The Most Pro-Tech Politician in California

Dick Lucas isn’t running a typical campaign. In this episode, the Assembly candidate for California’s 51st District joins to talk about housing, energy, and why California needs to rediscover its appetite for building growth. An entrepreneur turned political insurgent, Lucas argues for CEQA reform, nuclear revival, and making space for brand-new cities. We talk about California's stagnation, his viral launch video, and what it means to be the most pro-tech politician in the state.
