With his second-place finish in California’s June primary, Northern California Republican state Sen. Brian Dahle won the right to challenge Gov. Gavin Newsom in the Nov. 8 general election
His attempts to seek national attention have stirred speculation that he’s running a not-so-shadow campaign for president, though he denies having any interest in the White House and says he supports President Biden.Dahle is a conservative state senator from the tiny town of Bieber in the northeast corner of California. The 57-year-old legislator was on the Lassen County Board of Supervisors for 16 years before being elected to the California Legislature in 2012.
After high school, college wasn’t an option for Dahle or his three siblings, he said. The family had plenty of farmland but little money. He worked different jobs up and down the state, pulling chains in the local lumber mill, blasting rock to build hydroelectric plants and driving a bulldozer in an open-pit gold mine. He returned to the family farm in his mid-20s.
Then, the pandemic hit, and his administration became consumed with other monumental concerns: preventing sick patients from overrunning hospitals, seeking tests, shutting down businesses to prevent rapid spread of the virus and maintaining the food supply, among countless other critical issues.Winston Churchill has been credited with saying, “Never let a good crisis for to waste.
The climate package included a ban on permits for new oil wells within 3,200 feet of a “sensitive receptor,” defined as a residence, education resource, community resource, healthcare facility, dormitory or any building open to the public. Dahle said that, as a farmer, he sees firsthand that the climate is changing — “there’s no doubt about it.”
“How long are we going to just continue to set targets with no good detail and just throw money at it and get no result?” Dahle said.Newsom supports abortion rights and has tried to redefine the term “pro-life.”
