2022 CA Governor's race: on Principles & Values

Brian Dahle: I pledge to tell you the truth, restore power, work hard

TELL YOU THE TRUTH: It's time we know the truth about why Sacramento is failing and what can be done to fix it and turn this state around.
RESTORE THE POWER TO THE PEOPLE: One party has ruled over California for 25 years. It's time for a change. I will restore power to the people and common sense to Sacramento.
WORK HARD FOR YOU: It's time to hold Sacramento accountable for the crushing regulations and wasteful spending. No more excuses, we will get results.

Brian Dahle: On 2020 election: Yes, Biden is our president

Dahle refused to answer directly when The Los Angeles Times asked him in a May article whether Biden was legitimately elected, saying only that Biden is "our president." In late April, the website CalMatters reported that Dahle "notably did not affirm the 2020 election results, even after CalMatters pushed his team to clarify Dahle's position on Trump's conspiracy theory about widespread voting fraud. In a TV interview a day later, he said: 'Joe Biden is our president, no doubt.'" Source: CNN on 2020 Election Denial in 2022 California Governor race Sep 9, 2022

Eleni Kounalakis: Trump motivated me to run for office, defend democracy

There's no question that Trump was a motivating factor for me to run for lieutenant governor. It takes courage to run for office. I don't know that I had the courage to do it before Donald Trump, but I certainly knew immediately after that I would do whatever it took to do whatever it took to help my country and the vision of American democracy that we have worked so hard to perpetuate in the world, that it was time to fight for it here at home.
