His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

But neither Allen nor Cox could get to the 60 percent needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the first vote, some delegates asked the party to reconsider -- including San Diego delegate Greg Lansing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are at a critical point here... we have to send a clear message and unify behind one,\" Lansing said. \"If we don't, it's just going to dilute our party, it's going to dilute our spending, it's going to dilute the vote. We need to unify and show that we can be unified and go up against the Democrats. That’s our enemy. It’s not these guys, alright?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jennifer Beal, Orange County delegate, said there shouldn't be a second vote noting that neither man was close to 60 percent.

Let's all go our ways and get into the streets and fight for the candidate that we believe in. And that candidate will prevail on June 5.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, delegates voted against reconsidering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire endorsement question was a new one for GOP delegates. But with only about one-quarter of voters in California registered Republican and a top-two primary system that allows the two leaders in the June primary to advance to the November runoff -- regardless of party affiliation -- Republicans could get locked out of the governor's race entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, the statewide candidates who met the requirements set out by the GOP to vie for an endorsement were allowed 12 minutes to make their pitch to delegates. Party Chair Jim Brulte barred the candidates from attacking each other in the speeches and had an airhorn at the ready if they didn't comply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/mlagos/status/992877121952301056\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Allen and Cox mostly played along, taking a few opaque swipes at their opponent (Allen noted that he was the only gubernatorial candidate who voted for President Trump; Cox argued that the party needs someone with \"maturity,\" an apparent reference to their nearly two decade age difference).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all weekend, the differences between the men seemed more about style that substance. They focused their messages on Republican red meat issues: Attacking California Democrats, bemoaning the state's business climate, attacking the sanctuary state law and vowing to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11666676/one-thing-california-republicans-agree-on-repealing-the-gas-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">repeal the gas tax increase\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our state’s been mismanaged and not only has it been mismanaged, it has been run into the ground,\" Allen told delegates Saturday. \"Jerry Brown and the California Democrats have taken the state that once had the best roads, the best schools, the best water system, and now we lead the nation in poverty ... I will tell you, ladies and gentleman, this is our state, it's about time that we take it back. Are you with me?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox, who acknowledged that he's still being introduced to many voters, hammered the same theme in his speech a few minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Why am I a conservative?\" he asked. \"Because like you, I believe in people, not government. I believe that conservative solutions solve problems, not big government. Big government is not the solution to our problem, big government \u003cem>is\u003c/em> the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The party did throw its support Sunday behind a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663084/san-diego-county-supervisors-vote-to-support-trump-sanctuary-state-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> by President Trump's administration, challenging the state's so-called sanctuary law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sanctuary policy, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11621200/governor-jerry-brown-signs-sanctuary-state-bill-setting-up-standoff-with-trump-adminstration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passed last year\u003c/a> by Democrats and signed by Gov.

"content": "\u003cp>Two Republican gubernatorial candidates hoping to defy the odds and defeat a long line of Democrats in the June primary will be making their case to 1,500 party faithful in San Diego this weekend in hopes of landing the party’s official endorsement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thinking: The GOP’s seal of approval will help guide Republican voters toward one candidate rather than splitting the vote and missing a ticket to the November runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in this blue state — where Republicans only make up about one-quarter of the electorate, and no GOP politician has won statewide in over a decade — the June primary is just the first hurdle for businessman John Cox and state Assemblyman Travis Allen of Huntington Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recent polls show the two Republicans \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0qs508hc\">virtually tied for second place\u003c/a> behind Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom. They’ve vaulted ahead of Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa by consolidating support among Republican voters, focusing their messages on issues that are red meat for GOP voters: lowering taxes, cutting government spending and fighting California’s sanctuary state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So with a month left before the June primary, the governor’s race appears to be fluid. A Republican isn’t guaranteed a spot in November, because of California’s top-two primary system, which lets the top vote-getters in June advance to a fall runoff, no matter which party they’re affiliated with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely wide open,” said Paul Mitchell, an expert in voter data whose company, Political Data, Inc., works for both major political parties. “I don’t think the race for second place has really gelled yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s good news for Allen and Cox, said Mitchell. He noted that while Republicans only make up about a quarter of registered voters in California, they’re more likely than Democrats to vote in primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though we’re expecting a big Democratic wave, that probably is something we’d see more likely in November,” he said. “You’re still going to probably see 33, 34, 35 percent of the electorate being Republicans (in June) — far outstripping their registration rates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while repealing the gas tax and attacking Democrats’ support for the sanctuary law is a safe tactic for appealing to Republicans — in \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/443790rm\">another recent poll\u003c/a> by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies, 88 percent of GOP voters said they oppose the sanctuary law — it could backfire after the primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same poll found a majority of overall voters backing the sanctuary law, including 52 percent of independent voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some members of the GOP think an anti-immigrant message is a bad gamble in California, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/immigrants-in-california/?utm_source=ppic&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=epub\">where 10 million immigrants reside\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican consultant Mike Madrid is advising a Democrat: Villaraigosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles. Villaraigosais hoping to leapfrog over Cox and Allen and make the November runoff an entirely Democratic affair, and Madrid said he’d rather work for a Democrat he believes in than Republicans who are promoting the same message they have been for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, there’s no serious observer in California politics who believes that a Republican has a chance of winning the governor’s race,” Madrid said, adding that the immigration debate in particular is a loser for the GOP in general elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That calculation is one that Republicans have been making to their detriment for 25 years in this state,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jim Brulte, head of the California Republican Party, is betting that voters’ dissatisfaction with bigger issues, like the gas tax increase and the high cost of living here, will provide an opening for a more conservative messenger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voters understand that California is not all hunky dory and they also know the Democrats own California,” he said. “They broke it. And if you want to fix it, you’ve got to change course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now, Cox and Allen will likely remain focused on winning the support of their own party — starting with delegates at the GOP convention this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gov. Gavin Newsom. They’ve vaulted ahead of Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa by consolidating support among Republican voters, focusing their messages on issues that are red meat for GOP voters: lowering taxes, cutting government spending and fighting California’s sanctuary state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So with a month left before the June primary, the governor’s race appears to be fluid. A Republican isn’t guaranteed a spot in November, because of California’s top-two primary system, which lets the top vote-getters in June advance to a fall runoff, no matter which party they’re affiliated with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He noted that while Republicans only make up about a quarter of registered voters in California, they’re more likely than Democrats to vote in primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though we’re expecting a big Democratic wave, that probably is something we’d see more likely in November,” he said. “You’re still going to probably see 33, 34, 35 percent of the electorate being Republicans (in June) — far outstripping their registration rates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while repealing the gas tax and attacking Democrats’ support for the sanctuary law is a safe tactic for appealing to Republicans — in \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/443790rm\">another recent poll\u003c/a> by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies, 88 percent of GOP voters said they oppose the sanctuary law — it could backfire after the primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same poll found a majority of overall voters backing the sanctuary law, including 52 percent of independent voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some members of the GOP think an anti-immigrant message is a bad gamble in California, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/immigrants-in-california/?utm_source=ppic&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=epub\">where 10 million immigrants reside\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican consultant Mike Madrid is advising a Democrat: Villaraigosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles. Villaraigosais hoping to leapfrog over Cox and Allen and make the November runoff an entirely Democratic affair, and Madrid said he’d rather work for a Democrat he believes in than Republicans who are promoting the same message they have been for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, there’s no serious observer in California politics who believes that a Republican has a chance of winning the governor’s race,” Madrid said, adding that the immigration debate in particular is a loser for the GOP in general elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That calculation is one that Republicans have been making to their detriment for 25 years in this state,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jim Brulte, head of the California Republican Party, is betting that voters’ dissatisfaction with bigger issues, like the gas tax increase and the high cost of living here, will provide an opening for a more conservative messenger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voters understand that California is not all hunky dory and they also know the Democrats own California,” he said. “They broke it. And if you want to fix it, you’ve got to change course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now, Cox and Allen will likely remain focused on winning the support of their own party — starting with delegates at the GOP convention this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The charter association has endorsed Villaraigosa, who clashed with teacher unions and took control of several low-performing schools when he was mayor of Los Angeles. Charter supporters have already poured $10.2 million into a fund paying for ads supporting Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questionnaire may not be the only factor in an endorsement decision. Like most influential groups, the charter schools association also interviews candidates to discuss issues in greater depth. But its questions indicate some key priorities, asking whether candidates support changing the formula for funding schools, limiting charter-school expansion or applying a \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2016/brown-vetoes-bill-requiring-charters-to-comply-with-conflict-of-interest-open-records-laws-cta-ccsa/570087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conflict-of-interest law\u003c/a> that school boards must follow to charters, which are now exempt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villaraigosa said he’s answered dozens of questionnaires in the course of the campaign and doesn’t see the need to make them public.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/read-some-endorsement-questionnaires/\">Read some endorsement questionnaires here\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“All of these groups have asked that they be confidential and ... that's what we've done,” Villaraigosa said. “We have a lot of transparency in this election, a lot of eyes watching. People have a good view of where we all are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the charter school group would not disclose candidates’ responses, it shared a blank copy of its three-page questionnaire with CALmatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many groups wouldn’t even do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sierra Club, California Teachers Association, Service Employees International Union and California Labor Federation would not provide their blank questionnaires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CALmatters obtained some from other sources. They show that the California Teachers Association asks if candidates will back more regulations for charters, which compete with traditional schools to attract students and the taxpayer funding that comes with them. Many charters employ non-union teachers, an element in the ongoing feud between charter supporters and teacher unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teachers association, which endorsed Newsom, also asks candidates if they will oppose using student test scores as an element in determining teacher salaries; support collective bargaining for school employees; and oppose replacing the pension system for public employees with a 401k-style retirement plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers association spokeswoman Claudia Briggs said the questionnaire is a tool meant to help union members only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is their process,” she said. “Beyond their membership, it’s not a public document and there is no requirement to share it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The director of Sierra Club California similarly said the group’s members expect their questions and candidates’ answers to be kept private.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a policy of not talking about how they respond to the questionnaires because we promised them in advance we won’t do that,” Kathryn Phillips said, noting that the club instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/sce/sierra-club-california/PDFs/Why_Sierra_Club_Endorses_Newsom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published\u003c/a> an explanation of why it endorsed Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some groups do not use questionnaires — but still pose questions that are hidden from the public. The California Business Roundtable, which includes 30 large corporations, interviews candidates about their positions on health care, budget and energy policy, then sends the answers to the member companies, said CBR President Rob Lapsley. He declined to say specifically what the group asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups post blank questionnaires on their web sites but will not share candidates’ answers: the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, an anti-tax group that has not yet endorsed a gubernatorial candidate, and the California Police Chiefs Association, which endorsed Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One outlier to the secrecy trend is the National Union of Healthcare Workers, which endorsed Newsom and \u003ca href=\"http://nuhw.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/NUHW-Questionnaire-Newsom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published\u003c/a> its questionnaire with his answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With groups across the political spectrum interested in holding politicians accountable, why not make the process public? Isn’t it supposed to be voters who wield that power in a democracy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Smith, spokesman for the California Labor Federation, said his group has batted the idea around. As an umbrella organization with many unions that are members, Smith said, the change couldn’t be made quickly. But they’ve discussed moving to a model where the questions — and candidates’ answers — are posted online for the world to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a pretty broad process right now, but it’s an internal one,” Smith said. “Making it an external one is not out of the realm of possibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Charter supporters have already poured $10.2 million into a fund paying for ads supporting Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questionnaire may not be the only factor in an endorsement decision. Like most influential groups, the charter schools association also interviews candidates to discuss issues in greater depth. But its questions indicate some key priorities, asking whether candidates support changing the formula for funding schools, limiting charter-school expansion or applying a \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2016/brown-vetoes-bill-requiring-charters-to-comply-with-conflict-of-interest-open-records-laws-cta-ccsa/570087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conflict-of-interest law\u003c/a> that school boards must follow to charters, which are now exempt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villaraigosa said he’s answered dozens of questionnaires in the course of the campaign and doesn’t see the need to make them public.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/read-some-endorsement-questionnaires/\">Read some endorsement questionnaires here\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“All of these groups have asked that they be confidential and ... that's what we've done,” Villaraigosa said. “We have a lot of transparency in this election, a lot of eyes watching. People have a good view of where we all are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the charter school group would not disclose candidates’ responses, it shared a blank copy of its three-page questionnaire with CALmatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many groups wouldn’t even do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sierra Club, California Teachers Association, Service Employees International Union and California Labor Federation would not provide their blank questionnaires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CALmatters obtained some from other sources. They show that the California Teachers Association asks if candidates will back more regulations for charters, which compete with traditional schools to attract students and the taxpayer funding that comes with them. Many charters employ non-union teachers, an element in the ongoing feud between charter supporters and teacher unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teachers association, which endorsed Newsom, also asks candidates if they will oppose using student test scores as an element in determining teacher salaries; support collective bargaining for school employees; and oppose replacing the pension system for public employees with a 401k-style retirement plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers association spokeswoman Claudia Briggs said the questionnaire is a tool meant to help union members only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is their process,” she said. “Beyond their membership, it’s not a public document and there is no requirement to share it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The director of Sierra Club California similarly said the group’s members expect their questions and candidates’ answers to be kept private.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a policy of not talking about how they respond to the questionnaires because we promised them in advance we won’t do that,” Kathryn Phillips said, noting that the club instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/sce/sierra-club-california/PDFs/Why_Sierra_Club_Endorses_Newsom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published\u003c/a> an explanation of why it endorsed Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some groups do not use questionnaires — but still pose questions that are hidden from the public. The California Business Roundtable, which includes 30 large corporations, interviews candidates about their positions on health care, budget and energy policy, then sends the answers to the member companies, said CBR President Rob Lapsley. He declined to say specifically what the group asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups post blank questionnaires on their web sites but will not share candidates’ answers: the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, an anti-tax group that has not yet endorsed a gubernatorial candidate, and the California Police Chiefs Association, which endorsed Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One outlier to the secrecy trend is the National Union of Healthcare Workers, which endorsed Newsom and \u003ca href=\"http://nuhw.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/NUHW-Questionnaire-Newsom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published\u003c/a> its questionnaire with his answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With groups across the political spectrum interested in holding politicians accountable, why not make the process public? Isn’t it supposed to be voters who wield that power in a democracy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Smith, spokesman for the California Labor Federation, said his group has batted the idea around. As an umbrella organization with many unions that are members, Smith said, the change couldn’t be made quickly. But they’ve discussed moving to a model where the questions — and candidates’ answers — are posted online for the world to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a pretty broad process right now, but it’s an internal one,” Smith said. “Making it an external one is not out of the realm of possibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gov. Gavin Newsom is strengthening his grip on first place with support from 30 percent of likely voters, while two Republicans, businessman John Cox and Orange County Assemblyman Travis Allen are second and third with 18 and 16 percent support respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slipping into fourth place is former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who clocks in with just 9 percent, followed by state Treasurer John Chiang at 7 percent and former state schools chief Delaine Eastin at 4 percent. Just 13 percent of likely voters say they are undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is a \u003cem>theory\u003c/em> that without a Republican in one of the top two spots, GOP turnout will be depressed in November.\" said California Republican Party Chairman Jim Brulte. \"That said, we’ve never had an experience like that since the jungle primary (top-two primary) has been in effect.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brulte added, \"I do think you can make a case that not having a Republican there is unhelpful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox has doubled his support from the last Berkeley IGS poll in December, when he had just 9 percent support. Allen has also advanced from 9 percent in December, indicating that Republican voters are moving out of the undecided column as the June primary nears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox, who has plowed at least $3 million into his own campaign, is running a \u003ca href=\"https://johncoxforgovernor.com/commercials/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TV ad\u003c/a> featuring pigs feeding at a trough, representation of the \"special interests\" and \"unions\" he says have a corrupting influence in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen, whose last \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1397257\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaign finance report\u003c/a> showed just $135,534 in the bank, is running a scrappy campaign aimed at supporters of President Trump and his get-tough-on-illegal-immigration rhetoric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the other top of the ballot race for the U.S. Senate, incumbent Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein maintains her lead with support from 28 percent of likely voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Kevin de León, author of California's controversial sanctuary state law, is far behind with 11 percent, followed by a completely unknown Republican, James P. Bradley with 10 percent. Bradley, who lists his occupation as chief financial officer, didn't even file a campaign finance report for the first quarter of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley IGS survey asked voters their preference after being read a list of all 32 candidates running for the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A relatively large portion of voters, 37 percent, say they are still undecided. While Feinstein seems secure in her re-election, the fact that more than a third of voters say they haven't made up their minds is an indication of lukewarm enthusiasm for the four-term incumbent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Feinstein's troubles are nothing compared with Villaraigosa, whose campaign seems to be driving in reverse, at least according to this poll. His 9 percent support is roughly half the 17 percent he got in the December 2017 IGS poll.\u003c/p>\n\n",

No surprise there: “Free to Choose” by the libertarian economist, Milton Friedman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox hails from a school of conservatism, marked by a bright-eyed confidence in the power of unregulated markets to lift all boats, that almost feels like a throwback in the Trump era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Cox didn’t support the president in 2016, voting instead for the Libertarian Party candidate, Gary Johnson. That’s a fact that Cox’s Republican competitor in the race, Assemblyman Travis Allen from Huntington Beach, is constantly reminding voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox says he regrets that decision now, but he clearly draws his cues from an older strain of Republican: President Ronald Reagan and the football player-turned-supply side loving congressman Jack Kemp. Cox sat on Kemp’s national steering committee when he ran for president in the late 1980s and often introduces himself on the campaign trail a “Jack Kemp conservative.” The resemblance is clear. Like Kemp, Cox seems earnest, cheerful and he’s unflinchingly optimistic that in the end, the right ideas — namely, his — will win the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’d have to be optimistic to run for governor of California as a conservative Republican in 2018. But Cox — who has lost previous bids to be elected to Congress, the U.S. Senate and the White House — says he’s already planning his first term in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of mismanagement and a lot of improvements I could make,” he said. “I’m going to have fun turning around this state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Republican hasn’t been elected to statewide office in California since 2006. Registered independents may soon outnumber registered Republicans. The president is historically unpopular and the Democratic base is riled up. But Cox has never been discouraged by long odds. In his native Illinois, he ran for Congress and came in fifth in the Republican primary. Then he ran for Senate in 2002 and 2004, losing twice. In 2008, when he ran for president on a promise to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, he wasn’t even invited to any of the presidential debates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the deep-pocketed businessman is running again and has done surprisingly well up to now: The most recent polls show Cox in second place behind Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom. But the guy in third place, Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa, just got a huge political lift — charter school backers intend to pour more than $8 million into his effort to bump off Cox and secure one of the top two slots that will put him on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Granted, Californians split across six candidates — four Democrats and two Republicans — Cox was able to pull into the number two spot with only 15 percent of the likely vote. Maybe that modest success is due to Cox’s ability to spend more than many of his opponents. Maybe it’s because he’s the conservative in the race who isn’t Allen, a firebrand who has built his campaign around his support of President Trump and his opposition to illegal immigration. Cox has his own explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the meeting, Cox told a story of how he had struck up a conversation with an airport security guard that morning. After telling him about his plans to cut taxes and regulations, Cox said, he won the TSA agent’s support on the spot. “The woman in front of him in line heard this whole discussion and she said the same thing!” he said. “People just want something to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>It’s hard to run as the change agent in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/2018-governors-race\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California governor’s race\u003c/a> when you’re the state’s second-ranking elected leader. But Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is giving it his best shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since launching his bid for governor in early 2015 (arguably, since he was first elected to the position of lieutenant governor five years earlier), Newsom has championed himself as the more progressive, fierier alternative to Gov. Jerry Brown. That’s been a fine line to walk on the campaign trail where Newsom, a Democrat and the front-runner in a crowded gubernatorial field, has been selective about which components of Brown’s legacy to embrace and which to jettison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change policy, K-12 education funding reform and the expansion of Medi-Cal, Newsom is happy to bear the imprint of the current administration. On single-payer health care, higher education funding, homelessness, and universal pre-school? “With respect”—as Newsom often says when he disagrees with someone—not so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a balance that Newsom struck during a recent visit to CALmatters. In some cases, he paid homage to Brown, who remains popular with a majority of California voters, according to a recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/crosstabs_likelyvoters0418.pdf\">poll\u003c/a>. In others, he highlighted his areas of disagreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes he did both at once. Last week, Brown announced that he would be sending some 400 National Guard troops to the state’s southern border with Mexico, assenting to a request by President Trump, but only under the condition that they not be used to enforce immigration law or help build a wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom distanced himself from that position—but he didn’t go too far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t have done it,” Newsom said of the troop deployment. “But if I did do it, I would have done it exactly the way Gov. Brown did it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/N4w9ZT6mpbg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On some differences, Newsom was more blunt. Asked about the rising cost of public higher education in the state, Newsom laid the blame squarely on “withering state funds.” And, by extension, the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would significantly increase the investment in higher education and, by the way, the governor could do that,” he said. “With all due respect, we have the resources today to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also criticized two of his Democratic opponents in the race, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and state Treasurer John Chiang, for their refusal to back a legislative proposal that would create a single-payer health insurance system in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They say why it can’t be done.

But Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is giving it his best shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since launching his bid for governor in early 2015 (arguably, since he was first elected to the position of lieutenant governor five years earlier), Newsom has championed himself as the more progressive, fierier alternative to Gov. Jerry Brown. That’s been a fine line to walk on the campaign trail where Newsom, a Democrat and the front-runner in a crowded gubernatorial field, has been selective about which components of Brown’s legacy to embrace and which to jettison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change policy, K-12 education funding reform and the expansion of Medi-Cal, Newsom is happy to bear the imprint of the current administration. On single-payer health care, higher education funding, homelessness, and universal pre-school? “With respect”—as Newsom often says when he disagrees with someone—not so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a balance that Newsom struck during a recent visit to CALmatters. In some cases, he paid homage to Brown, who remains popular with a majority of California voters, according to a recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/crosstabs_likelyvoters0418.pdf\">poll\u003c/a>. In others, he highlighted his areas of disagreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes he did both at once. Last week, Brown announced that he would be sending some 400 National Guard troops to the state’s southern border with Mexico, assenting to a request by President Trump, but only under the condition that they not be used to enforce immigration law or help build a wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Asked about the rising cost of public higher education in the state, Newsom laid the blame squarely on “withering state funds.” And, by extension, the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would significantly increase the investment in higher education and, by the way, the governor could do that,” he said. “With all due respect, we have the resources today to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also criticized two of his Democratic opponents in the race, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and state Treasurer John Chiang, for their refusal to back a legislative proposal that would create a single-payer health insurance system in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They say why it can’t be done. I say we have no choice but to lean into this conversation,” said Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brown has been one of the most prominent skeptics of single-payer in California, which he told reporters last March “makes no sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While on the topic of his challengers on the campaign trail, Newsom also responded to the news that a pro-Villaraigosa independent expenditure group sponsored by the California Charter Schools Association had just received a $7 million donation from Netflix CEO Reed Hastings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a little heartbreaking, because that’s the beginning, that’s not the last check,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/2018-governors-race\">Full Coverage of the 2018 Governor's Race\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/2018-governors-race\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/RS27686_Gov-Forum-qut-1180x1203.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who is endorsed by the California Teachers Association, has said that he supports good-quality charter schools, but that more oversight and transparency is needed.
