Right now, we have no possibility of politics because we have a one-party state.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE

Remember that a civilized nation cannot just have one party; if there were only one party, this would merely be a dictatorship. Politics could not advance.
Well, first, if I am fortunate enough to be elected to the U.S. Senate, it won't be a party that will have elected me. It will be the people of California.
Friends, there is no Left in American politics.
You don't choose a party because it's the flavour of the month. I feel I will be able to work under a political system. I feel if people like me don't enter politics to bring change, who will?

We will face the challenges head on. We will work with both parties, across the aisle, to make our state better.
