Yesterday, I joined @CAGovernor and Jennifer Barrera, President & CEO of @CalChamber, in welcoming members of the California Consular Corps and CalChamber Executive Board to the Governor’s annual reception. It has been an honor over the past seven years to work with the Consular Corps in California to strengthen our international partnerships and deepen our global relationships.

Thank you @AsmBuffyWicks
“I support the Chamber’s ballot measure. We have to build for the modern era, and I think we can do so in a way that still respects our environmental values,” Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (@AsmBuffyWicks) (D-14) said in her keynote remarks. Wicks is considered one of the Legislature’s leading champions of policies designed to solve California’s housing supply and affordability crisis, having served as the Chair of the Assembly Housing Committee @AffordableCAAct #Housing #CaliforniaAffordability advocacy.calchamber.com/2026…

.@SenAlexPadilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Today @CalChamber announced our Affordability Agenda, a bold approach to highlight legislation that helps businesses and consumers by cutting costs, as well as those policies that drive costs up, especially unwarranted as Californians worry about day-to-day living expenses.

Now more than ever, we should be embracing opportunities to help relieve financial burdens for Californians, not saddle them with more red tape and bureaucracy. We look forward to working with the Legislature on these bills in the coming weeks and months.

The #AffordabiltyAgenda not only calls out policies that will hurt Californians in their pocketbooks, but celebrates the efforts to reduce costs and alleviate affordability concerns.
