Will of Californians Has Prevailed

This was a House debate titled ‘Will of the Californians Has Prevailed,’ concerning California’s ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars. Representative Kevin Kiley cited a Public Policy Institute of California survey saying two-thirds of Californians oppose the ban, which he said was imposed by Governor Newsom without a vote in the legislature. He said a measure he wrote to block the ban passed Congress and was signed into law, allowing Californians to keep choosing what kind of car to drive.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

“A poll shows that most Californians oppose Governor Newsom's ban on gas-powered cars. I wrote a measure in Congress to stop that ban. Congress passed it, and the President signed it into law. Californians can keep choosing what kind of car to drive.”
Official Congressional Record

A new survey from the Public Policy Institute of California finds that two-thirds of Californians oppose Governor Newsom’s ban on gas-powered cars. This ban was imposed by the Governor without so much as a vote in the legislature or the people of California. The good news is that the will of the people has prevailed. I introduced a resolution here in Congress to reverse Governor Newsom’s ban on gas cars. It passed this House with strong bipartisan support. It has passed the Senate with bipartisan support, and it was signed into law by the President. This is an important win for sanity in California. Californians can continue to drive the car of their choice, and it is exactly the kind of check and balance against the extreme policies in Sacramento that Californians are asking for.
