Assemblyman Vince Fong (R-Kern County) issued the following statement in response to Governor Newsom's 2021 State of the State speech:

"This pandemic has clearly revealed problems created by Sacramento's policies and failed leadership. Many California residents fled this state during the pandemic because they lost hope that Sacramento can solve the persistent problems that plague our everyday lives. The failures of state government is evident in the millions of unemployed Californians experiencing the ineptitude of our state's unemployment bureaucracy and the many small businesses that have shut down permanently. The reality is that California is now known for not being able to do the basics, despite all of the Governor's rhetoric. We are way overdue for getting back to the basics and doing better for those who call California home." –Assemblyman Vince Fong
