Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation declaring November 11, 2025, as “Veterans Day.”
|
On Veterans Day, we thank those who served in the U.S. military, putting their lives on hold to protect our freedoms and way of life. They served because they believe in our democracy and the American promise. Following are excerpts from Governor Newsom's proclamation:
- Today, approximately 1.5 million veterans reside in California.
- California has enacted a new law that allows veterans to exclude up to $20,000 of their military retirement income from state income tax.
- In 2024, voters approved Proposition 1, allocating $1 billion to support housing for veterans with mental and behavioral health needs.
- Through the Homekey+ program, projects are already underway to provide homes, stability and hope, as California leads the nation in reducing veteran homelessness.
- California leans in for further assistance to Veterans.

HISTORICAL ELECTORAL VICTORIES
BY WOMEN DEMOCRATS & PROGRESSIVES
|
All across the country, Democrats won big, from the marquee races to the down-ballot contests. Counties that had shifted right a year ago veered back to the left, and the suburbs that powered Democrats’ massive wins in the first Trump administration came roaring back. Exit polls even showed Democrats improved their margins with non-college educated voters.
