Make California Thrive Plan
A Thriving California: Federal Leadership. Local Freedom
California Deserves to Thrive — Not Just Survive
California leads the nation in culture, innovation, and talent — but our people are taxed more and too often left with less. As your U.S. Senator, I will use the full power of my federal office to build a new era of prosperity in California — one that leaves no community behind and opens the door to real economic freedom.
The Federal-State Innovation Pact
How I’ll Help California Eliminate Its State Income Tax — Responsibly
While state taxes are controlled in Sacramento, a U.S. Senator can lead a new kind of partnership between the federal government and the state — and I will.
Through the Federal-State Innovation Pact, I’ll work with California lawmakers, local leaders, and federal agencies to:
- Bring in federal transition funding to support the state’s move away from income tax dependence.
- Back legislation in Sacramento that responsibly restructures the tax base without hurting working families.
- Support ballot initiatives that allow voters to decide on bold reform.
- Use my national platform to rally public support and apply pressure on politicians who stall progress.
This isn’t about cutting services. It’s about cutting waste, expanding our economy, and giving Californians the freedom to keep more of what they earn — while still investing in the future.
How I’ll Make California Thrive from the U.S. Senate
Bring More Federal Dollars Home
California sends more money to D.C. than we get back. That ends with me. I’ll bring billions back to invest in:
- Clean energy & infrastructure
- Public transit & water systems
- Affordable housing & wildfire prevention
Champion Innovation, Jobs, & Education
- Create federal investment zones for clean tech and AI in California.
- Expand apprenticeships, trade programs, and college affordability.
- Support student debt relief for public workers and essential staff.
Support Housing & Cost-of-Living Relief
- Push zoning-flexible federal housing grants.
- Increase Section 8 and low-income housing tax credits.
- Cut federal taxes for working Californians and small business owners.
My Pledge to California:
“I’m not just running to represent California — I’m running to fight for it. I’ll make sure our tax dollars come home, our economy is built from the bottom up, and our people keep more of what they earn. And yes — I will be the loudest voice in Washington and Sacramento pushing for California to eliminate the state income tax, without raising the cost of living. It’s time for a new deal — one that finally puts the people first.”

Eliminating California’s state income tax can be done responsibly, strategically, and ensure the state continues to fund essential services like education, healthcare, infrastructure, and without increasing property taxes. The key is to reduce wasteful government spending, increase economic activity, and restructure how the state generates revenue.
