Lewis Herms for California Governor — Ending Taxes, Exposing Corruption & Protecting Children | Michael Jaco

In this powerful episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco sits down with California gubernatorial candidate Lewis Herms to discuss his bold vision for transforming California ahead of the June 2, 2026 primary. Running with No Party Preference, Herms shares his strategy for addressing corruption, restoring accountability, and implementing sweeping structural changes across the state.

Herms outlines his proposal to eliminate “WHARF” — waste, abuse, redundancy, and fraud — which he believes could reduce government spending by up to 75–80%, allowing for the removal of property and income taxes while potentially lowering sales tax. He discusses his commitment to full financial transparency through a publicly accessible California budget and a proposed exposure.ca.gov platform to identify officials under investigation.

The conversation also explores major issues shaping California’s future, including combating human and child trafficking, election integrity, public safety reform, and holding leadership accountable. Herms describes plans for a statewide sheriff symposium focused on restoring law enforcement’s mission to protect and serve, as well as strategies to reduce regulations, bring businesses back to California, and support farmers in producing cleaner, healthier food.

Energy and infrastructure are also central to Herms’ platform. He discusses lowering energy costs through emerging technologies such as small modular reactors and landfill-to-energy systems, along with long-term interest in advanced energy solutions. He also shares ideas for improving water security, including raising existing dams and exploring the creation of a major new lake system that could reduce reliance on the Colorado River.

Herms explains that victory depends on reaching the millions of Californians who have disengaged from voting, emphasizing the importance of participation, transparency, and citizen involvement in shaping the future of the state.

This episode offers insight into Herms’ mission, policies, and vision for a restructured California focused on accountability, safety, and practical solutions.
