37 missing kids rescued. While too many in power look the other way, law enforcement stepped up and got it done. Protecting our kids should never be optional. This is what real public safety looks like. #FixCalifornia nypost.com/2026/03/11/us-…

Wildfire prevention is about protecting lives, homes, and communities. I am proud to stand with my colleagues and fire professionals to advance real solutions focused on prevention, better forest management, and public safety. Californians deserve action that puts safety first. #FixCalifornia

We stood with victims today because California’s parole system is broken. I have fought to stop these early releases and protect our communities, but the Democratic supermajority blocked it. Now I am continuing that fight with SB 906 to bring transparency so the parole board cannot hide while they let out monsters like Funston and Gregory Vogelsang, who was sentenced to 355 years to life for horrific crimes against children. They cannot keep hiding while predators are walking free! #FixCalifornia

I’ve warned over and over that giving CARB more power would drive up energy costs and gas prices. Now, even they’re admitting their latest tax-and-spend scheme has gone too far. That’s exactly why I’m continuing to push legislation to rein them in. #FixCailfornia nypost.com/2026/03/15/us-…

758 California workers are losing their jobs at Fort Irwin. That is hundreds of families suddenly facing uncertainty and communities losing millions in wages. The Democratic supermajority needs to start prioritizing California workers and our economy. #FixCalifornia sfchronicle.com/california/art…

The exodus continues. Wealthy Californians are selling multimillion-dollar homes and moving to Las Vegas, where there is no state income tax. They can buy bigger homes, pay lower taxes, and keep more of what they earn. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it keeps happening. Democratic policies are driving taxpayers out of California. #FixCalifornia realtor.com/news/trends/af…

Democrats Keep Regulating Housing Out of Reach California doesn’t need more housing bureaucracy. We need more housing. The Democratic supermajority keeps making homes harder and more expensive to build—then spends billions on “affordable housing” projects people still can’t afford. That’s not affordability. #FixCalifornia calmatters.org/newsletter/rep…

More than $4.4 million from major donors ended up funding a nonprofit created by Gavin Newsom’s wife. In Gavin’s California, the insiders always win. Nothing to see here… right? nypost.com/2026/03/10/us-…

Another Company Fleeing the Democratic Regulatory Machine After nearly 50 years in Orange County, Yamaha is moving its U.S. headquarters to Georgia. 250 jobs lost. High taxes, crushing regulations, and endless mandates keep driving employers out of California. Jobs are leaving! And Democrats still won’t listen. #FixCalifornia nypost.com/2026/03/09/us-…

This is exactly why California’s elderly parole law is so dangerous. Violent child predators are being set free despite sentences meant to keep them behind bars for life. I’ve fought this for years. That’s why I introduced SB 356 to raise the age and time served requirements. This insanity has to end! #FixCalifornia
Schubert Strategies@schubertstrat

Here we go again. 🚨 California’s parole board has granted parole to yet another child sexual predator from Sacramento. @CAgovernor Gavin Newsom’s elderly parole law once again is about to set another predator free. Meet Gregory Vogelsang. He kidnapped/lured and molested 5 young kids, one as young as 3 years old. He was sentenced to 355 YEARS TO LIFE for sexually assaulting children. A jury convicted him of 23 counts of forcible lewd acts on young boys. Now he’s being released unless Newsom’s parole board REVERSES this insane decision on March 18th. Let’s tell the parole board how you feel about serial child predators being released when a judge sentenced him to LIFE. BPH.CorrespondenceUnit@cdcr.ca.gov Time to stop this madness.

Gaslight Gavin claims he has cracked down on hospice fraud. But Los Angeles County has 1,800 hospices — more than SIX TIMES the national average for the county's senior population. Some even billed Medicare while reporting zero patients. If that's a crackdown, taxpayers deserve and explanation. cbsnews.com/projects/2026/…

$6.4 Billion Broken Promise Newsom tricked Californians into passing his mental health bond and not one project opened on time. He's on TV calling it "exceeding goals in record time" while San Diego is cutting 29 mental health programs to survive the gap HE created. This is what a $6.4 billion failure looks like, Gavin. #FixCalifornia calmatters.org/housing/homele…

If a video really shows people being paid $5 to sign petitions using someone else’s voter information, that’s not democracy. That’s fraud. But we’re told election safeguards aren’t necessary. Strange how the same people who oppose basic verification suddenly trust a system this easy to abuse. #FixCalifornia

🎥Mar09 2026 1:54pm Location 6th & Mission These people are paying people $5 dollars to sign a ballot, but as you watch the video their telling them what name to sign (which is someone else name) and what address to write. Seems kind of suspicious to me. Why not sign your own name and you can hear people doing it actually twice

Newsom's Favorite Excuse: The White House California was already at $4.52 before the Iran war. The nation jumped 64 cents, California jumped 83. That gap isn't the war. That's Gov. Gavin Newsom. He'll blame the federal government, he'll blame Trump, he'll blame anyone but himself while using the White House as a launching pad for his own national ambitions. Californians aren't buying it, Gavin. #FixCalifornia

Ouch. Here’s a look at the average cost of gas prices across the U.S. and California. You can see it went from $4.52 to $5.35 after the war with Iran began, a jump of 83 cent per gallon. Whereas the nation saw an average increase of 64 cents. How much are you paying for gas? Check out our latest gas price coverage here: abc7news.com/tag/gas-prices/

California’s elderly parole system is broken. For years I have been working to stop policies that allow violent offenders to qualify for early release simply because they reach a certain age. Despite those efforts, the Democratic hive mind continues to block changes while dangerous criminals are being released back onto our streets. That is why I am continuing the fight with SB 356, legislation to raise the age and time served of eligibility for elderly parole before someone can even be considered for release. Violent predators who committed heinous crimes should not be walking free in our communities. Public safety must come first. Victims deserve justice, and Californians deserve safer streets. #FixCalifornia

I warned this was coming. CARB is advancing cap-and-trade changes that gouge Californians and push gas prices up more than $1 per gallon! Instead of running the program openly, the carbon auctions are administered through a Delaware corporation outside California transparency laws. Californians deserve to know who is making decisions that raise their energy costs. That is exactly why I introduced 3 new bills to rein in Newsom's government machine and bring accountability to these mandates. #FixCalifornia

CARB’s Policies Are Threatening Southwest Fuel Stability Nevada’s governor is warning that CARB’s cap-and-invest changes could disrupt fuel supply across the Southwest! Our neighboring states rely on California refineries. Bad energy policy in California is now threatening fuel stability across the entire region. #FixCalifornia
Eytan Wallace@EytanWallace

ANOTHER UPDATE: Nevada Gov. @JosephMLombardo (R-Las Vegas) has sent @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom a letter, warning CA Air Resources Board’s proposed changes to CA’s Cap-and-Invest program could disrupt fuel supply stability in neighboring states that rely on California refineries — including Nevada. “My request is straightforward: any major policy change that could alter refinery economics in California must account for real-world consequences to neighboring states that depend on that infrastructure,” Lombardo wrote. “Fuel affordability and availability are foundational to economic stability, interstate commerce, and national security across the Southwest. Given additional tension in the Middle East, the situation is particularly pressing.”

More than 1.3 million Californians signed the petition to require voter ID and ensure only U.S. citizens vote. That is hundreds of thousands more signatures than required. Democrats need to listen to what Californians want. Securing our elections should not be partisan. #FixCalifornia ktla.com/news/californi…
