California Has a Candidate Problem (And Nobody Wants to Admit It)

Is California actually ready for change… or just stuck with weak candidates?

In this episode of Common Sense with Chad Law, Chad breaks down the uncomfortable reality behind California politics: it’s not just bad leadership — it’s a collapsed candidate pipeline.

From a British TV personality running for governor…
to a sheriff with baggage…
to a reality star trying to run Los Angeles…

This isn’t a reform movement — it’s a warning sign.

Chad explains:

• Why serious candidates aren’t stepping forward
• How the Republican Party abandoned California
• Why celebrity candidates keep rising
• And what it really takes to fix a broken political system

If voters are frustrated… but no strong leaders emerge… what happens next?
