Today, Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-Jackson) released the following statement responding to Governor Newsom’s call for a special session:
"This is another example of how disconnected the governor and progressives are from everyday Californians. Rising costs, surging crime, the need for better economic opportunities, and a chance for families to thrive — these are the issues that people care about.
"Californians know that the supermajority's agenda has abandoned them, and leaves behind the most vulnerable it claims to protect. The people have had enough, and they made that crystal clear by passing Proposition 36—a crucial step toward making our communities safer.
"In the recent special session on gas prices, Republicans put forward real solutions only to see them dismissed for yet another one-sided approach. Will this session deliver more of the same? Instead of knee-jerk theatrics, this should be an opportunity to work together and focus on actually improving Californians' lives."
