California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson released the following statement around Gavin Newsom’s inauguration for a second term as governor:

“If Gavin Newsom’s first four years as governor are any indication of what’s to come, Californians are in for a rough ride. Newsom’s first-term record includes three-straight years of population decline, an outrageous cost of living, a mounting homeless crisis that now includes half of the nation’s unsheltered people, failing schools, inadequate water storage, lies about wildfire prevention efforts, and a commitment to release tens of thousands of violent criminals from prison early. Whether lecturing red states, plotting a laughable White House run, or making the rounds on cable news, the only lesson he’s actually teaching the nation is how to move your state in the wrong direction.”
