Senate Leader McGuire, Budget Chair Wiener Issue Statement on Governor Newsom’s May Revision to State Budget
SACRAMENTO – Senate President pro Tempore Mike McGuire (D-North Coast) and Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee Chair Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) released the following statement in response to Governor Gavin Newsom’s May revision to the proposed state budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year:
“We’ve been preparing for this challenging budget year for quite some time, which has been made even more difficult by an openly hostile federal administration that’s coming for many of the policies and programs that make California great. The Senate will be presenting its version of the budget in the weeks to come, but one thing you can take to the bank today, is that we will never stop fighting for those who most need someone in their corner. We remain focused and prepared to protect the people and progress we’ve made over the years. Tough decisions are needed to deliver a balanced and on time budget, but no matter the obstacles, we’re going to deliver for the people of the Golden State.”
