Chad Bianco: California's Problem Solver
California is in crisis: addiction, homelessness, and crime are spiraling. Can one leader fix it?
In this powerful interview, Sheriff Chad Bianco, candidate for Governor of California, joins host Chad LaComb on The Falling to Freedom Podcast to talk solutions rooted in law enforcement experience, faith, and problem-solving leadership.
With more than 32 years in law enforcement, Bianco explains why the vast majority of crime is tied to drugs, how untreated mental illness fuels homelessness, and why he believes current harm-reduction policies only make things worse. Instead, he lays out his vision for treatment-first, abstinence-centered recovery and why placing offenders in rehab instead of jail could break the cycle of addiction and crime.
Bianco also shares his personal convictions, shaped by family, faith, and integrity, that led him to move from policing into politics. He reflects on the turning point that inspired him to run for governor, the values that guide his leadership, and his commitment to surrounding himself not just with allies but with diverse voices who challenge him.
His message is simple but bold: California’s problems can be solved with truth, accountability, and the courage to lead differently.
This conversation isn’t just about politics, it’s about what it takes to restore a state that so many once came to for opportunity and freedom. Whether you agree or disagree with Bianco, this episode challenges us all to face reality, break destructive cycles, and fight for a better California.
