ON THE CALIFORNIA CAMPAIGN TRAIL '26: NOTES FROM SEAN FORBES
DAY NINE: January 1, 2026 (Happy New Year)
LOCATION: Seal Beach, CA
WEATHER: 61°F (Mostly Clear)
The New Year holiday brings a mix of optimism and cynicism, as many resolutions often fade away. However, our Governor campaign is committed to a resolution that will create real change in California throughout 2026. We aim to present a clear alternative to the political options available.
Our priorities for California include:
-
Reclaiming the $276 billion sent to the federal government to cut funding to red states and end wasteful spending from the Trump administration.
-
Utilizing the $276 billion to fund Cal-Care, a universal healthcare system for all Californians.
-
Declaring a state of emergency to combat ICE activities and end government kidnappings. We will expand the California State Guard from 900 volunteers to 25,000 paid members, empowering them to observe, report, and legally obstruct ICE raids in our neighborhoods.
-
Convening a California State Constitutional Convention to establish “housing as a human right” and grant more power to local communities, allowing California to function with greater regional autonomy.
-
Establishing a California Permanent Fund to provide a Universal Basic Income (UBI), modeled after Alaska's fund. This fund will be financed by AI dividends and will help stabilize the economy for workers affected by automation and economic changes, reducing inequality and enhancing household security.
