State Sen. Kevin de León visited Fresno on Tuesday (Aug. 1) and talked about his bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, a fellow Democrat.
In this edition of Take Five, de León answered questions on these topics:
—  How he would represent the Valley’s interests in the Senate.
— The Donald Trump presidency. De León says Trump “is a clear and present danger” to California and its economic prosperity.
— Why Congress needs to pass its first comprehensive immigration reform legislation since Ronald Reagan was president.
— How clean energy helps American families and the U.S. economy.
— His path to upsetting the centrist Feinstein, who has been in the Senate since 1992.
(Click on the video above for León’s answers.)
