I've taken on three times at the ballot powerful corporate interests and beaten them.
I've registered 1.2 million young Californians.
My wife and I have started a nonprofit community bank to lend money to the people that the commercial banks won't lend to because they're redlining.
We've worked really hard to get a coalition to push free breakfast and free lunch for every school kid in California.
We've had 20 people working for 11 years in Sacramento on every progressive legislation in this state.
I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.
Look, let me say this.
Do I think that we need campaign finance reform?
Of course I do.
The only person who is standing up to these corporate special interests is me.
Should there be a cap?
Look, it's a much more complicated question than just one thing.
But it's clear, really, the question here is, I'm the only billionaire on the ballot, but I'm not the only billionaire in this race.
Billionaires are giving money right now to all the other candidates.
Billionaires are putting money in independent expenditures to fight me.
I'm the one person who's pushing to tax billionaires like me more.
The only person.
No one else is standing up for that in this race, including Steve Hilton and including Javier Becerra.
Let's talk more about California.
A lot of people feel like California is failing, and some people blame it on the over-representation of Democrats.
