Reform California is leading a statewide campaign to defeat ALL tax hikes on the November 2026 ballot - while passing three state ballot measures to make it harder for state and local politicians to increase taxes going forward.
“Californians are already forced to pay the highest taxes in the nation and we literally have seen millions of working families flee the high cost of our state – enough is enough,” says CA State Rep. Carl DeMaio, Chairman of Reform California.
Yes on Props 41, 42, & 43 - The Taxpayer Protection Trio!
Prop 41 would make it harder for state and local politicians to impose special taxes on you. Prop 41 requires that all special taxes include audits on all revenues raised and programs funded through the tax to prevent waste, fraud and abuse or diversion of the funds by politicians. Prop 41 also requires that these special taxes adhere to the state's constitutionally-mandated spending limit.
Prop 42 would prohibit state and local politicians from imposing a Savings Tax on Californians. Prop 42 would prohibit politicians from taxing the value of your savings, checking account, 401k, stock portfolio, and current equity in your home. We already pay the highest taxes on income, sales, property, gas and our cars - we don't need a Savings Tax on top of all that!
Prop 43 is known as the Save Prop 13 - Local Taxpayer Protection Initiative. Prop 43 makes it harder for local politicians to raise your taxes by restoring the two-thirds vote requirement on any local tax measures. It also closes loopholes the politicians have created in Prop 13 to violate the property tax caps that voters originally imposed.
Tax Hikes We Must Defeat in 2026
California already has the highest income tax rates in the nation - and Prop 3 would make those high rates PERMANENT and impose a multi-billion hit to struggling taxpayers! If Prop 3 passes, it will backfire by costing our state jobs reducing revenue to the state budget as more high-income residents flee the state.
Prop 40 is deceptively being sold as the "Billioniare's Tax" but it is really the "Everybody's Tax!" Worse, Prop 40 creates the first-in-the-nation Wealth Tax (or Savings Tax) on Californians. Prop 40 allows government to tax the value of your savings, checking account, 401k, stock portfolio, and current equity in your home. If you don't have the cash to pay the Wealth Tax, then you'd be forced to sell some of what you own. Prop 40 contains a provision allowing state politicians to expand the Wealth Tax to everyone without another vote of the public.
In addition to statewide tax hike ballot measures, Reform California has identified over 250 local tax hikes on the November 2026 ballot. Our mission is to defeat all of them!
