Gov. Newsom characterized 2024 as an 'extraordinary moment in history' lifting California as a beacon and an 'antidote to the poisonous populism of the right.'
He highlighted successes on climate action, gun safety, immigration, homelessness, a balanced budget, and efforts to curb retail theft, amidst a nearly $300 billion budget deal closing a $47 billion shortfall.
Newsom emphasized the battle between embracing values or facing a world darkened by division, discrimination, and threats to California's pluralism, innovative spirit, and diversity.
The governor concluded optimistically, noting California as a place attracting creative individuals, offering world-class education leading to jobs and fostering prosperity amidst challenges.
