California is now ranked as the 2nd most dangerous state in the USA. Enough is enough. I'm endorsing @MichaelGatesESQ for Attorney General – our only hope to save the Golden State from its death spiral into chaos. The study by Consumer Affairs cites an average of 4.9 violent crimes & 20.78 property crimes per 1,000 residents. Michael knows what needs to be done to fix it and he's been doing it for as long as I've known him. During the COVID pandemic, Gavin Newsom sent armed troopers and bulldozers to shut down the beautiful beaches of Huntington Beach – so Michael sued him. When Sacramento pushed its parental secrecy law AB 1955, which "restricted schools from notifying parents about issues involving their children's gender identity," Michael sued on 14th Amendment grounds – and won. Michael tells me that his opponent Rob Bonta "made California absolutely lawless. He's not enforcing our criminal laws." "When we have law and order, we can enjoy the freedoms that society has to offer. Our businesses can thrive. Our families can thrive. Our kids can thrive in school," Michael says. "Enforcing the law and having law and order is, frankly, the most compassionate thing you can do." "We're going to make crime illegal again in California." After the shocking loss of @SpencerPratt in the Los Angeles mayoral primary, despite his overwhelming popularity, many Californians are concerned about vote-rigging and election integrity. Gates draws upon his experience litigating election cases and agrees there is a "certain amount" of fraud in the state – but there's one way to ensure cheaters won't win. "It's just up to the voters to go out and actually outpace the fraud – exceed the fraud," he explains. "We have got to go out and make it too big to rig." The great state of California is worth fighting for. Vote @MichaelGatesESQ for AG.
