Meet Oliver

A civil rights lawyer who fights for working families

Oliver Ma

Lawyer. Organizer. Fighter.

Oliver Ma grew up in Southern California in an immigrant family. He graduated from UC Berkeley and Harvard Law School, then dedicated his career to fighting for those who need it most.

As a civil rights attorney, Oliver has represented tenants against slumlords, defended immigrant families against ICE raids, developed Asian youth as leaders, and worked on housing justice in Bakersfield and communities across California.

Now he's running for Lt. Governor — because we deserve a California that works for people, not corporate interests. California leads change.

The Lt. Governor has real power to advance progressive change

⚖

State Senate President

The Platform

Building a California that works for everyone

🏠

Affordable Housing & Rent Stability

Median California rent exceeds $2,800/month. Oliver will prevent corporate slumlords from buying entire neighborhoods, expand rent control statewide, and protect tenants from unjust evictions.

👪

Immigrant Family Protection

California has more immigrants than any state. Oliver will hold ICE accountable for illegal raids, shut down for-profit detention centers, and support community rapid response networks.

🎓

Divestment & Justice Investment

UC schools hold $32+ billion in assets tied to apartheid. Oliver will divest from oppression and redirect dollars to schools, clinics, and housing support that reflect California values.

♥

Universal Healthcare

Implement single-payer healthcare in California. Guarantee free, high-quality care including mental health and dental. Eliminate insurance middleman profits.

🌡

Climate Jobs & Wildfire Resilience

Wildfires cost $11+ billion last year. Every $1 invested in prevention saves $6. Oliver will end new fossil fuel wells, expand clean energy jobs, and invest in wildfire prevention and water security.

👶

Universal Childcare

California childcare costs $20,000+ annually. Oliver will provide free, high-quality childcare and preschool for all families and ensure childcare workers earn fair wages.

We deserve a California that works for people, not corporate interests. As a civil rights lawyer, I've fought slumlords, ICE, and apartheid — and I'm ready to set a new standard for what leaders should fight for.
— Oliver Ma
