Fauci the expert with no research...lol by the ring in his nose.
I'm thinking local. No way I could win anything in Los Angeles, Newsom and dems have that city completely corrupted and rigged.
Local politics is a good choice, especially if you have little or no experience with being a political candidate. Have you considered running for a position on your school district's school board? One of the perks of running for your local school board is that your campaign expenses can be nearly nothing or very little compared to other political offices.
Many years ago, I attended Oregon's Labor Candidate School. Students learn how to run successful political campaigns. One major key is understanding how to raise money to pay for a political campaign.
As best as I can tell, California does not currently have a labor candidate school, but they do have several alternatives, some which are not labor union sponsored.
