I am. Californians really feel frustrated. They feel picked on.

I’m taking responsibility for this situation, and I’m also not going to back down from fighting back for California, from being tough.

I’m going to hold myself to that standard, to do better and to acknowledge that I fell short.

Running a race like this isn't easy, and coming up short is hard, but democracy is worth doing hard things for.
