California Democrats have built a blueprint for the nation: proving that when we show up, organize, and stand together, we can protect democracy, expand opportunity, and deliver real results for working families. This is what leadership looks like.
Economy & Cost of Living
- California Democrats are taking on the high cost of living by putting working families first, not corporate special interests.
- We’ve delivered historic minimum wage increases, expanded overtime protections, and strengthened labor standards so paychecks keep up with rising costs.
- Democrats capped insulin costs, lowered prescription drug prices, and expanded CalFresh and child care support to help families afford the basics.
- We’re investing in clean energy and utility oversight to rein in energy costs and protect consumers from price gouging.
- When families are squeezed, Democrats step in, because an economy that works for all is the foundation of the California Blueprint.
Housing & Homelessness
- California Democrats are building more housing than at any point in decades, cutting red tape and holding local governments accountable for meeting housing needs.
- We’ve invested billions in affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and supportive housing with services, addressing homelessness with compassion and solutions, not slogans.
- We believe housing is a human right. Democrats strengthened tenant protections, limited unjust evictions, and expanded rental assistance to keep families housed.
Immigration
- California Democrats proudly stand with immigrant communities and have made the state a national model for inclusion and dignity.
- We expanded access to health care, education, worker protections, and disaster assistance regardless of immigration status.
- Democrats protect families from separation and reject fear-based politics that scapegoat immigrants.
- Immigrants power California’s economy and strengthen our communities, and together, we fight for fair, humane, and just immigration policies.
Healthcare
- California Democrats are leading the nation toward universal health care, expanding Medi-Cal to millions more Californians, including seniors, kids, and immigrants.
- We’ve taken on corporate greed to put patients before insurance company profits, lowering prescription costs and expanding access to lifesaving care.
- Democrats protected and expanded reproductive and gender-affirming health care, ensuring patients, not politicians, make medical decisions.
- Health care is a right, not a privilege. Together, we’re building a system that puts people over profits.
LGBTQ+ Rights
- California Democrats are unwavering in our commitment to equality, safety, and dignity for LGBTQ+ Californians.
- We strengthened protections against discrimination in housing, employment, schools, and health care.
- Democrats made California a safe haven for transgender people and their families, standing up to attacks coming from extremist politicians in other states.
- When LGBTQ+ rights are under attack nationwide, California leads with courage. Together, we defend everyone’s right to live openly and authentically.
Reproductive Rights
- California Democrats are the strongest firewall for reproductive freedom in America.
- We protected abortion access, expanded providers, and ensured reproductive care remains available, even as other states strip rights away.
- Democrats invested in reproductive health infrastructure and shield laws to protect patients and providers from out-of-state attacks.
- The freedom to make personal health decisions belongs to individuals, not politicians. Together we will never back down from that fight.
Environment & Climate Change
- California Democrats are leading the world on climate action, creating good-paying union jobs while cutting pollution.
- We’ve made historic investments in clean energy, climate resilience, wildfire prevention, and clean transportation. California passed a historic cap-and-invest legislation to further our clean energy goals.
- Democrats are holding polluters accountable while ensuring the transition to a clean economy lifts up workers and frontline communities.
- Climate action is economic action—and together, we’re building a healthier, safer future for the next generation.
