""Watching this dystopian horror come to life has reaffirmed something I feel in every fiber of my being: In this moment, my place is here, shielding Californians from the most brazen attacks on our rights and our families," Bonta said in a statement Monday afternoon. "My vision for the California Department of Justice is that we remain the nation's largest and most powerful check on power," Bonta added. "We aren't just defending the status quo; we are securing the California Dream for the next generation. Let's finish what we started - together.""
"In a statement issued Monday, in which Gates says he will "fight for Californians as our next Attorney General," Gates' representatives said he would make a "major announcement regarding a run for statewide office" on Wednesday, Jan. 14, in Huntington Beach. The Huntington Beach City Council is expected to attend, along with First District Supervisor Janet Nguyen, Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton and former state Senate Majority Leader"
Rob Bonta will run for reelection as California Attorney General and intends to remain in office to address ongoing legal challenges involving the federal government. Reasons cited include recent federal actions such as the Minneapolis immigration enforcement operation that resulted in the shooting of Renee Good and attempts to withhold federal child welfare funds from California and other Democratic-leaning states. Bonta framed the Department of Justice as a powerful check on federal power and emphasized protecting California families and the California Dream. Michael Gates has indicated interest in the Attorney General position and plans a January 14 announcement in Huntington Beach ahead of the June 2 primary.
