De León Is Progressive Alternative to Feinstein in Senate Race
Share
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.
