San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan is running for governor — and he's bringing his pitch directly to ethnic and community media across California. In this summary of his sit-down interview, we break down where Mahan stands on the issues hitting California communities hardest: immigration reform and ICE accountability, the housing and affordability crisis he says drove him into the race, Medicaid cuts and expanding healthcare access, and the role of AI and tech in California's future.

Drishyam 3 asks one terrifying question: what happens when that plan runs out? The film releases May 21st — on Mohanlal's birthday. If you have seen Drishyam 1 and 2, clear your schedule.
