Bankruptcy, Crime & Homelessness: A Bold Plan to Save California

What would it actually take to turn California around?

In this clip, former California candidate Elaine Culotti lays out her vision for tackling some of the state's biggest challenges, including homelessness, crime, government spending, unfunded mandates, and the growing influence of NGOs and special interests.

From municipal bankruptcy and local tax reform to public safety and housing policies, Culotti argues that California's problems aren't caused by a lack of money—but by how that money is being spent and managed.

The conversation also explores why some voters feel disconnected from state leadership, whether government accountability is possible, and what reforms supporters believe could help restore trust in public institutions.
