California State Controller Malia Cohen has officially launched her bid for reelection, highlighting her commitment to transparency, accountability, and equity in state finances. In a social media video announcement last week, Cohen outlined her priorities for ensuring every Californian benefits from the state’s economic growth.

Cohen’s platform emphasizes policies she says are aimed at improving residents’ lives, including affordable housing, retirement security, health care access, reproductive rights, equal protection under the law, and environmental sustainability.

“It’s official: I’m running for reelection as your State Controller! Together we’ve made California’s finances more transparent, accountable, and equitable. Let’s keep building on that progress,” Cohen said in her social media post. She stressed that California’s budget “isn’t just numbers on a page — it’s a roadmap for our future,” pledging to continue ensuring every dollar is invested wisely.

Cohen highlighted her top priorities, which include addressing California’s housing crisis, ensuring retirement security, and building an economy that works for all Californians. She also emphasized expanding affordable health care, protecting reproductive access, upholding equal rights, and taking action to protect the environment. Each issue, she said, is part of a broader effort to strengthen communities across the state.

“I’m running for reelection to keep driving transparency, efficiency, and fairness so that every Californian can share in our state’s prosperity,” Cohen added.
