California is home to the most immigrants out of any state in the nation.
We also have the strongest economy out of any state in the nation.

Republicans want to overturn half a century of precedent to undermine California’s ability to protect the health of our residents.
Why?
Because to them, it’s more important to appease big oil than it is for your kid to breathe clean air.

I won’t sit back and watch as extremist Republicans in the White House and in Congress try to undermine our democracy.

As the 4th largest economy in the world, California has proven that you can transition towards a clean energy future AND promote economic growth.
Instead of attacking our clean air standards, Republicans should focus on what’s actually driving up costs and stifling the economy — Trump’s tariffs!
