Some of the best Governor Candidate Statements from the latest California election mailer. The candidates Ryan Routh and Cole Allen presumably support.

LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott | NO PARTY PREFERENCE

spoilerMy Legal Name LivingForGod Means: Living A Life Reflecting The Good Character of Jesus Christ; it is my foundation, my operating system, and compass. As a chaplain it is my opinion that any success built on the foundation of deceit and corruption is like building a castle on the sand. So when the storm screams against the windshield, I will not flinch! When it comes to the kind of turbulence that brings planes down, I will be the pilot who punches through the storm so the passengers (You the People) can breathe again. As a successful business man I built Big Time Pest Control from the ground up, then sold it trading upper management to serve as a chaplain, in the trenches, kneeling hand-in-hand, with the forgotten, and the broken. My heritage is a map of U.S. American grit, stretching from Samuel Fuller, the Doctor of the Mayflower to the lightning rod of Ben Franklin. But I'm not looking back—I'm looking forward to all of California, where people are feeling abandoned and betrayed! I have a plan to STOP illegal ICE operations; and a chaplain's heart to remember who the system serves. I'm 100% against the miles-driven tax. To Make California Great Again, PROTECT THE PEOPLE! As the old parties are debating the heat over who bought the matches, while the dumpster fire burns; I'm handing you a fire extinguisher! That's why I am the best choice for Governor of California. • www.DeMottForGovernor.com

The Zionist anti-imperialist:

Margaret Trowe | NO QUALIFIED PARTY PREFERENCE

spoilerMargaret Trowe, five-decade member of Socialist Workers Party, is a hotel housekeeper, member of UNITE-HERE union. Organized solidarity, joined strikes of hotel, school, hospital workers. Calls for union-backed fight for amnesty for undocumented workers to build working-class unity. Longtime fighter against racism, for women's rights and against Washington's wars, from Vietnam to Venezuela. Defends Israel's right to exist and defend itself. Stands against rising Jew-hatred. A supporter of the Cuban Revolution that brought working people to power. Says "U.S. Hands off Cuba! End U.S. Economic Blockade of Cuba!" Defends free speech, due process, other Constitutional protections. Campaigns for need for workers to take political power—the only solution to world capitalist economic, political, and moral crisis and the only way to stop the capitalist rulers' march to World War III.

The anti-wifi landlord:

Naomi Bar-Lev | NO QUALIFIED PARTY PREFERENCE

spoilerThe party system has definitively failed us. Media's incomplete reporting, unforgivable. My background includes a BA in Economics, UCLA, real estate broker for 20 plus years, construction experience, vice president, managing hundreds of loan officers and agents, to a robust Airbnb business. Improvements were made to my property to double the business's income, the very year vandalism and espionage against me began. Survival of continued attacks has enlightened me! I wrote a primer about the tyranny that has taken over, its explosive corruption, its use of police, the courts, technology, corporatism (https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-bar-lev-56b894346). Big tech partnerships now are violating civil and consumer rights as well as anti-trust law. At the center are fusion centers, hubs of information and military grade technology—6 centers statewide run by “local police”. They have connected all devices, espionage made possible against the individual and business, which has transformed the courts. I am no friend to politicians. As governor, fusion centers will be for serious investigations of fraud, theft, and waste, a healthy revenue source with a leaner budget. Police will return to neighborhoods, fighting crime, taking reports equally among citizens, using a constitutionally compliant database. Phones and devices will be recalled, past services refunded, phone, alarm systems, wifi . . . “Partnerships” and non-disclosure agreements in government will be eliminated. A hiring spree to stock consumer and civil rights agencies, local and state leaders replaced by public servants. No sales, income, or property tax. Parking fees and permit fees will be eliminated.

There are significantly fewer candidates for the lower offices, which makes me think that we could easily field a meme candidate for Attorney General someday.

I like how they had to put a disclaimer reminding voters these were not the opinions of anyone but the candidate.

For many of these candidates, that might be literally true. The 2018 gubernatorial election has a guy who got exactly one vote.
