  1. I am signing this letter to Congress and the WH asking that states like California be empowered to truly innovate and transform our healthcare systems: to develop a single-payer health system to achieve universal coverage, contain costs, and promote quality and affordability.

  2. Today, public and private purchasers of prescription drugs are left to negotiate drug prices on their own. This act will make CA the largest single purchaser of prescription drugs, and will one day allow every Californian to join with the state to negotiate drug prices.

  3. This executive order will allow CA to use our market power and our moral power to demand fairer prices for prescription drugs. Instead of facing price gauging drug companies alone, all Californians will take them on together. The power of many is greater than the power of money.

  4. California has always helped write America’s future. That’s why one of my first acts as governor is a series of bold, first in the nation actions to lower prescription drug prices and move California closer to health care for all.

  6. So much progress in our state has happened under the leadership of Governor Jerry Brown. It has been an honor to serve with him these past eight years — and to learn from him, not just as his Lt Gov, but throughout my lifetime. We owe him our thanks.

  7. This is a time for courage -- doing what is right even when it’s hard. It’s up to us what we do with it. America needs California -- the guiding light of our values and the progress we make possible. This is where America’s future is made. Let’s get to work.

  8. There are powerful forces arrayed against us: from powerful drug companies, to a gun lobby prioritizing profit over children's lives, to polluters who threaten our air, and payday lenders who target our most vulnerable. We have the power to stand up to them -- and we will.

  9. What we do today is even more consequential because of what’s happening in our country. People’s lives, freedom, security: they all hang in the balance. The country is watching us. The world is waiting on us. The future depends on it. Have no doubt: We. Will. Seize. This. Moment.

  10. The California dream runs deep in the history and character of our state -- but there is nothing inevitable about it. It’s up to us to renew the CA dream for a new generation. But it’s also up to us to defend it.

    100 years ago, women received the right to vote. Today, over 100 women are joining the most diverse Congress in our history -- a Congress that looks more like America. Congrats, ! Excited to see what this historic Congress will achieve.

    $558 billion worth of goods flow across our America's southern border. BILLIONS of dollars -- MILLIONS of jobs depend on our border. The President of the United States playing games with our economy and threatening to shut down our border is irresponsible, irrational and absurd.

    Progress: This year, states across our country stepped up and passed dozens of common sense gun reforms. The was outdone and outspent by people who are sick and tired of seeing gun violence plague our nation. Your turn, Congress.
