In an entertaining account of his surprisingly strong run for California governor in the 2021 recall election, bestselling author, commentator, and radio host Larry Elder argues that Democrats have systematically failed our country—especially black Americans.

Throughout his years as a popular LA talk radio host, Larry Elder watched California go from bad to worse under a regime of corrupt and ideological liberal management. Rising rates of crime, addiction, homelessness, immigration, and failing schools, skyrocketing energy and housing costs, crushing anti-business regulation, and numerous other problems—all traceable to Democratic policies—made life harder for the average Californian. Then came the COVID lockdowns, school closings, mask and vaccine mandates, the BLM riots, the defund the police movement, and a general breakdown of law and order in San Francisco and LA. People began fleeing the state in droves. In the midst of all this, Governor Gavin Newsom saw fit to drop $12,000 at a trendy French restaurant, sparking outrage throughout the state and leading to demands for a recall. A special election was held, and forty-five candidates jumped in.

Though not personally ambitious for office, Elder was strongly encouraged to run by numerous friends and associates. He performed extremely well, despite having no money or organization, constant sniping from his GOP rivals, and a relentlessly hostile media that absurdly labeled him “the Black face of white supremacy”—which is ironic, since Elder was the only candidate who paid any attention to the social and economic problems of Black people in America.

Now, in As Goes California, Elder tells the story of his lightning campaign and derives from it important lessons on how a new generation of Republican candidates can fight, win, and save our country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, enjoyable read. I love Larry's writing style. Not a written lecture.

I am usually a bit hesitant in getting books on political bent as they can get a bit tedious to read. Larry's writing style puts it up there with other books I read for entertainment. Good information and I really got to learn about the person Larry Elder. Where he came from, how he got to where he is . I found it to be a page turner as I would if reading something from B. V. Larson or Larry Correia.

A really good, enjoyable read. I am really glad I bought it. I've sent some copies to friends as well. Great book.

We have known of Larry Elder for over 20 years. His radio programs were wonderful. He connected the past to the present and was logical when he explained his ideas to save people and our country. His "fatherly" advise to his listeners was always great. Larry Elder as President Trump's vice president in 2024. President Trump and Larry Elder have a country to save!

I wish Larry Eder won the recall election. He provides lots of evidence to help improve the economy. Unfortunately, there are people that don’t want to see California improve.

I spent my entire Saturday afternoon and late evening devouring this book. It’s superb mix between a light memoir and a factual analysis of the state of California and our nation. Larry recounts stories of the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election, the issues facing the US today and what we can do to return us to a state of prosperity. I can’t recommend this book enough.
