"I don't run from tough problems, I solve them,"
""veto any billion-dollar tax hike...like the one they'll sign,""
""I'm focused on affordability. Well, the rest of them are just focused on Trump.""
""It's clear this is rapidly becoming a two-person race for Governor," "Xavier Becerra is the only candidate who has taken on the Trump administration, and won repeatedly, and the only candidate with the experience to stand up for the millions of Californians losing their health insurance to pay for Donald Trump's billionaire tax cuts.""
Antonio Villaraigosa launched his first prime-time television ad focusing on affordability and fiscal leadership. The ad highlights his record balancing budgets as Speaker of the California Assembly and leading Los Angeles through the 2008 recession. The ad promises to veto any billion-dollar tax hike and contrasts his stance with opponents who support single-payer healthcare, with photos of Xavier Becerra and Katie Porter shown. Villaraigosa said he is focused on affordability rather than focusing on Trump. A Becerra campaign consultant dismissed the attack and defended Becerra's record taking on the Trump administration and defending Californians' health coverage.
