One of the most popular states in our country has been destroyed by progressives by forcing green where it doesn’t belong. Green is good, but it has to be common sense, and that is where California loses. Once, California was the leader in economics and EV mandates, with numerous major businesses providing a tax base. But businesses are leaving, and I am talking about significant tax revenue loss along with the associated jobs.
This is Gavin’s world, and this is what he will have to explain as a Presidential candidate. If the Democrats pick this guy, they deserve to go down the tubes during the elections. All IMO.

“California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to run for president, but the state of California is a hindrance to that. So, instead of solving the plentiful problems afflicting the once-golden state, Newsom is seeking to fund a $19 million “California Brand Campaign” that would argue on a national level that California “is an economic powerhouse.”
The campaign is supposed to show the “reality” of California that is “obscured by negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media.”
The state government has called for interested contractors to develop a plan for “paid, social, and any other digital content.” Videos, the government said, can be “optimized for social media” or “designed for owned state channels, presentations, or events.”
This reeks of desperation. Newsom, seeing how much of a problem California’s “brand perception” is for his presidential campaign, is hiring out people to make TikTok videos for him — on the state’s dime.
Many are quickly seeing this project for exactly what it is.
Steve Maviglio, a Democratic political strategist who is a longtime Newsom critic, pointed out that the contract only lasts until the end of this year, when Newsom will be finishing up his term as governor.
“That just says all you need to know about this,” Maviglio told Fox 40. “It’s not so much about helping California businesses, it’s about trying to prop up Newsom’s unfavorability as he runs around the country.”
