California's upcoming gubernatorial race features candidates devoid of celebrity status, reflecting a trend where the state often favors more 'drab, workmanlike' politicians.
Despite being the center of Hollywood, the 2026 gubernatorial field lacks star power, highlighted by the fact that candidates could easily be unrecognized in a lineup.
Prominent political figures like Kamala Harris and Katie Porter are speculated to enter the race, yet even they don't compare to past celebrity governors like Reagan and Schwarzenegger.
The absence of famous names among candidates for governor points to a broader pattern where the state has historically chosen practical leaders over flashy personalities.
