One day after California’s Democratic party urged candidates without a “viable path” in the state’s crucial race for governor to drop out,
the crowded field showed no sign of winnowing down.

At least nine Democrats are in the running to replace the outgoing governor, Gavin Newsom,
with no clear frontrunner,
💥which has fueled fears that the number of candidates could lead to two Republicans advancing to the November election.

Rusty Hicks, the chair of California’s Democratic party, warned in an open letter on Tuesday about that “unlikely” but “possible” scenario and called on candidates to
“act in a responsible manner with the opportunities and support we have earned”.

He advised candidates not to run in the primary if they don’t have a path to reach the general election,
and said they should be prepared to suspend their campaigns within the next month if they hadn’t made “meaningful progress” toward a primary win.

The packed field of Democratic candidates includes
former secretary of health and human services and state attorney general Xavier #Becerra;
former state lawmaker Ian Calderon; San Jose’s mayor, Matt #Mahan;
former congresswoman Katie #Porter;
billionaire environmental activist Tom #Steyer;
the Congress member Eric #Swalwell;
the state schools superintendent, Tony #Thurmond;
former mayor of Los Angeles Antonio #Villaraigosa;
and former state controller Betty #Yee.

The Republican candidates include
Chad #Bianco, the Riverside county sheriff,
and the conservative political commentator Steve #Hilton.

The nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found the race had split into two distinct groups,
with polling indicating Hilton, Porter, Bianco, Swalwell and Steyer are in close competition,
while the other candidates trail behind

Nithya Raman filing papers on Saturday morning to
⭐️challenge Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in the
👉 June 2 election
hit like a political bombshell.

Text chains blew up with stunned variations of,
"I didn't see that coming!"

Everyone sought to determine what a run from someone on Bass' left will mean when election day arrives in, gulp, 💥 less than four months.

How this plays out remains to be seen.
But here are some initial takeaways.

This Is Great for Los Angeles!

Elections are best when they involve real choice.
Races where incumbents face no or only token opposition do little for constituents.

That was the case with the last two mayors seeking a second term.

Neither Eric #Garcetti in 2017, nor Antonio #Villaraigosa in 2009, was threatened.

The races were boring. Angelenos yawned.

For a moment it looked like the same thing would happen this year, as
Rick #Caruso,
Austin #Beutner and Lindsey #Horvath opted against running for various reasons.

Bass may briefly have envisioned coasting to term two.

#Raman does not arrive at this moment with decades in the game and deep connections in far-flung halls of power
-like #Bass when she entered the 2022 mayor's race.

But with five years on the council, progressive bona fides, and key positions including chairing the Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee,
✅ Raman will force Bass to defend her first-term record on everything from homelessness to housing construction to Palisades fire response.
