Latest line: A good week for Katie Porter, a bad week for Valley Water
Briefly

Kamala Harris is forgoing the 2026 governor's race, allowing former Southern California congresswoman Katie Porter to gain momentum. A new Politico poll shows Porter cementing her lead as the frontrunner. Valley Water has spent about $100 million since 2017 planning a $2.7 billion reservoir that critics deem infeasible. The state has cut off new funding and federal authorities have refused to provide water for the project. Charles Munger Jr., a Palo Alto resident and son of Warren Buffett's business partner, will fund opposition to Gavin Newsom's redistricting ballot measure. Democrats plan to attack Munger over donations to anti-abortion and anti-gay groups.
