Tony Strickland, as you probably know, is the Republican former Assemblyman and state Senator who at times represented portions of the SCV. He recently canceled a planned run for Ventura County's 26th CD to run for our 25th CD, which also includes much of the Antelope and Simi Valleys, plus a few thousand people in the northern San Fernando Valley.
Tony Strickland Interviewed on KHTS
This morning, he appeared on KHTS's Hometown Morning Show and was interviewed by host George Cummings. George kept a friendly tone, but asked some pointed questions, including one about this commercial*. You can read Perry Smith's writeup and/or listen here:

Strickland is running the support of outgoing Congressman Buck McKeon, though most of the local GOP support is going to his opponent in the primary, state Senator Steve Knight of Palmdale. Because the 26th was seen as a battleground race (Strickland lost narrowly to Julia Brownley in 2012) he had raised a lot of money in anticipation of a rematch, so there's a lot of money to be spent between now and June.
*It's worth pointing out that Julia Brownley didn't live in the city of LA, but Santa Monica (which, like Santa Clarita, is an LA County suburb that borders LA), and the 25th District actually includes part of the city of LA.
