CFRW Capitol Update November 25, 2024

From the Desk of Lydia Kanno, CFRW President NOVEMBER 25, 2024

Forecast Multiyear State Budget Deficit Overview of the Legal Analyst Office - "Annual Fiscal Outlook"

The 2024 election results are FINALLY in – and Senate Republicans WON BIG thanks to your help!

For the first time since 1980 (44 years!), we OUSTED an incumbent Democrat Senator in a Presidential General Election. Republican Steven Choi unseated Democrat Josh Newman with over a 6,200 vote margin in Orange County.

As your Republican Leader, I’m committed to growing our representation—and that’s exactly what we’ve accomplished. Senate Republicans are thrilled to enter 2025 with 10 members in our caucus, up from 8 members just one year ago.

Republicans are not only growing in numbers, but we’re also growing more diverse. For the first time in history, the Senate Republican Caucus has a majority of women, with three of the six women senators being Latina.

Not only did Republicans WIN, but voters overwhelmingly rejected Democrats’ radical agenda on critical ballot initiatives:

– Prop 5 failed by a wide margin, sending a strong message to Sacramento Democrats that we don’t want higher property taxes.

– Prop 32 to raise the state’s minimum wage failed, the first failure of such an initiative nationwide in almost 30 years.

– Prop 36 passed by a landslide, ushering in a new era where crime is illegal again and criminals are held accountable.

Voters also threw out liberal, soft-on-crime District Attorneys in Alameda County (Pamela Price) and Los Angeles County (George Gascon), and unseated left-wing San Francisco Mayor London Breed.

Thank you to everyone who chipped in, shared our message, and voted Republican this election. We couldn’t have done this without you. Despite the best efforts of Democrat politicians to stop us, we are FIXING CALIFORNIA.

Now that the election is over, the real battle begins at our State Capitol. Gas prices could go up 90 cents next year. Our state is facing a budget deficit (again). And Democrats are still pushing early release for criminals.

(For the average Californian driving a gas-powered car, these costly policies will require an  additional $600–$1,000 in pre-tax income just to break even.)

As your Senate Republican Leader, I’m bringing you weekly updates from Sacramento to EXPOSE the Democrat majority. If you know anyone who has had enough of failed policies, corrupt politicians, and broken promises, encourage them to sign up for my email updates.

Together, let’s amplify the truth about what’s really going on in our state Capitol.

Help us FIX CALIFORNIA.

Thank you,
Brian W. Jones
Republican Senate Leader
