LAFAYETTE, Calif. - TelAve -- Author and California gubernatorial candidate Jon Henderson will appear at Reasonable Books in Lafayette on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. PT for a community conversation based on his book, California 2.0: An Independent Vision for California's Abundant Future.

The event will include a brief reading, a conversation with Henderson, audience Q&A, and a book signing.

Henderson's campaign is centered on a practical vision for California's future, with a focus on affordability, housing, accountability, innovation, and restoring trust in government. As an independent candidate, Henderson is working to reach Californians who feel politically overlooked and are looking for leadership focused on results rather than party politics.

"This event is about more than a book," said Henderson. "It is about having a real conversation with Californians about what is working, what is broken, and what kind of future we want to build together."

The Lafayette appearance also offers a local look at Henderson's broader campaign. Rather than coming from a traditional political background, Henderson is presenting himself as a Bay Area business leader, author, and concerned Californian stepping into the statewide conversation with a new vision for the state.

California 2.0 outlines Henderson's ideas for addressing some of California's most pressing challenges, including housing, homelessness, wildfire risk, public trust, government accountability, and economic opportunity. The book serves as both a policy platform and a call for Californians to move beyond political division and focus on practical solutions.

The event is open to community members interested in California's future, public policy, local authors, and civic conversation.
