Homelessness, obviously.

And that's the thing, especially for people watching outside of California or even America, there's all the kind of highly visible things that have gone wrong.

People can see the homelessness and the crime and the videos of the retail theft.

All of that is true.

of living here are just a nightmare for regular working people.

And so it really feels to me like all that stuff that people say, oh, a Republican can't win.

It's such a Democrat state.

You're never going to do it.

I just think that's not true.

People are sick of it and they know that we need to change.

And that's what I'm running on.

And so far, so good.

I think that it's a long way to go.
