Workers are paying more for health insurance than ever before, but can't even get appointments. Deductibles are often hard to reach, and Donald Trump is letting premiums double for millions.
We need to lower health care costs so that every Californian has the coverage and care they need.

Housing costs a lot in California—and that’s made our homelessness crisis one of the worst in the nation.
As we work to bring down costs, investing in interim housing like Cherry Hill—and the ongoing services residents need—is critical to solving unsheltered homelessness.

Donald Trump’s attacks on free speech are attacks on our democracy—and it’s shameful that KCBS apparently bent the knee and censured journalists to appease Trump.
I will never back down when it comes to calling out Donald Trump’s harmful agenda that is hurting Californians and our families.

What a disgusting and abhorrent response to the awful killing of Rob and Michele last night.
Thinking of their loved ones during this horrific time.

For too long, our country has expected care to happen for free or for pennies on the dollar. That is morally wrong and economically stupid.
Investing in care is a strategic move to grow our population and economy. It’s time we change how we value our care providers.

Let's talk taxes. California’s budget instability is like a rollercoaster, and it's driven by worsening wealth inequality.
We can afford to make the investments we need in our state—we just have to bring down costs, make smart budget decisions, and grow our economy.

A huge thank you to Mayor Matt Mahan for a tour of the Cherry Avenue interim housing community.
San Jose is proof: unsheltered homelessness IS solvable. We can replicate this success statewide.

If we had more moms in charge, you can bet life would already be more affordable in California—from child care to health care to housing.
I’m running for Governor to shake up the status quo in Sacramento that has left too many families and women behind.

California doesn’t need talking points on affordability from a billionaire. We need leaders who actually understand the cost crisis our families are facing.
Fighting inequality makes our economy stronger. When I’m Governor, my focus will be on bringing down costs and growing our state.

When I led California’s response to the foreclosure crisis, homes weren’t saved just because a settlement agreement existed. It was the tireless work from my team on the ground.

My message to California county leaders yesterday: I will be your partner to build more housing and grow our economy—and I’ll be your warrior against Donald Trump’s gutting of Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and emergency disaster aid.

We always find money for "hard infrastructure"—bridges and roads—and those matter. But so does CARE.
It's time to stop letting child care and elder care be the first thing cut. Investing in care is investing in a growing CA economy.

When I first ran for Congress and made housing part of my campaign, people told me: "Housing isn’t the government's problem."
Bullshit. High costs and homelessness aren't inevitable. They are a direct result of our policy choices.
Let's build more, and build fast.

Cynthia not only lovingly cares for her daughter and sister, she fights for a better future for caregivers and their loved ones.
Home care workers are not a budget number — they’re real people. Their work deserves our respect and support.

Our students are California’s future—our nurses, engineers, scientists, teachers, and more. UC-Merced students recently shared their thoughts with me on our state’s direction and how Donald Trump’s decisions are hurting their classmates and campus.

California is a hub for entrepreneurs and innovation, especially for the small businesses who employ more than 7 million Californians. Their success and the success of our economy, workers, families, and state go hand-in-hand.

We know Donald Trump has already issued illegal orders to the military — including right here in California when he unlawfully sent troops into Los Angeles.
Senator @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a patriot, and I stand with him to defend our Constitution in the face of these authoritarian attacks.

Farmworkers are some of the hardest working people in California—but Donald Trump has declared war on their livelihoods.
Today UFW farmworkers and I talked about how we will fight back and make sure every worker is safe on their job and gets paid a fair wage.
