Rep. Vince Fong’s Statement on Governor Newsom Lecturing the Central Valley During Rebranding Tour

“Governor Gavin Newsom’s rebranding tour ignores the fact that it’s his own policies that have damaged and harmed our region. Newsom has actively restricted needed energy production, hurt the construction of energy pipelines and refinery infrastructure, prevented the flow of vital water supplies and hindered the construction of water storage infrastructure, and crushed our supply chain with mandates on trucking, rail and warehousing. Small businesses are struggling with mounting burdens of taxes, fees and regulations that the Newsom Administration continues to pile on. It bears repeating, Governor Newsom should stop lecturing and demonizing our region, and actually listen. Instead of repackaging his failed policies, it’s time to undo the damage caused by the Newsom Administration.”
