Reliable, affordable energy. A Problem Solvers Caucus affordability priority: lower energy costs while advancing a clean, reliable energy future, and support innovation, affordability, and energy independence. #caleg

What we've been up to this year 📸 A housing deep dive. A press conference on California's fuel supply. Caucus meetings. Our E15 bill, passed unanimously and signed into law. Republicans and Democrats, working together. #caleg

Health care is one of the costs stretching California household budgets. A Problem Solvers Caucus affordability priority: reduce health care costs while improving access, transparency, and quality, and strengthen California's health care workforce. #caleg

Affordability takes a comprehensive approach. The Problem Solvers Caucus believes that means reducing the cost of living while removing barriers that unnecessarily increase the cost of providing essential goods and services. #caleg

Common ground isn't found. It's built. The Problem Solvers Caucus brings together Republicans and Democrats from both houses of the Legislature who believe collaboration produces better public policy. #caleg

There's a lot happening around climate policy in California. It raises real questions about cost, access and impact on Californians. The Problem Solvers Caucus is committed to listening, learning and leading to help strike that balance. #caleg

Lawmakers can't oversee what they can't see. The Problem Solvers Caucus pressed the California Energy Commission and other state agencies to release overdue energy transition and planning reports, improving legislative oversight. #caleg

Our goal is straightforward: build a California where families can afford to live, businesses can succeed, workers can prosper, and future generations have every opportunity to thrive. #caleg

Lowering costs. Expanding opportunity. Improving quality of life. Two caucus priorities: support small businesses, entrepreneurs and good-paying jobs, and create pathways from education to careers through skills training, apprenticeships and innovation. #caleg

Another step for E15 in California. In September, California Air Resources Board adopted rules to support E15, and the caucus's E15 clean-up bill, SB 795, takes effect Jan. 1, 2027. Thank you @ArchuletaSD30, @SenValladares and @AlvarezSD for bipartisan problem solving that delivers. #caleg

The cost of legislation does not end with the state budget. It can appear in utility bills, rent, fuel prices and the cost of doing business. Thoughtful policymaking means examining the full impact before Californians are left paying the bill. #caleg

If Californians can't afford the policy, the policy isn't finished. In early 2025, the Problem Solvers Caucus defined four bipartisan principles for reauthorizing what is now Cap-and-Invest: affordability, comprehensive cost analysis, robust oversight and certainty. #caleg

Convener and catalyst. The bipartisan, bicameral Problem Solvers Caucus brings together innovative ideas and diverse stakeholders to advance pragmatic policymaking, and crafts solutions based on common ground rather than rigid partisan ideology. #caleg

Good policy should survive three questions: Does it work? Can we afford it? Who does it help? Problem solving starts with asking the right questions. #caleg

Clean fuel should be cost-effective to make. That's why the Problem Solvers Caucus used its bipartisan voice to object to restrictive federal tax treatment of California's hydrogen marketplace. #caleg

Prosperity and affordability aren't competing priorities. The Problem Solvers Caucus believes they're inseparable: lasting affordability depends on a strong, growing economy where businesses can invest and workers can prosper. #caleg

Retail theft isn't a partisan issue. In 2024, the Problem Solvers Caucus endorsed a five-bill package to curb retail theft: enhanced punishments for repeat offenders, aiding cargo theft investigations, penalties for coercion of minors and new prosecutorial discretion. #caleg
