Peter Coe Verbica, Candidate for US Congress, CD19
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. & SAN JOSE, Calif. & SANTA CRUZ, Calif. & MONTEREY, Calif. - PennZone -- US. Congressional Candidate Peter Coe Verbica, author of Hard-Won Cowboy Wisdom and a CFP® professional, releases a comprehensive plan outlining 25 federal initiatives to combat California's growing affordability crisis.

Verbica is running for US Congress, California District 19, which includes Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties.

While many of the cost drivers (such as housing, gas, utilities, and insurance) are the result of decades of restrictive state policies, Candidate for Congress Verbica emphasizes that federal lawmakers still have powerful tools to ease the burden on California families and businesses.

"California's affordability crisis is pushing out teachers, nurses, firefighters, small businesses, and young families," states Peter Coe Verbica. "While Sacramento bears responsibility for many of these cost pressures, if elected, I will focus on delivering federal solutions that can provide real relief."

STATE POLICIES AT THE ROOT OF THE CRISIS

US. Congressional Candidate Verbica notes several long-standing California-specific issues that have contributed to the affordability problem:
  • Housing shortages caused by decades of underbuilding and abuse of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA);
  • Gas prices inflated by abnormal fuel blend mandates and layered state taxes;
  • Utility rate hikes driven by wildfire liability and lack of infrastructure modernization;
  • Water scarcity and costs worsened by failure to build new dams or reservoirs in over 50 years, despite voters approving Proposition 1 which allocated $7.5 billion to water infrastructure in 2014;
  • Insurance market instability due to rigid regulatory frameworks like Prop 103;
  • Punitive labor laws such as the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), making it riskier to hire workers;
  • An overall anti-business climate marked by overregulation and litigation threats.

Despite these state-level challenges, Candidate for Congress Verbica lays out 25 actionable federal strategies aimed at reducing costs and improving conditions for California residents:

A FEDERAL PARTNER IN STATEWIDE REFORM

"The cost of living in California shouldn't be a reason to leave," US. Congressional Candidate Verbica adds. "We can't solve everything in Washington, but we can be a strong partner in turning things around. This plan is just the beginning, and we look forward to the very real possibility of working in cooperation with a Republican governor in California."

US. Congressional Candidate Verbica plans to introduce or support legislation aligned with these recommendations, while coordinating with local officials, stakeholders, and agencies to ensure federal support is targeted where it's most needed.

Incumbent politicians had their chance, and they refused to structurally fix social security for current and future generations. They are not the solution; they are part of the problem.  Vote for Peter Verbica for Congress.
