California's summer fire season has been modest so far, though conditions could change with a bad heat wave. Total acres burned this year are down 10% compared with the same time last year and about 50% lower than the five-year average. Stephen Cloobeck, a Beverly Hills Democrat and former timeshare company CEO, invested more than $10 million of his own money in the California governor's race but polls place him twelfth with under 1% support. U.S. Senator Alex Padilla is considering a gubernatorial run amid media speculation. Padilla faces a crowded field and is a low-profile politician appointed by Gavin Newsom to Kamala Harris' former Senate seat; he is not known for charisma.
