I'm going to declare an emergency on day one all across the state.

The governor has done that right now in Altadena and in the Palisades.

And we say that on the one-year marker of that horrible fire.

that we're still rebuilding out of.

But I'm going to do that in every county, all 58 counties in the state.

And I'm going to tell every agency in the county, you have 90 days to approve or deny every outstanding application.

So I'm going to give them a deadline because I believe that a goal without a deadline is a dream.

So I'm going to bring a deadline to these agencies and we're going to surge workforce, affordable housing, because right now, to your point and your family,

In California, the average age for a first-time homebuyer is 40 years old.

And I want us to be a state where you can take your first job, have your first kid, and buy your first home in the same decade.

And that has to be the California promise.

That's the new California promise that I'm going to make.

Also, for people like your in-laws,

and your family members.

Many Californians work jobs where they don't have pensions or investment retirement accounts.

And it's also costing the state a fortune in how we take care of our seniors for healthcare and long-term care.

what i want to do is have a california prosperity plan where small businesses will have their contributions to their employees matched by the state for the middle income earners and and my hope is that we can give every senior fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars more a month to take care of those long-term healthcare costs and have them less uh have less of that coming from the state so

Our plan is from housing to small businesses and then modernization.

And on modernization, I want to virtualize as many services as possible.

Believe it or not, in a great state like California, where the tech economy has defined us, there's no front door app that you can use as a Californian to get your driver's license, fill out your small business permit.
