CA Democrats are pushing an outrageous new MILEAGE TAX that would tax you 6-9 cents for every mile you drive — that’s an extra $900 per year!
They’re laying the groundwork for this Mileage Tax on every driver through AB 1421 — and if we don’t fight back aggressively, they’ll lie and cheat their way into your pocketbooks.
Join CA State Rep. Carl DeMaio today at NOON for an important briefing on the fight to block the CA Mileage Tax!
How You Can Help Defeat the Mileage Tax
| Polling shows 70% of California voters OPPOSE a Mileage Tax — meaning this is a rare opportunity to win big even in liberal California.But that only happens if we have the resources to mount a serious statewide campaign. |
| Since Friday, over 22,000 voters have already signed our petition opposing the Mileage Tax. Please share it with every friend, neighbor, and contact you have — we are using this petition to build a statewide list of voters who oppose this insane tax so we can mobilize them in 2026. |
| Our Strategy to Block the Mileage Tax |
| STRATEGY #1: FLIP 7 ASSEMBLY SEATS — BREAK THE SUPER-MAJORITYWe will make the Mileage Tax the wedge issue in our target races in 2026.If we flip just 7 seats, we break the Democrats’ Supermajority — and without it, they won’t have the votes to impose a Mileage Tax next year. STRATEGY #2: PASS THE “SAVE PROP 13” INITIATIVE THIS NOVEMBERThis initiative includes key protections to make it harder to impose any Mileage Tax at the local level — but it must pass.Both strategies are winnable — but only if we have the resources to execute. |
| We need YOUR help to win this fight to block the costly and unfair Mileage Tax in 2026! |
