WILL OF CALIFORNIANS HAS PREVAILED

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 120 (Wednesday, July 22, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 120 (Wednesday, July 22, 2026)] [House] [Page H5028] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] WILL OF CALIFORNIANS HAS PREVAILED (Mr. KILEY of California asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. KILEY of California. A new survey from the Public Policy Institute of California finds that two-thirds of Californians oppose Governor Newsom's ban on gas-powered cars. This ban was imposed by the Governor without so much as a vote in the legislature or the people of California. The good news is that the will of the people has prevailed. I introduced a resolution here in Congress to reverse Governor Newsom's ban on gas cars. It passed this House with strong bipartisan support. It has passed the Senate with bipartisan support, and it was signed into law by the President. This is an important win for sanity in California. Californians can continue to drive the car of their choice, and it is exactly the kind of check and balance against the extreme policies in Sacramento that Californians are asking for. ____________________
