Economy, Jobs, & Consumer Protection
Gavin Newsom is taking action to tackle global inflation and rising costs. We know we are not the cheapest state in the union, but we have amenities and opportunities that simply don’t exist in other places. We are fighting to ensure all Californians can afford a place to live and have opportunities to get ahead.
