Let’s Make California Golden Again!
“California’s endless regulatory nightmare, bloated by over 420,000 rules churned out by a bureaucracy beholden to crony special interests and public sector unions, systematically favors massive corporate chains that can afford armies of lawyers and lobbyists, while crushing our mom and pop small businesses at every turn with pointless permits, extortionate lawsuits like PAGA, and mandates such as AB 1228’s fast-food wage hikes that force layoffs and closures. As governor, I’ll fight for working people by sunsetting our entire regulatory code—letting outdated rules expire unless proven essential—ending the war on entrepreneurs, slashing the administrative state, and creating a fair playing field where small businesses, the true backbone of our economy, can thrive without being drowned in red tape designed to protect the powerful elites.” —Steve Hilton
