We asked @dickclucas why he's running for the state assembly in California:

"The problem is when you lack competition in a system, it becomes ill. You need to compete, there needs to be pressure on the system or it collapses from within. That's what we're seeing in California."

"Fires happened and people didn't even want to hear 'maybe we could have done things better'. I talked to a state senator and you couldn't even really have a discussion about it."
