(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) Oct 17, 2022 — Today Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) released the following statement in response to Governor Gavin Newsom’s announcement that the COVID-19 State of Emergency will end on February 28, 2023, nearly three full years after it started:

“It is past time to end the State of Emergency and focus on the enormous hardships Californians are facing in their daily lives: soaring gas and grocery prices, surging crime, and a homelessness problem that gets worse by the day.”

Over the past three years Governor Newsom has issued nearly 600 directives via executive order under this State of Emergency. Assemblyman Kiley twice authored legislation, ACR 196 in 2020 and ACR 46 in 2021, to end the State of Emergency and restore the separation of powers.

Assemblyman Kevin Kiley represents the 6^th Assembly District, which includes the Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado County communities of Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Loomis, Orangevale, Penryn, Rocklin, Roseville, and Sheridan.
