<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites. Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Numero</a></li></ul>

A product of our outstanding public schools, he knows the value of a good public education, and attended Cal Poly’s school of architecture. Out of college, he worked at a multinational architecture firm before starting his own firm. In 2018, he was elected to the Corte Madera Town Council, becoming the youngest elected official in Marin while earning the most votes in Corte Madera history, and in 2020, he became Corte Madera’s youngest, first Jewish, and first openly LGBT mayor. When he’s not working, Eli’s favorite activities are the ones that celebrate our home’s natural beauty and history: exploring the tidepools of the Pacific coast, hiking the Mt. Tamalpais watershed, or exploring the historic adobes of Sonoma.California's 12th Assembly District includes all of Marin County including the cities of San Rafael, Novato, Mill Valley, Larkspur, San Anselmo, Corte Madera, Tiburon, Fairfax, Sausalito, Ross and Belvedere. Sonoma County cities of Cotati, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, and Santa Rosa.

Join us in supporting Eli as the experienced local voice our communities need and deserve in Sacramento.

As a two-term Mayor, Eli Beckman is an energized, engaged, and experienced leader who has established Corte Madera as a leader on climate resilience, responsible housing policy, and good governance.Eli is the founder &amp; CEO of HAUS+, a full-service provider of sustainable prefab backyard homes in the Bay Area. As a small business owner who is also helping address our housing shortage, Eli understands the challenges small businesses face, from high costs to constantly changing regulations.Eli represents a generational change in Sacramento, bringing fresh energy, new ideas, and a refreshing clarity of vision to a political culture that sometimes feels like it’s teetering on the brink of bureaucratic absurdity. From lowering permit fees to repealing outdated or redundant laws, Eli believes in a streamlined government that actually works for you when you need it.Eli’s experience in local government—where the rubber truly meets the road, and where the effect of government decisions on our lives is immediate and personal—is exactly what we need.&nbsp;California is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime. Flooding and fire threaten our homes and infrastructure. The cost of living climbs ever higher for families trying to make ends meet. A historic budget surplus has become a yawning deficit. To turn this situation around, we must fix the broken systems that got us here and make bold moves that will put our state on a path to finally address our climate, housing, and cost of living challenges.That’s exactly what Eli’s done in Corte Madera, positioning the town as a leader on climate resilience, responsible housing policy, and good governance—even while guiding his community through the depths of the pandemic. Under his leadership, Corte Madera became the first city in Marin to adopt a long-range blueprint for protecting homes and businesses from flooding and wildfire. He helped champion a sensible pro-housing plan that provides for new affordable housing while preserving the community’s small-town charm, and which went on to win statewide awards. And he helped turn around the town’s finances, creating a rainy day fund while reining in the government’s pension debt.On a regional scale, he’s helped bring the price of green energy below PG&amp;E’s price for dirty energy as a board member of MCE Clean Energy. He helped lead the push for central Marin’s wastewater treatment plant to become a national leader in generating renewable energy to power its own operations, saving taxpayers more than a million dollars a year in energy costs, all while recycling water to reduce waste. And he's stood up for Marin &amp; Sonoma communities as the North Bay Division president of CalCities, making our voices heard in Sacramento.Over his 7+ years in public service, Eli has earned a reputation beyond Corte Madera for leadership that’s thoughtful, honest, straightforward, and collaborative. But more than that, he brings a compassionate and positive approach to his service that can feel increasingly&nbsp; absent from today's politics—as he calls it, public service with a smile.
