Chad Bianco, one of the two leading Republicans running for Governor of California, has been sued because he campaigns in his uniform. The plaintiff is another gubernatorial candidate, Stephen Cloobeck, a Democrat. The case was filed in August but was not served until October. A hearing has been set for January 2026. Cloobeck v Bianco, Riverside County Superior Court, cvri 2505068.
California has a law saying that government employees who are running for public office must not wear their official uniform while campaigning.
OK IN CA TO CAMPAIGN IN A PRISONER UNIFORM ???
What a dumb law!
Isn’t it interesting that one of the also-ran’s filed this complaint, rather than one of the 4 or 5 main Democratic candidates.
The law should be repealed.
