In this episode, I sit down with Rhonda Shader, Republican candidate for the California State Senate 2026. Our conversation covers many topics, but everything leads back to one key idea—choices.Rhonda believes that a healthy democracy thrives on genuine dialogue and diversity of thought. When one side dominates, we lose the balance that keeps our government accountable. Together we talked about the importance of restoring open discussion in California’s legislature, encouraging debate, and giving voters real options.It’s not about who’s right or wrong—it’s about bringing back the freedom to choose.Episode produced by Michael Abad#PacosPlace #RhondaShader #PacoArespacochaga
