It doesn't matter who you voted for.
Greater California begins as pure state pride - everyone who loves CA is in.
Why is California Greater?
4th Largest Global Economy
The STATE of California has over $4T GDP, ahead of India, UK and Japan–and why our hats say 4TH
#1 in US Manufacturing
California leads all US states with $300B+ output, 1.2M+ jobs, representing 11% of the state's GDP. When sh*t hits the fan and products stop flowing, CA's got your back
California Feeds America
Over 1/3 of US's vegetables and over 3/4 of fruits and nuts are grown in CA
#1 Donor State $$$
By far! California sends $83 billion more to the Federal govt than it receives back–and why we're "Bankrolling the USA"
America's Immigration Gateway
CA leads all states with 27% foreign-born residents who power our workforce and pay $120B+ in taxes annually. Without immigrants, America stops.
Cultural + Tech Birthplace
CA gave us Hollywood, Silicon Valley + is the growth epicenter for internet and AI-and we have more patents than any other state
Renewable Energy Leader
#1 in US solar (30% of state electricity), #1 in EVs and chargers, WORLD's largest economy running on 67% renewable energy
One Big Beautiful State
~40 million residents in 163,696 square miles, largest state by population and third-largest by area
Largest State Park System
279 public parks, 1.6M+ acres protected for all, forever
Global Imports Flow Through CA
California handles 40% of US container imports
Most Fortune 500 companies
53 of 500: Over 10% of America's biggest companies call CA home. That's not a coincidence
All that, and it's breathtakingly beautiful.
Still, there's work to be done.
We're not saying CA's perfect-there's just a lot to be proud of. More on that soon.
For now, we start with the hat, made in CA by residents of CA who are paying taxes in CA.
