California governor’s race: Who are the major contenders now?

[Fair Fox]

So I'm thinking what's crazy about all these contenders is they're all trying to appeal to different aspects of Californian life - affordability, homelessness, crime, education, climate change... it's like a big ol' puzzle . Porter and Mahan seem to be focusing on the more emotional aspects, while Hilton and Bianco are going for a more hardline approach . Meanwhile, Xavier Becerra is trying to connect with voters on a personal level by sharing his own upbringing in poverty .

And what's up with all these candidates having different track records? Like, Chad Bianco has been outspoken about criticism of Democratic leadership, but did he actually implement any real change in Riverside County? It's hard to know who's just trying to appeal to the masses and who's actually got a solid plan for the state. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out on June 2...

I was just watching this crazy video of sea otters playing with seaweed on YouTube and I started thinking about how California should totally have more sea otter reserves, like, for tourism and wildlife preservation purposes. It's not like they're just cute and all, but the research that comes from studying them is so valuable for marine conservation. And can you imagine how many jobs it would create? But anyway, back to politics... I guess what I'm trying to say is, have any of these gubernatorial candidates talked about sea otter conservation or something?

So like I'm watching this whole gubernatorial thing and honestly, I think Katie Porter is getting a bad rap . She's all about holding those big corps accountable and making affordability a priority – sounds pretty standard Democratic stuff to me. And I mean, her whiteboard fame is actually kinda cool .

I also think people are unfairly dismissing Steve Hilton as just another crazy Republican . He's running on some real issues like crime and homelessness, which are definitely worth discussing. And let's be real, he's not as extreme as some of the other candidates .

And then there's Matt Mahan – I think he's a dark horse in this thing . Tackling those quality-of-life issues is important and his mayoral win shows he can actually get stuff done. Plus, he's not as flashy as some of the other candidates .

It's crazy to see so many people throwing their hats into the ring, though . I guess only time will tell who comes out on top

I gotta say, I'm loving the diversity of contenders in this gov race . It's crazy to think we got a mix of old-school pols like Xavier Becerra and Tony Thurmond alongside these newer faces like Katie Porter and Matt Mahan . Now that I think about it, having a more crowded field might actually be good for the state . Less money spent on negative ads means more focus on policy . Plus, with all these different perspectives, we might just get some real innovation in Sacramento . Don't get me wrong, some of them are still total unknowns to me, but that's part of the fun right?

Ugh, it's gonna be a mess whoever wins . I mean, have you seen all these people running? It's like they're all just trying to get elected for their own sake, not because they actually care about California. Katie Porter is all about corporate accountability, but I'm sure she'll sell out to the highest bidder as soon as she gets into office . And don't even get me started on Steve Hilton, he's just a law-and-order troll trying to scare people with his "tough on crime" nonsense . Meanwhile, Matt Mahan is just regurgitating all the same old empty promises about tackling homelessness and public safety... yeah right, like that's gonna make a difference . And what's up with Eric Swalwell? He can't even get re-elected in his own district, let alone try to take on an entire state . I'm just waiting for the next scandal or two to break out and then we'll really see who's running for governor for all the wrong reasons .
