"We spent $24 billion at the state, along with billions more from the counties and the cities throughout the state, and homelessness went on," he said. "We cannot be afraid to look in the mirror."
"My Republican colleague Chad Bianco is not here tonight to face these Democrats or his record in 2020, during the Black Lives Matter riots,"
"took a knee when told to by BLM, now he says he was praying,"
"Chad Bianco has got more baggage than LAX."
Governor Gavin Newsom, barred from running for reelection, faced sharp criticism from candidates over his record on homelessness and policy choices. Six Democrats and one Republican targeted state spending on homelessness, efforts to ban sales of new gas-powered cars, and opposition to an anti-crime ballot measure. Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa cited $24 billion in state spending and urged accountability. Republican Steve Hilton assailed rival Chad Bianco's 2020 record and urged him to withdraw, accusing him of inconsistent behavior during Black Lives Matter protests. The event occurred in San Francisco and was co-sponsored by the nonprofit Black Action Alliance; Bianco cited a scheduling conflict for his absence.
