Brad Garlinghouse lands in Los Angeles ahead of the CLARITY Act deadline

Brad Garlinghouse flew from March Air Reserve Base to Van Nuys Airport on May 26, a 38-minute hop that put Ripple's CEO in the Los Angeles area. The Bombardier Global 6000, N100RP, made the short trip just after midnight, clocking a low-altitude approach at 4,600 feet.

The same week, per [moneycheck.com](https://moneycheck.com/ripple-ceo-brad-garlinghouse-urges-law-to-lock-in-sec-cftc-crypto-framework-rules/) and [coinalertnews.com](https://coinalertnews.com/news/2026/03/27/ripple-ceo-stablecoin-strategy-clarity-act), Garlinghouse is publicly urging Congress to codify SEC-CFTC guidance into law, warning against another "weaponized Gensler moment." He has predicted the CLARITY Act will pass by May's end. The flight positions him closer to policymakers and industry figures ahead of that critical committee deadline.

The flight follows a busy week for N100RP: Miami to New York on May 20, then back to the West Coast. The pattern matches Garlinghouse's known cross-country lobbying and conference circuit. No public appearance in Los Angeles has been confirmed, but the timing aligns with a CEO doing what he said he'd do — stay in the arena until the rules are locked in.
