## Resource

California’s governor’s race is exploding into a high-stakes showdown with 61 candidates, but the real drama centers on a handful of heavyweights. In a jungle primary system, the top two advance regardless of party—setting up a nail-biting general election. Democratic frontrunners include seasoned Attorney General Xavier Becerra, Silicon Valley-friendly mayor Matt Mahan, fiery Congresswoman Katie Porter, and pragmatic ex-L.A. mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. On the GOP side, Trump-endorsed Steve Hilton and crime-focused sheriff Chad Bianco are pushing hard. Billionaire Tom Steyer is also throwing his money and progressive vision into the mix. With California’s future hanging in the balance, voters are about to pick the leader who’ll steer the nation’s most populous and influential state.
