This one looks pretty wrapped up already. Would be good to see a more vibrant, perhaps 3 or more party system in CA and elsewhere. In hyper partisan times, states with a strong dem/rep lean become politically unaccountable.

Do you agree @JamesJalaPayneoReg @vcstewart @b_shine23 @haviba ?

A cheat sheet for the California governor's race: Can anyone beat Gavin Newsom?
After Newsom beat back a recall, "the gubernatorial election seems like an afterthought," said Republican political consultant Kevin Spillane.
...
Concerns about rising crime and California's seemingly intractable homelessness crisis emerged as the top political undercurrents driving voter dissatisfaction, with most of those surveyed giving Newsom poor marks for how he has handled those issues.
...
The race did not attract many big names from the GOP, and those trying to oust the governor have not raised significant amounts of money.As The Times' Phil Willon summed it up: "With no widely known, well-funded challenger to Gov. Gavin Newsom's bid for reelection, a motley assortment of deep-thinkers, also-rans and fed-up political neophytes each holds a modicum of hope that, just maybe, they will shock California by winning enough votes in the June 7 primary to face off against the governor in the general election."
