Campaigning in CA
Hello, I hope that you’re doing great!
I was in Los Angeles campaigning for Forward this past week and had an awesome time. Governor Christie Todd Whitman and I did an interview with statewide press and we met with activists and leaders in the state.
Literally thousands of Californians signed up for the new party upon our announcement – they know that politics as usual isn’t working in the Golden State and a new approach is needed. Homelessness was top of mind for the folks in LA but there were many other issues as well.
Fundamentally, California functions as a one-party state, with Democrats enjoying a supermajority. We don’t think that delivers the best policies, results or accountability for the people. And you can see that California has been struggling with people and businesses leaving due to the high costs of living and quality of life issues. It’s a wonderful place – but we think it can do better moving forward. And far too many Californians feel like they are on the outside looking in.
You can register for the Common Sense party now to make your voice heard! Forward and Common Sense will be teaming up to get party recognition through the rest of the year. We need to get 73,000 registrations and are almost halfway there already! Every voter counts so tell your friends and family who you know want something new. Register today!
If California were its own country it would be the 5th biggest economy in the world. It’s no exaggeration to say that where you go, the world will follow. It’s one reason why I’m so excited for this effort. I’ll be back in California every month this year to continue making the case, so keep an eye out!
Love California! Let’s make it better.
