Republican academic and policy advisor Lanhee Chen launched a statewide bid for California controller Tuesday in hopes to end one-party rule in Sacramento.
“We’re not going to change California by recycling the same old tired politicians from one job to another,” Chen said in his first official campaign ad, highlighting problems plaguing the state which have led many to flee in a major exodus. “I think the promise of California is still out there, but we’re going to have to start fixing our problems soon for us to make sure that the California I see is as bright and promising as the one that led my parents to move here 35 years ago.”
