Recent coverage about California’s clean truck and bus program missed important context.  We’re setting the record straight on an effort that's helped reduce toxic diesel pollution for nearly two decades🚛💨📉 Read more 👉 ww2.arb.ca.gov/setting-recor…

To summarize: the guy who last year personally benefitted from $70 MILLION in active stock trades is standing in front of CA health workers making $25/hour and attacking the guy who actually signed SB 525, establishing the nation’s highest minimum wage for CA health workers.
Ro Khanna: “These billionaires are putting in $200M to try to kill Proposition 40. Some of the SEIU-UHW members I’ve talked to are tired of Democratic politicians like Gavin Newsom taking their marching orders from the donors who would fund a future presidential campaign. We are tired of a governor defying grassroots delegates in the California Democratic Party all because he’s on the side of Trump allies like Peter Thiel and Sergey Brin. You can’t pretend to be anti-Trump if you’re doing the bidding of Trump donors”

Signing the last bill of the regular legislative session with Senator @Scott_Wiener. We're investing in the people and institutions that will drive California's success for generations to come.

✍️ HISTORY MADE: SB 1387 (Stern) is now California law. Governor Newsom just signed our bill to make California the first state in the nation to recognize Jewish identity as an ethnicity in law. Hate crime, health, poverty and education data will count Jewish Californians, and we'll be seen as the diverse, complex people we are. Learn more: jewishcal.org/sb1387 #JewishCalifornia

Tonight’s Jewish Los Angeles Mayor Forum showed why @KarenBassLA is the clear choice. A solid, sober, unequivocal ally. Contrast that with @hasanthehun cheering on @nithyavraman, spitting in the face of the Jewish community just to get likes.

New Mexico Senator @benraylujan has been a leader in the effort to create a Fire Innovation Unit at the federal level, securing his legislation in @AlexPadilla4CA’s Fix Our Forests Act, which has the votes for passage in the lame duck. CA has a chance to lead the nation if @GavinNewsom signs @HenrySternCA’s SB 1079 this week.
Wildfires have devastated communities across our state. That’s why I’m leading the effort in the U.S. Senate to strengthen wildfire prevention, improve preparedness, and help ensure our communities have the resources they need when fires hit. abqjournal.com/opinion/opini…

No one can say they’ve stood up to the fossil fuels industry like I have. I protected California’s clean car standards. Defended the Clean Air Act. Took on the Clean Water Act. Upheld the Endangered Species Act. My record speaks for itself.

It’s not just that @XavierBecerra has been an environmental justice warrior his whole career. He actually understands what real people paying bills are going through. Climate progress can’t be conceptual or existential—it must be concrete and practical.
Low income Californians are disproportionately affected by climate change and pollution. No Californian should have to choose between the air they breathe and the neighborhood they can afford. As governor, I'll keep taking on polluters and protecting the Californians who have the most at stake.

This is energy policy for the people. We cannot let ourselves get lost in the weeds or torn apart by special interests. We need to help real people with tools that make sense. We need @XavierBecerra.
Listen up: free electricity. It’s called Power Hour - providing up to two hours of free electricity for millions of California households. Working families could save approximately $1,000 a year on their electricity bills. I’m looking forward to getting this done for California families when I’m in office.

2,700+ @CAL_FIRE, @Cal_OES, and local personnel are battling the Gann Fire in Calaveras County. Our brave firefighters and responders are working to contain the blaze and protect nearby communities. If you're in the area, be sure to follow emergency guidance and road closures.

This is exactly how a public-private partnership should work. Automakers are matching state funds to make every dollar go further. The result: more Californians can afford a zero-emission vehicle, and we keep California moving toward a cleaner future.

I've never backed down from a fight to protect California. As California Attorney General, I: 🌬️ Took on Trump to defend California's clean air standards. 🌱 Sued to stop rollbacks of critical environmental protections. 💧 Protected clean water, public lands, and endangered species. 🌍 Held polluters accountable for putting our communities at risk. As Governor, I'll keep fighting for clean air, clean water, and a healthier California for every family.

Thanks to @ZavalaA for shining a spotlight on Jane Kim’s dangerous lack of experience on insurance issues. We cannot afford a Commissioner who sees this office merely as an opportunity to push socialist propaganda. The stakes are too high. The job is too serious.
Jane Kim is running to be California's next Insurance Commissioner amid the state's insurance crisis. I asked her repeatedly what experience she has with the industry. She wouldn't directly answer the question and instead explained what she thinks IC is supposed to do:

As the climate crisis brings more sudden and extreme wildfire threats to California, we're meeting the moment with state-of-the-art firefighting technology and fire prevention work. Our extraordinary firefighters continue to step up to protect communities up and down our state.

Awesome to see California leaning into the great innovation happening in firetech - and game changing work coming from @Seneca_Systems and @Stu_Land

Let my record show that I take climate change seriously. As Attorney General, I established the Bureau of Environmental Justice. As HHS Secretary, I oversaw the establishment of the Office of Environmental Justice within the HHS Office of Climate Change and Health Equity. And now, as Governor, I’ll fight to protect California communities that are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and push for progressive environmental policies that will help California combat climate change.
