Why Gloria Romero’s Campaign for Obscure Office Will Change CA GOP
Gloria Romero is California’s basta ya candidate.
The most interesting race in California may be Gloria Romero’s run for the oft-ignored position of lieutenant governor. What makes this race different is that Romero is a different kind of Republican whose background constitutes a vigorous challenge to the standard-brand Democrat, Treasurer Fiona Ma. Romero is a 71-year-old Republican — but also a former Democratic state Senate majority leader and onetime leftist firebrand. Republican National Committeeman Shawn Steel calls her nomination “the most important development for the California GOP in a generation.” That’s because between 2000 and 2020, the Latino voter turnout nearly tripled in California, surging from 1.6 million to 4.5 million, marking a notable increase of 184%. Romero’s candidacy will appeal to some of those voters, even though her severely underfunded campaign has little chance of actually winning. The key is not who Romero is now, but who she was. Romero’s break with the Democrats may include some personal beefs, but it was also about policy — notably education, which is her particular passion.
