California is about to become the fifth largest economy in the world but ordinary Californians are struggling. We need to stop passing on costly regulations and taxes that are hurting Californias. Sacramento can stop passing harmful laws right now, it is within our power. We must start with a policy of “first do no harm”. Housing costs are at the heart of our state’s affordability crisis. One-third of the state’s renters spend more than 50% of their income on rent.
