TheCalifornia primary is officially under way, as counties across the state have sent ballots to voters for the June 2 election.
It is the first step on the road to November, in a year that could decide California’s fate.
We could continue a downward spiral — or we can revive the California dream.
This will also be the first primary for the state’s newly gerrymandered congressional districts — and possibly the last California primary without voter ID, depending on the outcomes in November.
Turnout rates are often low for primary elections. But this year, there is so much at stake.
We have the headline race —the battle for the governorship. It is the first interesting contest since the recall election two decades ago that brought Arnold Schwarzenegger to power.
He came into office promising to make sweeping reforms. He ran into the unions — and they won.
Today, many Californians — most, in some surveys — say that our state is heading in the wrong direction.
Thetwo major Republican candidatesare talking about change. The half-dozen Democrats are talking about Trump. It is highly unlikely a Republican can win. But it is possible both might qualify for the general election through the jungle primary. If so — look out.
In Los Angeles, voters have a fateful choice. They have a unique opportunity to hold Mayor Karen Bass accountable for her failures in the2025 wildfires.
