But Governor Gavin Newsom is pushing back hard with his “Stop the Squeeze” campaign, warning the tax could hurt schools, housing, and public safety. While opponents have raised over $10 million, the pro-Prop 40 side hasn’t reported any funding yet. Complicating matters, two other ballot measures could cancel out the billionaire tax—if one passes, it overrides the other. This high-stakes race could reshape California’s fiscal future.
