CAGOP Statement on Gavin Newsom's White House Visit

SACRAMENTO - California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson released the following statement around Governor Gavin Newsom’s visit with President Donald Trump at the White House today:

“Governor Newsom continues his desperate attempt to ‘Trump-proof’ California while simultaneously running to President Trump for help. The hypocrisy is astounding. Instead of playing political games and positioning himself for 2028, Newsom should focus on fixing the real problems Californians face - rampant homelessness, failing schools and an affordability crisis that are forcing families and businesses to flee.

“Fortunately, President Trump is committed to a brighter California future, stating, ‘there can be no Golden Age without the Golden State.’ If Newsom truly cares about California, he should stop the partisan posturing, work with President Trump and deliver real solutions for the people he was elected to serve.”
