I had no idea she was running for governor until she made headlines today. Newsom is term limited and 2026 will be his final year. Think her chances are better in this one than when she ran for Senate.

She was incredibly testy in this interview, which is why she's making headlines about it today.

    I still think that Gaza serves as a litmus test. If someone is wishy washy on it - as porter has been - they are not going to be a good progressive voice

    Didn't know that was her position on it. It's a shame especially when the tide has turned against Israel.

    I didn't look into her positions - but I had heard that Toni Atkins was progressive on environmental issues. She dropped out tho.
    Villaigoroso, becerra, and yee are the biggest names on the Wikipedia entry. Not sure on their positions.

    I don’t agree with all of her positions but I think she’d be a good governor and I would align with most of her policy choices.
