State Politicians

California's June 2 primary is days away, and Garry's List has launched a voter guide aggregating endorsements from housing, labor, and civic reform organizations to help voters cut through the noise. Behind the elections, Sacramento is under mounting scrutiny: the LAO confirmed state spending outpaced revenue growth by 10 points since the pandemic, producing structural deficits of $20–$30 billion annually, while auditors documented billions in ignored fraud and a $21 billion federal debt California still hasn't repaid. Meanwhile, two major legislative battles are heating up — a bill targeting Big Tech self-preferencing (SB 1074) and a privacy measure critics say could expose journalists investigating taxpayer-funded immigration nonprofits to steep fines.
