## Summary

Gianno Caldwell says he left Los Angeles in 2020 because he felt the city had become less safe and its problems were worsening during the pandemic. He argues that Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton offers Californians a chance to address these concerns and remain in the state.

Caldwell backs Hilton’s proposals to exempt the first $150,000 of earnings from state income tax, lower petrol prices to $3 a gallon and make housing construction easier. He also supports Hilton’s calls for tougher law enforcement and action on street encampments alongside expanded mental health and addiction treatment. Caldwell contrasts Hilton’s campaigning and policy plans with Democrat Xavier Becerra’s lower profile; the article presents Caldwell’s opinion and endorsement.
