California’s Next Governor Might Be More Irresponsible Than Newsom
An uninspiring far-left field is vying for the governor’s mansion.
In a state facing a long-term budget crisis, massive out-migration, and the nation’s highest poverty and unemployment rates, you would think that voters would want to throw the bums out. But this November, Californians are poised to elect a new governor who will be, if anything, more irresponsible than Gavin Newsom.
The Golden State is in for a competitive primary. Kamala Harris and Senator Alex Padilla have declined to run, opening the door for a relative unknown to seize one of the nation’s most important executive offices. The current uninspiring field is enough to make one yearn for the days of cranky-but-smart Jerry Brown, or even of the opportunistic chameleon Newsom.
