We should be focused on job one, two, and three. And that is cost of living, cost of living, cost of living. And letting California families know we want them to stay, we want them to thrive, we want them to retire in California. And that means tackling housing. And thank you to all the California voters who passed Proposition 1. We will put that to work immediately. If you wanted to lower your healthcare, help us now go to Washington, D .C. and get some of that trillion dollars that the President cut out of healthcare back so we don't have to take any of our California families off of healthcare. Help us tackle these rising prices on energy, whether it's at the utility bill or at the gas pump.
