California State Representative James Gallagher, who serves as the Assembly Republican Leader and represents communities in Butte, Glenn, Placer, Sutter, Tehama, and Yuba counties, addressed regulatory issues impacting farmers and criticized Democratic politicians’ handling of state resources in a series of posts on April 2, 2026.
On April 2 at 02:50 UTC, Gallagher highlighted the importance of a specific policy issue for media scrutiny. He stated: “Yes this is the issue that every reporter should be asking about.”
Later that day at 15:10 UTC, he questioned potential reforms to regulations affecting agriculture and transportation. Gallagher wrote: “What regulations would they cut to help farmers?
Would they reform Truck & Bus rule and let us keep our trucks?
Reform Ag overtime that results in higher costs and less pay for farm workers?
Take gas and diesel out of Cap & Tax program?
Would they call to suspend SGMA”
In another post on April 2 at 17:08 UTC, Gallagher criticized ongoing government spending practices. He said: “It’s truly sad. Billions are wasted every year and the Democratic politicians ignore it and keep feeding the beast.
It doesn’t have to be this way.”
