“This coalition looks like California, because Prop 45 is about a problem every single Californian feels: addressing our high cost of living,” said @CalChamberJen, president and CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce. “Prop 45 will cut the years of unnecessary delay standing between families and the housing, clean energy and water infrastructure we need. That’s the kind of common ground California needs right now.” calchamberalert.com/2026/09/… #Prop45 #YesOnProp45 @YesProp45CA

A new economic analysis from Blue Sky Consulting Group finds #Proposition45, the Building an Affordable California Act, will deliver significant economic benefits for California. “Unnecessary delays are driving up the cost of housing, infrastructure and energy, and those costs land squarely on families and taxpayers,” said CalChamber President & CEO @CalChamberJen Barrera. “This report shows what Prop 45 would deliver – nearly 200,000 more homes, lower costs for roads, water systems and schools, and billions in savings for electricity customers. @YesProp45CA #Prop45 #CaliforniaAffordablility yesonprop45.com/2026/09/30/n…

California is failing to deliver the basics. Prop 45 cuts unnecessary red tape so housing, schools, roads and essential infrastructure can move forward faster— lowering costs while preserving environmental protections, public input and local control. #YesOnProp45

CalChamber is urging voters to @VoteNoOn40. California's economic future, education, health care, and public safety funding shouldn’t be a place for the French economists who wrote Prop 40 to “experiment.” There's a reason that nine countries have repealed their wealth tax. whowroteprop40.org/

This week on Inside California Politics, host @NikkiLaurenzo speaks with California Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jennifer Barrera about Proposition 45, which the chamber sponsored. #Prop45 would amend the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by setting deadlines on environmental reviews and lawsuit challenges for certain types of projects. “We all know housing is such a huge need here in California," Becerra said. "We’ve seen projects down in Southern California where they haven’t even put a shovel in the ground, and it’s been 20 years since the application process for the housing project." @CalChamberJen #YesOnProp45 #Video fox5sandiego.com/news/inside…
