A Brighter Future for California: David Collenberg for Governor 2026

My name is David Collenberg. I’m a 44-year-old native son of California, a proud father of six, and a fifth-generation farmer. California has always been my home, my livelihood, and my passion. I’ve worked the land, felt the struggles of droughts, weathered economic uncertainties, and celebrated the bounty of this great state. Now, I’m ready to work for you.

California deserves a leader who understands the challenges of everyday families. As a father, I’ve faced the same questions every parent does: How can we make sure our children inherit a better future? As a farmer, I’ve experienced firsthand the struggles of sustaining businesses through ever-changing regulations and economic pressures. I know what it takes to work hard, innovate, and persevere.

My vision for California is rooted in three core values:

Supporting Our Communities

Strong families and local communities are the backbone of California. I’ll advocate for policies that strengthen education, ensure affordable housing, and improve public safety.

Protecting Our Natural Resources

As someone who depends on California’s land and water, I understand how vital they are to our economy and future. I’ll champion sustainable solutions that protect our environment while supporting industries that feed and power our state.

Restoring Opportunity for All

California should be a place where anyone willing to work hard can succeed. I’ll fight to cut through red tape, support small businesses, and invest in the infrastructure we need to thrive.

It’s time for leadership that represents all of us, from the bustling cities to the fertile fields. Together, we can make California a beacon of opportunity, innovation, and hope.

I’m David Collenberg, and I’m running for Governor to bring California back to its roots while planting the seeds for a better future. Let’s build it together.
