A Great Year for US Stocks? Not Compared to Rest of the World

Check a ranking of the best-performing equity indexes this year and the US doesn’t crack the Top 10. You won’t find it in the Top 25, either. Double that, and the S&P 500 is still absent.

I just signed legislation further enabling the development of carbon management projects in California.

This action will create good-paying jobs, put our state on the leading edge of another emerging innovative industry, and aims to help further reduce climate pollution.

I just approved major pieces of legislation to keep building more affordable housing.

Whether it's turning empty office buildings into residential spaces or building more homes near public transportation, we're doing all we can to lower the price to realize the California Dream.
