The real question here is, do you understand deeply the numbers?

Because there's a real thing going on here.

We don't have enough optimism and hope around this country and in this state.

And people think that hope is something that descends from on high.

It is not.

The reason I'm optimistic is I'm willing to get into the details and study them and figure out how to get to a good place.

And hope is something that is forged, that is built through work and struggle and attention to detail.

And that's why I'm so optimistic about California.

meeting this affordability challenge, solving this affordability challenge, but more than that, creating a new model for success in the United States.

We are this state that creates the future, but that future has to include everybody.

It has to include every working person, every family here, not just millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires.

This is a state that succeeds, but we succeed together and we are data-driven.

We are hardworking.

We pay attention to detail and we succeed.

That's why I want to be governor.

I would love people to

know try and understand where i'm really coming from and who look to me i have a love affair with california because i love california people that's the truth that's why i'm running for governor i think we're in a crisis where california citizens are not being well treated by their government that's the truth

I want people to understand who I am, how passionate I am to win that fight for them.

But I'm also passionate to represent what we do as a state and how successful we are, how competitive we are, and a story of a different vision of how we go forward into the 21st century.

I think it's absolutely critical that that happened.
