California becoming the 4th largest economy is a RED FLAG. As the state’s economy expanded, so did suffering. Our economy is not working for everyday folks. We need a realignment that prioritizes people from the bottom up.

It has become increasingly clear to me that California Democrats do not have the daily and persistent focus or courage to reject the status quo in order to meet the urgent needs of working Californians. The status quo continues to fall the people. My votes will no longer support it.
