Three weeks before the November election, does a Republican have a legitimate shot at winning a statewide race in California?

It’s been 16 years since a candidate from the GOP was elected to a statewide office in California, but the party thinks it has its best shot since then, in the race for State Controller. 

 That candidate is Lanhee Chen, a fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution who was policy advisor to Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio and was appointed by President Obama to the Social Security Advisory Board. He holds four degrees from Harvard, including a JD and a PhD. He is the Republican contender for state Controller, running against Democrat Malia Cohen, and he joins KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising.
