Clips
In this clip you will hear Darren Ellis make his closing argument for why people should vote for him over Cecilia Aguiar-Curry. He delineates everything wrong with California and our current politicians and asks if people can sustain this for a couple more years.
In this clip you will hear Darren talk about his stance on abortion, which is that his priority is not changing California's current law. He believes there should be exceptions, but also restrictions.
In this clip you will hear Darren Ellis talk about green energy mandates and how we need to look at sustainability long-term, but that California wastes too much money on things like a $100 Billion Bullet Train to nowhere, and mandating electric vehicles that should not be electric.
As a former law enforcement official, in this clip you will hear Darren Ellis talk about his nuanced views on the Second Amendment. He is for some #guncontrol measures like closing the #gunshowloophole, and some carefully crafted #redflaglaws, but otherwise a very strong proponent of the Second Amendment and right to own #guns. He is a trained marksman himself
In this clip you will hear Darren Ellis talk about how politicians like Gavin Newsom give nothing but platitudes and make lies by omission, even on the issue about cell phones in schools. They tell voters they are solving problems, when in actuality they are doing nothing.
In this clip you will hear Darren Ellis talk about his views on California's education system and how its priorities are wrong. We need to get back to a meritocracy and focus on equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. Instead of spending millions on football stadiums, we should keep arts and other programs alive.
In this clip you will hear Darren Ellis talk about how violent crime is not actually down, despite the statistics. This is because agencies have stopped reporting violent crime because it is voluntary.
In this clip you will hear Darren Ellis talk about how representatives in the legislature use deceptive words to mislead voters about what's really going on, including how much money they are spending by conflating reducing the budget deficit with the debt.
In this clip you will hear Darren Ellis rant about how the public and media talk about issues that don't matter, like rally crowd size. He says we need to discuss real, tangible issues that face voters.
In this clip you will hear Darren talk about why people are moving out of California and how we can encourage businesses and families to stay here through tax incentives.

In this clip you will hear Darren talk about his restorative justice nonprofit and how it has a zero percent recidivism rate on criminal behavior by addressing the root causes of traumas in people's past.
In this clip you will hear Darren talk about his general thoughts on politics. How it's not left versus right. How most lawmakers law mental capacity, are bought and paid, and are too stupid to understand what they're passing.
In this clip you will hear Darren talk about how he never wanted to run for office and is looking forward to getting back to his life. Being a representative is supposed to be a public service, not a career. He started by voicing his concerns at a public meeting about the failure of our education system, and was recruited to run for office from there.
In this clip you will hear Darren talk about his family, past careers, including his hatred of practicing law, his current Ph.D track in education, and his love for riding motorcycles. How is motorcycle riding like chess? Listen to find out.
TRIGGER WARNING: Darren's interview is filled with bluntness, profanity, and calling politicians stupid. It says Uncensored, but I had to censor some of the profanity, so the video wouldn't get pulled down by Youtube! If Darren wins his race and ends up in the capitol building in Sacramento, it will be like letting a bull into a China Shop.
