## Resource

California’s governor’s race is exploding with drama as sixty candidates battle for top-two spots, with Xavier Becerra, Tom Steyer, and Steve Hilton leading the charge—each promising experience, progress, or pared-down government. Meanwhile, LA Mayor Karen Bass faces a wild mayoral race against reality TV star Spencer Pratt and progressive councilmember Nithya Raman, all vying for voters’ trust in a city grappling with direction. Early signs hint at a Republican edge—unusual for the state—and Democratic fatigue, as voters wait to see if a standout emerges. With candidates crisscrossing the state and fierce debates over energy, oil donations, and policy, the primaries could reshape California’s political future.
