US EditionCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom to Deliver Final State of the State Address
- On Thursday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivers his final State of the State to lawmakers in Sacramento, outlining priorities for his last year and unveiling his proposed budget on Friday.
- Facing an estimated $18 billion deficit, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office says budget pressures and affordability will dominate as federal funding cuts threaten safety net programs.
- Notably, Newsom has championed transitional kindergarten and expanded child care slots, building on earlier public-funded pre-K growth of about 50,000 children, while using prerecorded speeches and statewide tours due to his dyslexia.
- The address follows unanswered federal funding requests as Newsom seeks billions for Los Angeles-area fire recovery, while the state has sued the Trump administration more than 50 times.
- Looking ahead, Newsom's final address comes a day after the Los Angeles-area fires killed 31 people, with a projected doubling of the budget shortfall next year.
