Episode notes
California voters: this episode is for you. You do not have to love Republicans, agree with MAGA, or abandon your values to admit that California is not working for millions of people right now. Today I make a sincere appeal to Democrat and independent voters to reconsider the policies, and leadership, that have shaped California for decades. We talk affordability, homelessness, crime, government accountability, and the question every voter should ask before June 2nd: Are the people in power actually delivering results?
