Summary
California’s political system, election rules, and homelessness crisis all connect in one explosive conversation. In this condensed version of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels talks with former California governor candidate and real estate developer Elaine Culotti about ballot harvesting, independent candidates, government spending, and why she believes the state’s incentives protect the status quo. Culotti breaks down how California’s election process works, why No Party Preference voters are overlooked, and how bureaucracy, NGOs, and stalled policy reform may be deepening economic inequality. You’ll hear her views on Gavin Newsom, high-speed rail, homelessness, budget strain, and the political duopoly shaping state leadership.
