California Republicans didn’t take long to respond to the Governors last State of the State address. Party Chairwoman, Corrin Rankin said Governor Newsom told Californians that homelessness is down, crime is at record lows, schools are improving, and Los Angeles is recovering after the Palisades Fire. Governor Newsom painted a picture of a California that exists in his imagination. Californians do not live in Gavin Newsom’s alternate reality, they live in the real California, which looks very different than his fantasy Marin bubble. Rankin also saying the states cost of living is 40% above the national average, with housing prices nearly double the rest of the country—a median home now costs over $900,000, and on wildfire recovery, Rankin said a year after the Palisades and Eaton Fires, fewer than a dozen homes had been rebuilt out of the thousands lost. She added that the Republican Party is ready to lead and fix what Gavin Newsom and the Democrats have broken saying Californians deserve leadership that tells the truth, respects the voters, and focuses on results people can feel: safer neighborhoods, schools that teach the basics, faster rebuilding after disasters, and a government that lives within its means.
