"Unless Richard Grenell runs for governor, I don't think Democrats need to worry about a Republican candidate winning in November. It would be nice if we had an election with some real competition between the political parties and where the candidates are aggressively challenged and the winner is the person who provides our state with the greatest opportunities for success. For me, if a candidate has a proven track record of success, a list of commonsense and actionable solutions and the courage to do what they say they are going to do, then we shouldn't care what letter is next to their name. Unfortunately, this is not how the game is played in California, where only one team gets to play."
"Red states consistently show a higher overall firearm mortality rate per 100,000 population than blue states. States with the highest total rates of gun-related deaths - including murders and suicides - are often red states like Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, while the lowest rates include blue states like Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Red states had higher COVID-19 death rates in 2021 compared to blue states."
California electoral politics often lack meaningful inter-party competition, resulting in one dominant party and limited choices for voters. Voter priorities include proven records, commonsense solutions, and the willingness to act on promises rather than party labels. Public-health data indicate significant disparities between red and blue states: higher firearm mortality, greater COVID-19 deaths since vaccines became available, and lower life expectancy are more common in red states. These health differences correlate with political geography and vaccination rates. The penny has been removed due to inflation, prompting calls to eliminate other low-value coins such as the nickel to streamline currency.
