Pro Tem Elect Monique Limón's Statement on the California State Budget

(SACRAMENTO) – Senator Monique Limón released the following statement regarding the passage of the 2025-26 California State Budget. 

"Today the California State Legislature moved to finalize the 2025-26 State Budget. As the Governor, Pro Tem McGuire, and Speaker Rivas have said, our State Budget has been severely impacted by federal policies that have further affected an already difficult budget. Unfortunately that means we have made incredibly hard decisions in order to address affordability, defend core programs, and reject cuts to our institutions that support all Californians.

“This budget maintains funding to our higher education institutions, housing programs, critical reproductive health care services, and child care system, while expanding funding to support a year-round CALFIRE fighting force. While this budget gets us to the next step in the process, the work must continue to safeguard California’s values.”
