Angelique Ashby’s corruption scandal and racist policy (and why you should vote for Dave Jones)

Today we're discussing a very important election in California's District 8 state Senate race.

In particular, we're looking at how awful of a candidate Angelique Ashby is proving herself to be:

Just this week Ashby found herself facing a corruption scandal for gifting city-owned Roger Waters tickets to union leadersin what appears to be a bid for their favor in her race.
Ashby fashions herself a feminist, but has a peculiar history of not supporting Black women running for office.
When a woman came forward saying that former Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson had sexually abused her as a child, Angelique kept quiet. And when more allegations rolled in? Crickets.

We also discuss Ashby's opponent, Dave Jones, and why he is the one fit for the Senate job.

Unlike Ashby, Jones doesn't have Big Oil spending millions in the race. He's also endorsed by Planned Parenthood, and has a proven record of working to find housing for unsheltered Sacramentans.

The choice is clear for us.
