CAGOP Statement on Newsom's Special Session

SACRAMENTO - On December 2, 2024, California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson released the following statement in response to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s special session convening in Sacramento:

“Leave it to Gavin Newsom to misread the room. In California, President Trump shifted almost every single county to the right last month, including flipping several to his side entirely, in comparison to his 2020 race. Yet instead of taking the hint that Californians are growing tired of Democrat incompetence, Newsom is doubling down on his extreme agenda and using his special session to ‘Trump-proof’ California with taxpayer dollars. It’s clear that Gavin Newsom’s 2028 presidential run is now underway, and Californians are simply pawns in his game.”
