We need to bring this under control.
We're on an unsustainable path.
That means structural change.
I am willing to do structural change there.
We have the second highest electricity costs in the country.
We also have, it's delivered through enforceable legal monopolies.
We have to introduce competition into that system because monopolies always produce the worst service at the highest cost because they're a monopoly.
And if you don't like it, you don't have a choice.
I am willing to make the structural changes that are necessary.
I'm willing to attack the special interests who are ripping off Californians.
I don't think the people who work at utilities are bad people.
I think structurally they're doing the job they think they're hired to do, which is deliver returns to their shareholders.
Okay.
My job is to stand up for working Californian families at every single instance.
And that's my only job.
And that means I'm going to change things that need to be changed at a structural level.
As someone who's an outsider and who succeeded in changing things from the outside, as governor, I will do that every single day.
I started the Need to Impeach program in 2017.
We collected 8 million signatures to oppose an illegal criminal administration, including a million in California.
I have been standing up and organizing against Donald Trump for a long time.
