Cost of Living and Economic Development

Californians have been victims of corporate greed – whether filling up their tanks at the gas station, on their utility bills, or in what they pay for basic necessities like garbage pickup. David was a leader in calling out Recology’s corrupt monopoly on San Francisco’s trash pickup services that overcharged residents. He won’t shy away from taking on big oil companies, PG&E, and any other corporations who are taking advantage of our residents.

 

Small businesses have been hit the hardest since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to sky-high costs of living for too many Californians. David wants to support small businesses by working closely with state resources like the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz). For the most impacted businesses, like those with limited English proficiency, David plans to work closely with the Director of GoBiz to leverage more institutional and direct support.
