The board warned it would be a disaster if Republicans Steve Hilton and Sheriff Chad Bianco advanced.<\/li>\n<li>Porter, 52, has pledged to eliminate the state income tax for Californians making under $100,000 and refuses donations from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists and executives in banking, pharmaceutical or oil and gas industries.<\/li>\n<li>Porter\u2019s housing plan would stop local delays, innovate construction techniques and invest state land and infrastructure toward the roughly 2.5 million new homes California needs over the next eight years.<\/li>\n<li>The board did not endorse billionaire Tom Steyer, who has spent more than $200 million of his own money, and expressed disappointment that former Attorney General Xavier Becerra accepted money from Chevron.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p><i>The summary points above were compiled with the help of AI tools and edited by journalists.
