"“It is impossible for me to keep my county safe because of politics. It is impossible for me to run my jails correctly because of politics. It is impossible for me to prosecute someone to the fullest extent of the law because of politics,” Bianco said. “Politics is destroying the state of California - and unfortunately for the Democrat Party, they are 100% to blame.”"
"Part of Bianco's prescription for turning California around: cracking down on theft and drug offenses, stiffening sentences for both petty and violent crime, building more detention facilities, collaborating with federal immigration forces to deport immigrant offenders, and demanding greater personal accountability from homeless people suffering from mental illness and drug addiction."
"The stout, mustached Republican is running an unapologetic campaign against the “Democrat policies that have destroyed this state,” launching into angry diatribes about, as he sees it, the left's failed record in California in debate after debate, on social media and in news interviews, during which where he often accuses the media of being complicit."
"Bianco said he is sick of what he calls soft-on-crime Democrats in Sacramento undermining him and other law enforcement leaders across the state, whom he wants to unleash if given the power."
Chad Bianco’s campaign for California governor centers on his years as Riverside County sheriff, drawing support from voters seeking a tougher approach to crime and criticism from those who view him as far-right and hostile to the rule of law. He attacks “Democrat policies” and repeatedly cites the left’s record in California, often accusing the media of complicity. Bianco calls for cracking down on theft and drug offenses, stiffening sentences for petty and violent crime, building more detention facilities, and collaborating with federal immigration authorities to deport immigrant offenders. He also demands greater personal accountability from homeless people dealing with mental illness and addiction, arguing politics prevents him from keeping his county safe, running jails correctly, and prosecuting cases fully.
