The California State Capitol dome illuminated at night

Every policy problem has a moment when it’s still winnable. Most people miss it.

Sometimes that moment is months before the bill has a number. Sometimes it’s days before the vote. Jimmy Fremgen wrote these bills from the committee side — he knows which one you’re in.

Why California

The bill that passes here is the bill that shows up everywhere.

California is the single largest market in the country, and it writes the template that shows up in other states and in Washington. Twenty states have now copied its privacy law, and Congress still hasn’t passed one. Colorado and Utah ran the same play on AI. The bill that passes in Sacramento is the bill that shows up in other capitols two sessions later — and the bill that dies here usually doesn’t travel.

A California fight impacts more than California’s share of your revenue.
