Eight years as governor. Highest gas prices in the nation. Two refineries closed. No pipelines. 60 percent foreign imports. But you blame the man who’s term started less than two years ago. #FixCalifornia

AB 2108 Will Put Criminals Back on Your Streets. Californians voted for Prop 36 in every single county. Now Democrats are gutting it with a bill that lets retail thieves walk with a diversion program instead of consequences. This tells every criminal in California that voters do
