Can you tell me about the current state of politics in California, and some of the major policies shaping the state?
<|assistant|>
California politics has been dominated by liberal policies in recent years. The current governor, Gavin Newsom, has enacted policies to combat the effects of climate change, such as a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags, and to increase the minimum wage. He has also pushed for more funding for public education and for the implementation of more gun control measures. Other major issues being addressed in the state are healthcare and immigration reform.
