I feel like y'all are baiting me into making a comment here regarding CA-Gov. There are several interesting candidates, depending on who actually runs. You have misidentified the former office of one of them. Betty Yee is the former Controller of the Golden State. We do not have a CoMPtroller in California, so there is nobody to comptrol the payments made by the state. Please make a note of it...

Hopefully they are all improvements over Newsom.

The impression I get from Democratic comments on here and similar sites is that anyone who doesn't have an R after their name on the ballot would be better than Newsom.

Well mostly better. We don't have any Tulsi Gabbards or RFK Jr. types in CA among the Democrats. At least not that I'm aware of....

All the current leading Democratic Candidates from Eleni Kounalakis to Betty Yee to Toni Akins are as far removed from Newsom's persona as you can get. For starters, they don't clamour for attention like he does.

You could credibly argue that Newsom is responsible for the GOP House majorities in both the outgoing and incoming Congress.

I am curious, in what concrete ways and on what specific issues would you like the new governor to be different from Newsom? What are your primary objections to the current governor?
