California is Falling Behind — It’s Time for Change

The more you dig into the numbers, the more it becomes clear: families, seniors, and young people in California are barely staying afloat — and Mike Levin is part of the reason why.

California now leads the nation in unemployment, with a 5.4% jobless rate as of June. We’re falling behind states across the country in job growth, business climate, and economic momentum.

Add to that a shocking new reality: 1 in 7 Americans are now using Buy Now, Pay Later apps like Klarna or Affirm — just to buy groceries. That means people are financing food because they can’t afford it upfront.

Meanwhile, California ranks near the bottom in homeownership, especially for young people. A generation that should be building families and buying homes is instead staring down a bleak economic future — burdened by high costs, heavy taxes, and hopelessness.

This isn’t sustainable. And it isn’t accidental.

Mike Levin has had 7 years in Congress. In that time, the cost of living has skyrocketed, homeownership has plummeted, and our quality of life has declined. He’s done nothing to stop it — in fact, he’s voted for more taxes, more regulations, and policies that make life harder for everyday Californians.

I’m running for Congress to change that. To get rid of the broken status quo, put American priorities first, and restore the promise of homeownership, opportunity, and a better life for our next generation.

This election isn’t about politics — it’s about survival. If you’re tired of being priced out, taxed out, or left behind, then join me. It’s time to turn things around.
