"Arreguin ran with the backing of much of the region's establishment Democrats, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and outgoing Sen. Nancy Skinner, who is giving up the seat because of term limits."
"Beckles, meanwhile, racked up endorsements from officials and groups further left, such as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and the East Bay Democratic Socialists of America."
"Arreguin's campaign outspent Beckles' more than 5-to-1 as of the close of the last campaign finance reporting period on Oct. 19."
"That prompted criticism from Beckles, a self-described corporate-free candidate who contends she, not Arreguin, will champion the district's progressive values in the Legislature."
