Time’s Up!
The 2026 election is here, and it’s all about AFFORDABILITY!
There’s six weeks of the 2026 legislative session left — and the clock is ticking!
Every week that passes is a week California families continue paying more for gas, energy, groceries, housing, taxes, healthcare and other essentials.
Voters sent a clear message in the primary earlier this month: this election is all about affordability! Multiple polls have also found affordability and the cost of living consistently rank among Californians' top concerns. Families are looking for real solutions that help stretch household budgets. They are keeping an eye on how politicians are addressing the state’s out-of-control cost of living crisis.
Lawmakers are running out of time to act
Lawmakers still have an opportunity to address affordability before the session ends, but the clock is ticking.
Prioritize affordability
Make lowering everyday costs a central goal of any policy proposals.
Advance balanced climate policies
Support market-based and incentive-driven approaches that reduce emissions at the lowest possible cost.
Avoid unnecessary cost increases
Carefully evaluate how new regulations affect family budgets, energy bills, food prices and essential industries.
Support programs with proven results
Californians need policies that work in the real world: lower emissions, stronger jobs and lower costs.
