Travis Allen, candidate for California governor

Episode 4,   May 04, 2018, 10:51 PM

Who is Travis Allen? The Republican Assemblyman from Huntington Beach is running for governor of California as a proud supporter of President Donald Trump.

Allen says his mother’s run for office while he was a kid first introduced him to politics.

In more recent years, much of his family moved away from the Golden State due to its high taxes and unfriendliness to business.

Allen says his love of surfing helped to convince him to stay and head to Sacramento to try and fix the state’s problems.

After Elex Michaelson’s conversation with Allen, he speaks with USC’s Dan Schnur for analysis about the state of the governor’s race.

This is part of a special "The Issue Is..." series where Elex speaks with all of the leading candidates for California governor.
