Gov. Gavin Newsom’s March ballot measure would raise billions of dollars for mental health housing and treatment facilities, but some clinics fear it would strip them of revenue they need for services they provide today.
The four leading candidates for California's U.S. Senate race had their first debate Monday night. The question it raised is whether Republican Steve Garvey can finish second in the March primary to win a spot on the November ballot.
The Private Attorneys General Act is a unique California law making it easier for employees to sue their bosses. For two decades, it's been the subject of political and legal infighting but a pending ballot measure would decide its fate.
The four top candidates faced off for the first time. Democrats Barbara Lee, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff clashed over earmarks and the Gaza war, and ganged up on Republican Steve Garvey over his support for former President Trump. But will the debate change the dynamics of the race before the March 5 primary?
More than two years until the first votes are cast, Senate leader Toni Atkins becomes the fourth big-name Democrat to jump into the governor's race. She is seeking to become the first female and openly gay chief executive.
The five major contenders have different track records and proposals on some of the biggest issues facing California. They’re trying to position themselves to appeal to sizable voting blocs before the March 5 primary.
Republican Steve Garvey might do well in the March primary, but he's not going to be the next U.S. senator from California. There is little evidence he's running a serious campaign. So why is he running?
A judge rules that the Bakersfield Republican is eligible to run in the 2024 election for Congress even though he had already filed to run for his state Assembly seat.
California's referendum process was designed to be a check on big business. More than a century later, it's used much differently. The latest clash pits oil companies against a familiar yet unsurprising foe: Jane Fonda.
The stakes for the next election are high, but the narrative that 2024 will determine the future of American democracy is wrong. Democracy is about more than campaigns. It is about shared political community, which we are at risk of losing.
