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

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.
