"His statewide name recognition needs work, but San Jose mayor is gaining increasing attention as a viable gubernatorial candidate with his moderate, pragmatist approach to homelessness and crime."
"A jury finds the former chancellor of the San Mateo County Community College District, who prosecutors say often quipped "it's good to be king," guilty of eight felony counts of tax evasion and perjury."

Matt Mahan currently lacks broad statewide name recognition but is attracting attention as a viable gubernatorial candidate because of a moderate, pragmatic approach to homelessness and crime. A jury found Ron Galatolo, former chancellor of the San Mateo County Community College District, guilty on eight felony counts, including tax evasion and perjury, with prosecutors noting he often quipped "it's good to be king."

Name recognition, legal accountability, union backing, and voter skepticism toward wealth are shaping the statewide contest.
