Payam Javan: Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is leading efforts to reverse Prop 47, a 2012 ballot measure reclassifying certain felonies as misdemeanors, which he believes has exacerbated California’s crime crisis and homelessness.

Bianco criticized Governor Gavin Newsom’s leadership and argued that Prop 47’s unintended consequences have fueled crime, homelessness, and drug addiction. He advocates for jail time for repeat offenders while offering help to those willing to address their drug addiction.

Bianco slammed politicians for defending Prop 47 despite its failures and called for accountability. He warned that without decisive action, California will spiral further into crime, drug abuse, and lawlessness.
