On Tuesday, Governor Gavin Newsom sent a letter to President-elect Joe Biden, outlining his wish list of California-specific policy priorities for the incoming Biden Administration. Specifically, the Governor asked for additional support on housing vouchers to combat homelessness, forest management to reduce wildfire risk, and restoring California's ability to set greenhouse gas standards for cars, which the Trump Administration revoked. On infrastructure, Governor Newsom mentioned water, broadband, housing, renewable energy, schools, and "restoring the federal commitment" to the state's high-speed rail project, which lost nearly $1 billion in federal funding last year.
