After a decade in the GOP minority in Sacramento, the state senator says he knows how to reach across the aisle to pass legislation — inviting colleagues to his seed farm in Lassen County and bringing peaches from a neighbor.
Like many Republican candidates this election, Dahle is focused on. He said that, if political reality was no obstacle, his primary goal as governor would be to “get violent criminals off our streets and back off our streets and get repeat criminals off our streets.” That requires more funding for local law enforcement agencies, he said, which have taken on a greater share of the burden over the past decade as California reduced the population of its overcrowded prisons.
“What I learned in that process was, we don’t hear each other sometimes,” Dahle said. “We have a lot in common if we just would listen and hear each other and spend time together. I think that’s what’s really lacking. And so that’s been something that I’ve picked up that has really changed my outlook on how to legislate.”
While it was a “great law” in its original intent, Dahle said, “unfortunately, it’s turned into a pawn in many schemes,” misused by rival companies, labor unions and neighborhood groups to hold up projects they don’t like.
