California Can't Wait!
Ethan Penner is running for Governor of California to disrupt the failing two-party system and lead the state into a new era of lasting abundance, affordability, safety and freedom.
Who is He
Business Leader
In the early 1990s, with the real estate market in crisis, Ethan charted a path forward and built the largest real estate financier in U.S. history from the ground up. He restored stability to a collapsed industry and built a system that democratized access to capital for every American – not just the wealthy.
Family Man
Ethan and his wife Marisol – a proud immigrant from Venezuela – live in Calabasas and are raising five children, including two adopted sons from Ethiopia and Venezuela. Their family reflects the same diversity, grit, and spirit of possibility that defines California itself.
Educator
Ethan is deeply committed to the wellbeing of future generations of Californians. He is the author of two books, as well as an influential weekly newsletter, focused on how to cultivate a resilient, purpose-driven life. He also teaches graduate-level courses at USC’s Marshall School of Business and Pepperdine University.
