Additional comment from candidate:
I believe I am the only Republican that can win the election in November because of my polling that support equal 35% v 32% with Kamala Harris the favored Democrat. This is because of my name recognition from running for State Treasurer both in 2002 and 2014 and the fact that I filed a Candidate Statement in the Secretary of State Voter Guide that explains my qualifications and experience that two of the other major Republicans did not do.
