Policy

California is at an inflection point and it’s time for a change. Despite a booming tech industry that is generating the biggest state budget surpluses in history, everyday Californians are finding it harder and harder to get by. Whether in the form of soaring housing and rent costs, or the exploding homelessness crisis, spiraling property crime, and devastating effects of out of control fire and drought; our beautiful and cherished state is becoming unlivable for the middle and working class.

California lags the nation and its competitors on the percentage of new jobs created for the middle-class. The NCC has a plan for boosting the number of middle-class jobs and helping Californians get ahead.
