Half of Californians now say they'd vote for a Republican Governor. Nearly 70 percent just voted to make crime illegal again. A million new Republicans have registered since Newsom took office.

We are on a path back to sanity in California.

Violent crime in California is 15.4% higher than four years ago. 

Despite this fact, pro-criminal advocates in Sacramento will claim they just need a few more progressive reforms to make it better. 

Tell that to the victims.

Proud to have the support of @KateSanchezCA!

“Californians are struggling under the failed leadership of Sacramento Democrats,” said Assemblymember Kate Sanchez (R-Rancho Santa Margarita). “The Democrats have raised utility rates, increased gas prices and destroyed California’s home insurance market. We need a proven leader with new ideas to turn the tide in the Golden State. We need Sheriff Bianco in Sacramento to fix our cost-of-living crisis and bring our state back from the brink.”
