Millions of Californians who rent are still shut out of solar savings – you can't put panels on a roof you don't own. I've been at this for four years, and it's coming back in January.02 Oct 2026 00:50 +0000at://did:plc:546fa5ljcnui2qa3ddkzcgvf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwu5pdu5hx2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/chriswardca.bsky.social/post/3mwrbd2zf352pThe Governor just signed AB 2222, the Community NEWS Act. Local newsrooms now get a tax credit to hire and keep journalists – the largest investment in local journalist jobs by any state. A free press keeps us informed and holds power accountable.30 Sep 2026 21:16 +0000at://did:plc:546fa5ljcnui2qa3ddkzcgvf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwrbd2zf352phttps://bsky.app/profile/chriswardca.bsky.social/post/3mwmmze5eu52nThe Governor vetoed AB 1542.

California is tearing them down. I voted for SB 1164 to strengthen the CA Voting Rights Act and SB 1360 to expand translated election materials.

I'm making the case for the bills San Diegans sent me here to pass: lower costs, stronger privacy protections, and a fair shot for working families.13 Aug 2026 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:546fa5ljcnui2qa3ddkzcgvf/app.bsky.feed.post/3msycicdrc52phttps://bsky.app/profile/chriswardca.bsky.social/post/3msw2el26ci25Three weeks left in the CA legislative session, and we're not slowing down. This is the stretch where bills live or die - from data privacy to housing costs to lowering your utility bills. I'll keep fighting to get San Diegans real results before the clock runs out.12 Aug 2026 21:15 +0000at://did:plc:546fa5ljcnui2qa3ddkzcgvf/app.bsky.feed.post/3msw2el26ci25https://bsky.app/profile/chriswardca.bsky.social/post/3msjl3didos2hDid you know companies can use your personal data to charge you more than someone else for the same product? I'm working to ban that deeply unfair and discriminatory practice in California with AB 2564. It's time to hold these companies accountable & make things more affordable.07 Aug 2026 22:09 +0000at://did:plc:546fa5ljcnui2qa3ddkzcgvf/app.bsky.feed.post/3msjl3didos2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/chriswardca.bsky.social/post/3mrbfzegvw22gKicked off an amazing San Diego Pride week with @eqca.bsky.social's San Diego Happy Hour.
