building a better bay area moving forward finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. four weeks from today is election day and tonight. we're hearing from the republican state senator for lassen county who is hoping to unseat governor gavin newsom. good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley and i'm a dates state senator. brian dalley is confident. he has a shot to beat governor newsom who is seeking his second term abc 7 news anchor at liz kroyd spoke with dolly today and is in the newsroom with the latest on what he had to say list. hi, dan and alma. yes dally is trailing newsome by 20 points according to a new poll, but that's what happens in the state that so largely dominated by democrats. still republicans. say senator. brian dalley says, it's time to change that. he says he's the best candidate

for the state's top spot now whether or not he can get there. we'll be a very very steep uphill battle. this is state senator. brian dalley california's republican gubernatorial candidate if his name doesn't ring a bell you're not alone with four weeks to go until election day a recent poll found more than half of california voters are not familiar with the man challenging governor gavin newsom in his campaign for re-election. it's gonna be a tough race. no doubt. we're down to the wire such as the life in a state where democrats outnumber republicans two to one dally a farmer from lassen county recently had his face and name carved into a giant corn maze in shasta county. he's doing anything he can to increase his name recognition is this even winnable it is we're seeing a lot of independence and democrats coming over to the republican party people who are on fixed in comes or hourly wage earners and latinos are really moving towards republicans and just want some balance in california. we see not in the polls what we've also seen in the polls is a bleak outlook for dally the

recent berkeley institute of governmental studies poll shows him trailing governor newsome by 20 points. but dally who calls new summon out of touch elitist is diligently trying to get out his message focused on public safety and combating inflation day. one is governor. what do you do? number one? i want to drive down the cost of energy in california. that's the fastest way to stop inflation. so i will open up the 1200 oil wells that are waiting at the desk of gavin newsom on some of the more divisive issues. into the state constitution. he says he does not support the state's plan to ban the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035. he also does not believe that kids should be taught about multiple gender identities in schools. these positions are all in stark contrast to governor newsom yet instead of challenging dally on these issues in recent months newsome has been targeting republicans and other states. so it feels like governor newsome right now is really

running a campaign more against the governor of florida governor desantis, then he is against you. yeah. well he doesn't want to talk about what's happening in california. he's running for president. there's no doubt about it. newsome has denied he's running for president and recently told reporters. he isn't taking his commanding lead in the governor's race for granted. i take nothing for granted. i've been all over the state of california. we are focused on the issues that people care about now governor newsom and state senator dally are set for a debate the one and only debate. they've agreed to it will be on public radio kqed at 1 pm on sunday, october 23rd. and even that is another sign of how non-competitive this races that sold debate is at the same time as nfl football games and mlb playoffs in the newsroom. list quotes abc 7 news. okay. there you go liz. thanks very much today. san francisco opened its voting center at city hall. this morning's opening comes four weeks ahead of election day. it means any eligible city resident. can you city hall as a universal polling place to drop off
