Note sull'episodio
Chad Bianco is Sheriff of Riverside County, and he just became the most prominent conservative figure to enter the race for Governor of California in 2026. Why is he running, what are his views, and does he stand a real chance as a conservative? And why should we care about an election that is still over a year away? I’m your host Tess Abraham, and we will be diving into the state of the 2026 California Governor’s Race, as well as the policies that Sheriff Bianco is promoting in his campaign, on this week’s episode of The California Conversation!
