Brian Dahle: Republican Candidate for California Governor

California State Senator Brian Dahle is the Republican candidate for governor. He is making his first visit to The Commonwealth Club to discuss his proposals and plans for leading the largest state in the country.

A longtime advocate of building a better business climate in California, Brian Dahle was the California Chamber of Commerce’s top-rated senator for pro-business votes in 2021 and has a 100 percent rating from the National Federation of Independent Business. He was chosen by his peers in 2017 to be the Assembly Republican leader, leading the caucus until after the 2018 elections, when he stepped down as leader to run in a special election to fill a vacant seat in the 1st Senate District. Before joining the legislature, Dahle served on the Lassen County Board of Supervisors for 16 years.

Please join us as Senator Dahle explains his commitment to California and his plans to address a range of key state issues, including cost of living, crime, homelessness, water, education, energy independence, wildfires, housing, drugs and more.

Mr. Dahle addresses the real issues in California. May he win victorious, for CA needs new leaders, who can restore our state into once a Golden State again. Without the farmers, without the proper water system reservoir needed, and many other issues, like homeless, violence crimes, shortage in housing, especially rentals, high taxes, yet, plenty of waste fundings are unaccountable. We are ready for changes.

[BrandonJ]

Most sense I’ve heard from anyone running for California governor in many years, you got my vote sir! There’s hope for Californians in the future, if he wins.

We need a leader that can clean out the corruption of California, this place is over taxed

[johnwallace]

You have my vote and my wife's and two daughters and my son.

[josephpuderer]

Do you also know that California has a substantial surplus of money. Most of it came from over taxation. We pay too much taxes in California.

[patriciaspivey]

I am a democrat but plan to vote for Dahle because I agree with him on (almost) all he is saying. Especially how many issues have money thrown at them and nothing improves, no accountability. Newsom is a wimp and a hippocrite. This is a moderate choice and we need balance. Costs are too high for everything. Problems are not being solved.

[Jm-zk]

This man is not a politician; he’s a true leader! He says it as it is, especially with regard to teachers union. I like his “take me or leave me” attitude.

[sallylara]

I believe God has a plan for us to strive and be the BEST running and living state there is. People around the world WILL hear great wonderful things about us. Mark my words!!

[papirojo]

That KQED hosted debate was a joke. Do they not have non partisan moderators over there? Mr Dahle was only supposed to debate Newsom, not Newsom and moderators. Sheesh.
