I’m proud to have supported Assembly Majority Leader Aguiar-Curry’s #AB1776 — arming CA DOJ with a new, important tool to go after anticompetitive conduct by a single firm — and grateful to @governor.ca.gov for signing it into law.
Huge news: @governor.ca.gov just signed the COMPETE Act into law! #AB1776 expands California's antitrust law to protect small businesses, workers, and consumers from corporate monopolies that abuse their power.

@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social This is why Californians need #AB1857 and #AB1776 to rein in big grocers and protect food access and affordability. #caleg www.sfgate.com/food/article...
Private equity and monopolies drive up the cost of health care. 📈💸

In 2013, a fire truck cost $500,000.
In 2023, the same truck cost $1,000,000.
Why? Private Equity and giant corporations took control of the industry and jacked up prices.
We can't let corporate greed make our communities less safe. @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social sign #AB1776, the COMPETE Act!
