership opportunities for all Californians. This event is a component of our Homeownership Matters campaign to ensure policymakers and the public understand why homeownership must remain achievable in California.
