Really good discussion and turnout on Friday evening at my San Joaquin County town hall on defeating the Delta Tunnel fast-tracking plan, working to make CA more affordable, creating more jobs as we transition to clean energy, and ensuring artificial intelligence is safe and beneficial.

Honored to help lead a successful effort to exempt up to $20,000 in military retirement income from state taxes.

Also proud to support SB 296, which sought to provide a full property tax exemption for 100% disabled veterans or their surviving spouses.

Senator Jerry McNerney @senmcnerney.bsky.social · 5d

Great to join with Congressman Josh Harder for a roundtable discussion in Manteca on veterans' issues.

Also proud to support and help lead actions in the CA Legislature this year to strengthen veterans' benefits in the state.

Proud to stand with my friend & former colleague Congressman @ericswalwell.bsky.social & with Assemblymember @asmlizortega.bsky.social to speak out against the Trump shutdown of the federal government and the GOP's draconian cuts, which will kick millions of Californians off of health care coverage.

SB 86 extends the clean energy tax incentive program and expands it to include fusion energy, a cutting-edge technology that has the potential to produce unlimited amounts of safe, clean power.

Senator Jerry McNerney @senmcnerney.bsky.social · 7d

With the Trump Administration eliminating clean energy funding nationwide, SB 86 will help California maintain its lead in the fight against climate change by continuing to incentivize green energy projects.

It has been an amazing leg session with SB 787! UAW members from the entire clean energy supply chain- from researchers to auto manufacturing workers- showed up to lay groundwork for a CA Just Transition. Now our diverse coalition asks @governor.ca.gov to sign SB 787! @uawregion6.bsky.social

SB 237 includes a suite of strategies to ensure that California maintains a stable fuel supply to meet demand and prevent price spikes as consumers increasingly buy electric cars and fuel-efficient vehicles.
