“What is important however is ensuring this economic growth benefits all Californians. While we have moved forward leaps and bounds with our progressive policies, it is imperative that we continue to fight to ensure that no one is left behind and that our lives are better not just compared to last year but better than before COVID-19. Let’s get to work!”
