When the federal government can't or won't support scientific research, state leaders like @Scott_Wiener are stepping up to keep the lights on in America's labs - and 60,000+ UAW researchers on the job. @uawregion6
Trump's federal cuts are threatening lifesaving scientific breakthroughs. That’s why I’m leading a plan to put a $23 billion science research bond on the ballot. The best part? My bill requires that the drugs developed with this public research bond must be sold at a discount.

"If passed by the legislature and signed by @CAgovernor, the California Science and Health Research Bond Act would place a measure on the state’s November 2026 ballot funding up to $23 billion worth of scientific research at California institutions. It would give people — not political appointees or corporate lobbyists, as too often happens in Washington — the power to prioritize the research that matters most to their lives and their families."
