Healthcare was already becoming unaffordable. Then Sacramento made it worse.
Market premiums rose an average of 10.3% in 2026, and lawmakers approved a redesigned health plan tax that industry groups warn could add another $425 per year for a typical family of four.
Higher utility bills. Higher cost of living. No relief in sight.
AB 286 would have required the CPUC to identify reforms to lower residential electricity rates by 30%.
The Democrat supermajority killed it.
Reliable electricity should not come with unaffordable bills.
Assembly Republicans will continue to fight for greater transparency, stronger oversight, and policies that lower energy costs instead of passing higher costs on to California families.
It's time to put affordability first.
Newsom’s office is lying: he is failing to fund and complete basic fire prevention.
CA’s fire prevention budget fell from $988m in 2021 to $456m in 2026. At @CityJournal, we found <1% of his “expedited” fire management projects were finished.
And so California will burn.
The reckless spending by Sacramento's supermajority is skyrocketing utility bills and stretching family budgets even further.
California electricity rates have increased by roughly 50% since 2019, leaving families with less money for the essentials.
Sacramento Democrats continue approving policies that shift more costs onto everyday Californians.
State-mandated charges account for nearly 1 out of 5 dollars on the average residential electric bill, up to $490 per year, while families continue paying more every month.
Californians are being priced out of the communities where they work, forcing longer commutes. Now, Sacramento Democrats are considering a tax on every mile you drive. Priced out, then punished. @AsmLaurieDavies
Turning on the A/C shouldn’t feel like a financial risk. We’re fighting to fix broken energy policies, lower taxes, and give families actual relief this summer.
California families are getting squeezed. Electricity rates have increased by roughly 50% since 2019, and Californians now pay nearly twice the national average. It's time to put affordability first.
As California temperatures rise, so do electric bills. Since 2019, California electricity rates have increased by roughly 50%. California's electricity rates are now nearly double the national average, turning air conditioning from a summer necessity into another financial burden for working families.
Last month Sacramento Democrats passed a record budget, but Californians aren't seeing the benefits. Democrats continue to dump money in the wrong places and can't take a hint. @hhadwickAD1
Governor Newsom is blaming the state for the homelessness, public safety, and affordability challenges that have worsened during his tenure as governor since 2019.
Californians deserve accountability, not excuses.
SMH.

Looks like @juliewattsTV is onto something!
Why does the legislature allow this kind of thing to happen? We shouldn’t spend hundreds of millions on no bid contracts, especially to the Governor’s friends.
