Governor Payne’s Priorities for a Stronger, Fairer San Andreas

Governor Isabel Payne believes that government works best when it listens, responds, and builds a future in which every resident has the opportunity to thrive. Her administration is guided by a clear set of priorities rooted in fairness, dignity, and common-sense governance.

These priorities are the foundation of a San Andreas where families can prosper, communities feel safe, and every person—regardless of background—can build a better life.

Strengthening Education for Every Child

A strong state begins with strong public schools. Governor Payne is committed to expanding educational opportunities from early childhood through higher education by:

• Increasing per-pupil funding to ensure every district has the tools they need.

• Supporting teacher recruitment and retention with competitive salaries and robust professional development.

• Expanding access to CTE programs, dual-credit opportunities, and community college pathways.

• Investing in modern school facilities, broadband access, and classroom technology.

Her administration’s goal is simple: every student in San Andreas deserves a world-class education.

Common-Sense Gun Reform to Keep Communities Safe

Governor Payne supports practical, widely supported measures to reduce gun violence while respecting lawful ownership. Her approach includes:

• Universal background checks for all gun purchases.

• Safe storage requirements to protect children and prevent theft.

• Red flag laws that allow courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others.

Her focus is public safety—not partisanship.

Protecting Reproductive Freedom and Civil Rights

San Andreas has long stood for fairness and equality. Governor Payne upholds those values through:

• Protecting reproductive healthcare, including access to abortion and contraception.

• Safeguarding equal marriage rights for LGBTQ+ residents.

• Expanding anti-discrimination protections across employment, housing, and public accommodations.

Under her leadership, the rights of every citizen are recognized and respected—without exception.

Growing the Economy and Supporting Working Families

Governor Payne is focused on building a resilient economy with good-paying jobs and opportunities statewide. Her economic priorities include:

• Supporting small businesses and entrepreneurship across both rural and urban communities.

• Investing in green energy, technology sectors, and sustainable infrastructure projects.

• Expanding apprenticeship and job-training programs.

• Protecting workers’ rights to fair wages and safe workplaces.

A strong economy is one in which everyone can participate.

Affordable Healthcare for All

Healthcare is a right—not a privilege. Governor Payne is working to:

• Lower prescription drug costs through bulk purchasing and price caps.

• Expand public insurance options and subsidies for low- and middle-income families.

• Invest in mental health services, crisis intervention programs, and rural healthcare access.

Her administration is committed to ensuring cost is never a barrier to care.

Holding Insurance Companies Accountable

Governor Payne believes no San Andreas resident should struggle because insurance companies refuse claims, raise premiums unfairly, or exploit loopholes. Her plan includes:

• Strengthening state regulations on rate increases.

• Requiring transparent justification for premium changes.

• Cracking down on predatory practices in health, auto, and homeowners insurance.

Insurance should protect people—not harm them.

Making Housing Affordable and Fair

San Andreas faces a housing affordability crisis. Governor Payne promotes bold, structural solutions such as:

• Tying allowable rent increases to household income and local cost-of-living factors.

• Expanding affordable housing construction with state incentives.

• Supporting first-time homebuyers with down-payment assistance programs.

• Strengthening tenant protections against excessive fees and unfair eviction practices.

Every resident deserves a safe and stable place to call home.

Creating a Foundation of Economic Security

To ensure no one falls behind, Governor Payne supports:

• A Universal Basic Income pilot for low- and middle-income households.

• Expanded childcare subsidies and paid family leave.

• Statewide financial-literacy initiatives to help families build long-term stability.

Economic security is essential to personal freedom and community wellbeing.

Tax Reform That Works for the People

Governor Payne believes the tax system must be fair and reflect the values of the state. Her tax reform agenda:

• Protects working families from paying state income tax when they do not earn enough to save for a secure future.

• Simplifies the tax code for individuals and small businesses.

• Closes loopholes exploited by large corporations and ultra-wealthy taxpayers.

• Ensures state revenue remains stable without shifting burdens onto struggling residents.

Her guiding principle: San Andreas residents should thrive—not just get by.

Criminal Justice Reform That Reflects Fairness and Public Safety

Governor Payne believes the justice system must be fair, proportional, and focused on rehabilitation where appropriate. Her criminal justice priorities include:

• Ensuring penalties genuinely reflect the severity of the crime—not outdated, overly punitive standards.

• Expanding diversion programs, community corrections, and mental-health response systems.

• Increasing accountability for law enforcement while supporting officers with training and resources.

• Addressing racial and economic disparities in sentencing and detention.

Justice should be equitable, humane, and rooted in public safety—not politics.

Strengthening Ethics and Transparency in Government

Governor Payne is committed to restoring public trust by promoting integrity across state government. Her ethics and transparency agenda includes:

• Capping contributions to elected officials, closing the door on personal influence.

• Prohibiting gifts, favors, or anything of material value from lobbyists or special interests.

• Imposing strict reporting and transparency rules on lobbying and political spending.

• Requiring real-time public disclosure of all campaign contributions, PAC activity, and independent expenditures.

Good governance is honest, open, and accountable—and the Payne Administration intends to keep it that way.

A Fairer, Brighter Future for San Andreas

Governor Payne’s priorities reflect her core belief: government must serve the people, protect their rights, and create the conditions for every resident to build a successful life.

Her administration will continue fighting for a San Andreas defined by opportunity, safety, and dignity for all.

A Future Built on Fairness and Opportunity

Governor Payne’s administration is committed to delivering real results and real progress for the people of San Andreas. These priorities reflect her belief that government must be compassionate, responsible, and relentlessly focused on improving lives.

San Andreas thrives when its people thrive—and Governor Payne will continue working every day to make that a reality.
