Smarter, More Efficient Government
Government Impacts Everything…
…from how fast we build homes and fix roads, to how well we serve students, families, and small businesses. But too often, California’s systems are outdated, inefficient, and hard to navigate—leaving residents frustrated and progress stalled.
Policies for improving student outcomes
Californians deserve a government that works as smart and hard as they do. That means modernizing technology, cutting red tape, improving transparency, and focusing on results—not bureaucracy. Smarter government isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing better. By streamlining services, empowering frontline workers, and using data to drive decisions, we can rebuild trust and deliver real results for the people of California.
