I asked Republican candidate for California Governor Brian Dahle:

1. How would you solve the crime problem in California?

"By getting rid of the revolving door in California. When there's no punishment of criminals, crime skyrockets. This is not really surprising.” He added, “We were sold Proposition 47 as "the Safe Schools and Neighborhood Act.” But releasing criminals early did not make neighborhoods safer. “We have seen a 40% increase in murder in California in two years, since the release mandated by Proposition 47.”

2. What is the solution to California's water problem?

“There's plenty of Water in California, but we don't manage it right.” He said the problem is “political dysfunction.” Proposition One, approved in 2014, appropriated $2.7 million to build a water system at the Sites Reservoir in Colusa County. This project is fully funded. “It’s close to the Delta,” Dahle explained. “We could help the environment as well as municipalities and farmers. But we can't get it permitted.” He added, “We need to break this logjam.”

3. Fires in the part of the state you represent are a problem. How do we mitigate this problem?

“There are millions of acres of forest that we need to treat,” Dahle said. “The forest used to burn naturally every ten years. We stopped that cycle, and now our forest is overgrown with brush and small tress. When fire comes, we need to have already thinned it out. This is basic forest management.” He warned that if forests are not managed, “We will continue to lose our forest to these fires.”

4. What can be done about homelessness?

“The biggest challenge for homelessness is addiction...

Lots of common sense observations. But as a Republican, he has an uphill battle.

As a former Californian until just recently, he has zero chance as the Democrats have changed the voting system and voting laws and they count the ballots.

As such, by Definition and History, it is a fraudulent system.

Boy that's an understatement. There hasn't been a Republican governor since Ah-nuld has there? Frankly, I don't know if we'll see another one ever. Most people with any sense are fleeing the state and the remaining elite in the Silicon Valley and LA area enclaves don't seem Republican inclined.

Unfortunately many of the people who would vote for Dahl have left the state.

as an L A Republican i’ll vote for him - interesting that in 2008 Gav promised he would eradicate homelessness in 10 yrs. how’s that working out??? Gav has failed on fire water electricity lockdowns - a 100% score of failure on all issues - but the idiots here vote for the D, not the record. i don’t wonder, i KNOW the inmates are in control of this asylum.

This explains why Brian Dahle faces such an uphill fight:

The Curley Effect in California

Stockholm syndrome

[Deplorable American1776]

If California elected Mr. Dahle as Governor, Zelden gets elected in New York and Stefenowski in Connecticut, it would be a very LONG NIGHT for the Dems...

[DoughtyOne]

We’ll be fortunate to even have a Republican on the ballot at
all, much less win the election.

They’ve really gamed our primary system out here.

2. What is the solution to California's water problem?

If they haven't figured it out yet, they live next to a frickin' OCEAN.

Now just how do you suppose you’re going to convince Los Angeles, City and County of, to build a desalination plant to provide their water needs when they have so much political clout in the state of California they can just steal all the water they want from everywhere else?
