At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, then-White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci joined state and local health authorities to hold powerful sway over Americans’ daily affairs and quality of life. Across the country, the men and women issuing virus-related guidelines and mandates were appointed by the president, city mayors, or county governments — not elected by the voters.
Unelected officials have similar sway in California, which, if an independent country, would be the world’s fifth-largest economy. The Golden State’s quality of life is greatly affected by the edicts of powerful environmental and ecological government organizations such as the California Air Resources Board and the California Coastal Commission.
While both bodies issue enforceable mandates under governmental authority, their members are selected by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA).
