The "No on C" campaign has outspent "Yes on C" by 7 to 1. You can see this in their blitz of glossy flyers being sent out to Santa Rosans and their large signs and radio ads - a lot of money has come from out of town corporate lobbying groups such as the National Association of Realtors and the California Apartment Association. But Yes on C has heart and is on the side of everyday Santa Rosans; it is an integral part of Santa Rosa City Council's larger plan to address the housing crisis. We will be in the streets, going door to door, and convincing people by telling them the simple truth about Measure C.

"Collander ... a singer making experimental pop that centers her struggles with chronic illness and disability. The artist describes herself as a “a sick, q***r bed-mongering babyghoul” and her 2016 sophomore album, grim bitch/sick s**t, is as vulnerable as it is tongue-in-cheek. Over stripped-down beats that evoke disco and synth pop, Collander candidly sings about the intricacies of navigating relationships, emotional labor, trauma, and, sometimes, simply feeling like s**t."
