Sheriff Chad Bianco: Standing Up to Gavin Newsom

 Arthur,

Do you remember Christmas 2020?

Gavin Newsom decided to take away your God-given right to gather, open your business, and even attend church. He locked you inside your home.

And he demanded that local law enforcement act as his political muscle to enforce his unconstitutional mandates.

Hell no.

As Sheriff of Riverside County, I swore an oath to protect the rights of Riverside’s 2.5 million residents. So I refused to obey Newsom’s illegal orders. This is the video I recorded at the time announcing my position:

Per my orders, my deputies didn’t arrest people for living their lives.

I took a major risk and a lot of heat for refusing to obey and daring Newsom to stop me. If I could do it again…I wouldn’t change a thing.

Real leadership means doing what’s best for the people — especially when the powers that be want you to do the opposite. I will protect your rights, no matter the cost to me. My stand against the lockdowns is proof:

WATCH NOW

Fighting for you,
Sheriff Chad Bianco
Republican for Governor
