The economic impacts resulting from two years of mandates, regulations, increasing costs, and the unsustainable tax increases placed upon businesses and workers alike are far reaching. California, once considered the greatest economy in the nation, is now pushing businesses to leave this state. Through the actions of our state leadership, successful companies are leaving California. This is unacceptable.
As governor, I will work to encourage business growth, lower costs of doing business in California, entice companies to hire more employees, minimize regulations that stop growth, and work with our farmers to strengthen and increase their harvest output, which is the backbone of our country. I will work to change how California government conducts business. California will do business with California companies. We will open the doors to competitive bidding, reduce qualification requirements, and help provide a pathway for the small business owner to contract work. Together we will once again be the greatest economy of the Nation.
