Gavin Newsom: “The legislature this year, and it's a point of optimism…”

“It's about a sense of well being, a purpose, a mission that I feel right now in terms of the policy, to be more accountable and to push back. And I'm very proud. Again, and forgive me on the policy frame, but The legislature this year, and it's a point of optimism, California, we moved in a completely different direction, daylight versus darkness. And we did so by punctuating some very, very strong environmental laws in the last few weeks that I'm deeply proud of. And I hope it gives some of you some optimism that there are some good things still happening in this space across the United States. Okay, in closing.” (27:33–27:53)
