Larry Elder
Running for: US President
Larry Elder is a long-time conservative commentator for both TV and radio.

In April 2023 he announced his presidential campaign. His website states, "As a California resident, I’ve seen firsthand how decades of Democrat rule have turned the Golden State, for many, into an unaffordable dystopia. I won’t let them do the same to America."

"The Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) cults are increasing - not decreasing - racial tensions in America. CRT and DEI spread the lie that racism is ingrained in every aspect of American society and that our institutions and millions of Americans are inherently racist. This divisive theory undermines our shared belief in the American Dream, as it shifts the focus from personal responsibility and individual merit to racial identity and collective guilt. CRT and DEI do not belong in any government institution, least of all the United States Armed Forces. And they do not belong in any corporation that receives large government contracts."For| Read My Position
