0:00Matt Mahan, welcome to All In.
0:02Thanks, David.
0:03I have no idea who you are.
0:04Who are you?
0:05I mean, you're a guy who kind of popped up running for governor of California last minute.
0:10How'd that come about?

0:18But to back up, I grew up in a little farming town here in California, a town called Watsonville, where your strawberries come from.
0:24Homeland.
0:24I do work in Watsonville.
0:25Briscoe Berries, you know it well.
0:27I got greenhouses.

0:29Working class family.
0:30Mom was a teacher.

0:53Ended up in the tech sector and spent about a decade building civic tech tools to help people navigate their democracy.
0:59What did you build?
