Many Californians are frustrated that policies like AB 130 continue to raise the cost of living — from driving up housing expenses to adding a new vehicle‑mileage tax that hits working families hardest. I believe that the pattern of increasing financial burdens has gone on for too long, and that it’s time for leadership focused on affordability, accountability, and real economic relief. I believe the upcoming gubernatorial election offers a clear opportunity to change direction, and I am urging voters to stand with me as the candidate who will fight for working families and push back against policies we see as harmful to California’s future.
