Summary
Fiona Ma is currently terming out as California's Treasurer, but after more than two decades of public service, she's now running to be the state's Lieutenant Governor. While most of the media's attention has been focused on the still unpredictable gubernatorial race, there are sixteen in the race for California's No. 2 seat of power, and Fiona has the clearest institutional resume, giving her an early advantage in name recognition among voters even as most remain undecided. Over 30 current and former California mayors have endorsed her. Early polling gives her a lead with likely Democratic voters, but eight in 10 voters still have no opinion of her--a reminder that institutional status has not translated into decisive primary support. This episode is your chance to get to know her better and to appreciate her immense qualifications to be California's next Lieutenant Governor.
