Folks,

Californians are about to pay hundreds more for electricity next year, while the same utility corporation that burned our towns to the ground continues to enjoy guaranteed profits.

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has killed hundreds of people over the decades with reckless negligence across California. 

These deaths were the direct result of boardroom decisions that put profit above human life, by a corporation that controls the electricity needs for 60% of Californians.

• In 2010, a PG&E gas pipeline exploded in San Bruno, killing 8 people after the company ignored basic safety warnings. 

• In 2017, their equipment sparked fires across the North Bay that killed more than 40 people. 

• And in 2018, faulty PG&E transmission lines ignited the Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California history, killing 85 people and wiping the town of Paradise off the map.

Instead of real consequences, Governor Newsom stepped in with bailouts. 

Taxpayers paid millions to private lawyers to draft laws that protected the company from full liability. 

Now, after all that corruption, we are rewarded with price hikes that funnel billions more to these corporate killers. 

Chip in to fuel a movement that demands consequences for these crimes and the prosecution of corporations that kill our people. A movement that aims to end this monopoly of power once and for all.

The California Public Utilities Commission approves risk-free returns for monopoly utilities while families choose between groceries and heat. 

The governor appoints those commissioners! Every one of these decisions reflects political will, and under Democratic leadership, PG&E has been shielded, rescued, and unleashed to gouge again.

Liberals defend this mess because Gavin Newsom sounds good on television when he yells at Trump. 

But behind the flashy anti-Trump social media grift, Newsom serves as a rubber stamp for a company that killed people and then charged their communities  more to survive. 

Every Democrat in this race promises to double down on that warped continuity. 

We offer a clean break.

As governor, I will break up these monopolies and together, we will move all essential utilities into public ownership. 

I will use the power of the office to appoint commissioners who protect ratepayers rather than corporate profits. 

And I will pursue antitrust enforcement and criminal accountability for executives whose decisions led to death and destruction.

If you are tired of being robbed by monopoly utilities and lied to by politicians who serve them, chip in today and help us win this fight against those who have been getting away with it for far too long.

Peace and Power,

Butch Ware
