Democrats looking for the Governor of CA

Given the discouragement of California – even existential – an array of social, economic and fiscal crises, it is remarkable that everyone would like to voluntarily become its governor.

However, Gavin Newo will release the office at 19 months, with most of these crises still in place, and at least seven democratic politicians longing to amaze it.

Katie PorterHead of public instructions Tony ThurmondFormer mayor of Los Angeles Antonio Villaregosa and former state controller Betty yes See yourself on Monday night during a legislative conference of state organizations of the Union.

It was what politicians call a “beauty pageant” in which candidates are given opportunities to briefly strengthen their things without any deep oratory. It was also an opportunity for Union leaders to move them on their best bread and butter problems, such as providing unemployment benefits to striking workers, mandatory use of union work in construction projects and more money for these projects.

With Lorena Gonzalez, head of the California Labor Federation, and Chris Hanan, President of Construction Transactions, shooting on the issues, the candidates were asked to wave flags, indicating whether they supported the different goals of the Union.

Most were rotating to the Union, although the Villaregosa, who was spraying with educational unions during his mayoralty, was destroyed on the issue of unemployment insurance, citing his expenses and the chronic budget deficit of the state.

This and some other questions were indirect pots at Newsom, which occasionally distorted the unions. He rejected unemployment benefits and his crusade to weaning of California from Petrol, which begins to Turn off your refineries, He attracted opposition from candidates when asked by members of the Refinery Union. Several said the campaign against oil would Raise the high costs of life of Californians And as you say, “it can’t be on the back of the workers.”

As the “salon” continued, it was obvious that two people who were not in the ballroom of the Sacramento Hotel in Sacramento were outlined above the event: President Donald Trump and the woman who beat last fall, a former Vice President (and Senator in California) Kamala HarrisS

Surprisingly, only Kounalakis led Trump without being driven, as Trump’s opposition is a sacred principle of democratic politicians in California. She promised relentless resistance, and others later followed their lead. Although Villaraigosa continued to split somewhat, saying “We can’t just take Trump,” but has to deal with many problems in California.

Harris was even more powerful ghost as she plays it on whether to ignite her political career By running for a governorS She obviously weighs whether to do this or Restore your pursuit of the White House in 2028When Trump presumably ends his second term and leave.

Presidential Indications to see a White House campaign himself as he publicly denies such ambitions.

Were Harris to look for the government, Polls show that it will be the immediate gable, especially in a crowded field of hopes for primary elections. It is also likely that some of the seven current political samurai will be dropped if Harris is going to run. With a smaller field, one of the other Democrats can make the November run on the main first first, creating a duel duel.

However, until Harris decided that everything was indicative and unresolved, including efforts to meet the many millions of dollars needed for a California state office campaign. Union leaders who organized the event on Monday will also be the main sources of money from the campaign for anyone that they finally support.
