Meta announced the formation of a super-PAC named Mobilizing Economic Transformation Across California, aimed at supporting state-level candidates from any party who promote AI innovation over restrictive regulations. The tech giant plans to invest tens of millions ahead of the November 2026 gubernatorial election, potentially making it a major political financial player. “Sacramento's regulatory environment could stifle innovation,” warned Meta's VP Brian Rice. The PAC will be led by Rice and Greg Maurer, both public policy executives.
