Jerry Brown sits down for a live one-hour debate with his Republican challenger, Neel Kashkari.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, I can offer a few viewing tips from my vantage point as the moderator of \u003ca href=\"http://www.calchannel.com/2014-gubernatorial-debate/\" target=\"_blank\">The California Debate: Race for Governor 2014 -- sponsored by KQED in partnership with the California Channel, the Los Angeles Times and Telemundo-52\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three journalists, including me, will ask the questions. Neither candidate will see any of the questions or topics in advance, and only a few others besides the three of us -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.telemundo52.com/tu-telemundo/Dunia-Elvir-225217262.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dunia Elvir\u003c/a> of Telemundo 52 and \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/lanews-jim-newton-20130507-staff.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Newton\u003c/a> of the Los Angeles Times -- have been working on the content. That's as it should be. Debates aren't a legitimate look at someone's qualifications for a big job like governor if candidates can't be prepared for anything that might come their way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what I'm looking for...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Under Pressure:\u003c/strong> Live television and radio can be intense, and a debate being broadcast across California (and nationally by C-SPAN) is about as intense as it gets. Kashkari, in his first-ever run for office, has never really formally debated; Brown has done it so many times that he probably can't even remember how many there have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be fair, Kashkari has faced some intense pressure before. The guy practically was dragged to Capitol Hill every time anyone wanted to gripe in 2008 and 2009 about \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/financial-stability/TARP-Programs/Pages/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">TARP\u003c/a>, the federal bank bailout he helped craft. But tonight's event casts a far wider net, with so many important issues facing California. Can he handle them all? Can he promote himself while also criticizing Brown? Can he adjust to the limiting environment of a small TV studio, the chair and podium, the off-camera lights signaling 15 seconds left to speak and time's up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Professor:\u003c/strong> For the governor, the big overarching question is whether he comes ready to debate ... or determined to lecture. Brown has a tendency to not only reach very deep (too deep?) into his grab bag of erudition, but as reporters know he can also be a little testy when he senses someone doesn't quite understand the issue at hand. Those traits can be a bit of a double-edged sword in a big political debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's The Memorable Moment?\u003c/strong> Debates often have two predictable elements to them -- sometimes in sync, sometimes not: the planned stunt or quip, and the unexpected sizzle. Candidates often come in with something that they think will make the 11 p.m. TV newscast, but that eagerness can sometimes lead them to forget to actually engage in the here and now, the give and take that debates are really all about. As moderator, my job is to try to keep them engaged with the subject matter ... and to discourage gimmicks. In this debate, we've made clear to the candidates that our expectations are for substance, not shtick. We've also made clear that I will, if needed, jump in and redirect Brown and Kashkari to actually answer the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Day's News:\u003c/strong> My fellow debate journalists and I have spent the better part of the past 10 days drafting questions and discussing which issues are paramount. But let's face it: Big news that impacts California's future will beg to be discussed. Based on this morning's headlines, I have some ideas of what topics will get folded into our list of questions ... but I'm not going to divulge them just yet. Suffice it to say that for all the preparation the governor and his challenger have been doing in private, the news of this Thursday may likely shape the way voters perceive their readiness for the next four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lasting Impact Or Flash In the Pan?\u003c/strong> And finally, does tonight's debate shape the race for governor in any discernible way over the next two months? It may not, but it certainly will give viewers and listeners their first chance to take stock of the record of Jerry Brown and the temperament and ideas of Neel Kashkari. There's been a lot of griping that this is the only scheduled debate between the two men between now and Nov. 4, and that's entirely fair; None of us involved in this broadcast think it should be the last time the two square off. Kashkari has asked for as many as 10 debates, and it's up to Brown to decide if he'll do this again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's also true, in the interest of full disclosure, that Brown's campaign insisted this week of September was the only time when the governor was willing to debate. The media partners picked the actual day and time without any input from outsiders, but Kashkari and his advisers are angry that Brown had so much leverage. Incumbents usually do have more heft -- and given \u003ca href=\"http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/local/new-york/2014/09/02/cuomo-says-debates-can-disservice-democracy/14992279/\" target=\"_blank\">the refusal to debate by another big-state governor facing a long-shot challenger\u003c/a> -- it's to Brown's credit that he's even doing any debate. The trick for Kashkari is to walk out of tonight's event with something that has staying power, some example of why California needs a new governor. For Brown, the trick is to walk away with as few political scratches as possible, and certainly no bruises that won't heal before Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Neither candidate will see any of the questions or topics in advance, and only a few others besides the three of us -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.telemundo52.com/tu-telemundo/Dunia-Elvir-225217262.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dunia Elvir\u003c/a> of Telemundo 52 and \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/lanews-jim-newton-20130507-staff.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Newton\u003c/a> of the Los Angeles Times -- have been working on the content. That's as it should be. Debates aren't a legitimate look at someone's qualifications for a big job like governor if candidates can't be prepared for anything that might come their way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what I'm looking for...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Under Pressure:\u003c/strong> Live television and radio can be intense, and a debate being broadcast across California (and nationally by C-SPAN) is about as intense as it gets. Kashkari, in his first-ever run for office, has never really formally debated; Brown has done it so many times that he probably can't even remember how many there have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be fair, Kashkari has faced some intense pressure before. The guy practically was dragged to Capitol Hill every time anyone wanted to gripe in 2008 and 2009 about \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/financial-stability/TARP-Programs/Pages/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">TARP\u003c/a>, the federal bank bailout he helped craft. But tonight's event casts a far wider net, with so many important issues facing California. Can he handle them all? Can he promote himself while also criticizing Brown? Can he adjust to the limiting environment of a small TV studio, the chair and podium, the off-camera lights signaling 15 seconds left to speak and time's up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Professor:\u003c/strong> For the governor, the big overarching question is whether he comes ready to debate ... or determined to lecture. Brown has a tendency to not only reach very deep (too deep?) into his grab bag of erudition, but as reporters know he can also be a little testy when he senses someone doesn't quite understand the issue at hand. Those traits can be a bit of a double-edged sword in a big political debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's The Memorable Moment?\u003c/strong> Debates often have two predictable elements to them -- sometimes in sync, sometimes not: the planned stunt or quip, and the unexpected sizzle. Candidates often come in with something that they think will make the 11 p.m. TV newscast, but that eagerness can sometimes lead them to forget to actually engage in the here and now, the give and take that debates are really all about. As moderator, my job is to try to keep them engaged with the subject matter ... and to discourage gimmicks. In this debate, we've made clear to the candidates that our expectations are for substance, not shtick. We've also made clear that I will, if needed, jump in and redirect Brown and Kashkari to actually answer the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Day's News:\u003c/strong> My fellow debate journalists and I have spent the better part of the past 10 days drafting questions and discussing which issues are paramount. But let's face it: Big news that impacts California's future will beg to be discussed. Based on this morning's headlines, I have some ideas of what topics will get folded into our list of questions ... but I'm not going to divulge them just yet. Suffice it to say that for all the preparation the governor and his challenger have been doing in private, the news of this Thursday may likely shape the way voters perceive their readiness for the next four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lasting Impact Or Flash In the Pan?\u003c/strong> And finally, does tonight's debate shape the race for governor in any discernible way over the next two months? It may not, but it certainly will give viewers and listeners their first chance to take stock of the record of Jerry Brown and the temperament and ideas of Neel Kashkari. There's been a lot of griping that this is the only scheduled debate between the two men between now and Nov. 4, and that's entirely fair; None of us involved in this broadcast think it should be the last time the two square off. Kashkari has asked for as many as 10 debates, and it's up to Brown to decide if he'll do this again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The media partners picked the actual day and time without any input from outsiders, but Kashkari and his advisers are angry that Brown had so much leverage. Incumbents usually do have more heft -- and given \u003ca href=\"http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/local/new-york/2014/09/02/cuomo-says-debates-can-disservice-democracy/14992279/\" target=\"_blank\">the refusal to debate by another big-state governor facing a long-shot challenger\u003c/a> -- it's to Brown's credit that he's even doing any debate. The trick for Kashkari is to walk out of tonight's event with something that has staying power, some example of why California needs a new governor. For Brown, the trick is to walk away with as few political scratches as possible, and certainly no bruises that won't heal before Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And yet his support remains relatively small, with some political observers arguing that Donnelly has limited appeal beyond core Republican voters.

And it's not as though he's not trying: the 40-year-old Newport Beach resident has been traveling the state for more than a year, he's released relatively substantive position papers on jobs and education (the latter coming just Tuesday), and it's hard to browse a California news or political website without seeing a \"Kashkari for Governor\" ad pop up on the screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, Brown seems to be unaffected by the increasing number of attacks being launched by either Kashkari or Donnelly; the PPIC poll finds 56 percent of likely voters think he's doing a good job as governor. That number is higher than his base support in PPIC's question about the actual primary election, but that may be because some voters don't feel the need to vote for Brown in June ... given he's assured a spot on the November ballot, and this is the first statewide June election in which all voters can vote for all candidates (\u003ca href=\"http://www.kcet.org/news/ballotbrief/election-law/californias-new-top-two-open-primaries-explained.html\" target=\"_blank\">with only the top two advancing to the fall ballot\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Kashkari can gain any traction with voters, education issues could be part of his arsenal. The PPIC poll, which is largely about how Californians view K-12 and higher education, shows Brown is on thinner ice with the electorate when it comes to schools. Just 33 percent of likely voters approve of his work on public schools. And on Tuesday, Kashkari released his thoughts on schools -- which, in a nutshell, are to send tax dollars to individual schools and let them pretty much do whatever they want with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty percent of adults polled by PPIC say the quality of education in California schools is a big problem, and 55 percent say have the same high level of worry about the state budget's treatment of schools. The governor's signature education reform -- last year's shift of more unrestricted dollars to English learners and students from low-income families -- draws support in this poll, but just 27 percent of those surveyed actually knew of the program by name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's support among Republicans, who may see him as the most moderate of the Democratic voices in Sacramento, is even higher when it comes to his approval numbers. 31 percent of GOP voters think he's doing a good job as governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measuring Brown's appeal among Republicans depends, of course, on whether any given poll has a reasonably sized sample of GOP voters. Only 28 percent of California voters polled by PPIC identified themselves as Republican, with 44 percent as Democrats and 22 percent as independents. That's pretty much in line with official voter registration stats, but it might be an undersampling for the June election, where historically GOP turnout has been strong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no one knows that a larger Republican sampling would have meant anything different ... and so, for now, these numbers raise some interesting questions. Can Kashkari, who has only about a third of the support of Donnelly, keep bashing Jerry Brown and hope to make it to the November ballot? Or does he have to start attacking the GOP frontrunner?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can Donnelly win enough of the huge 58 percent of undecided GOP primary voters in the PPIC poll to emerge victorious?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, perhaps most fascinating ... will even more Republicans decide that, absent a better choice, they'll cast a vote on June 3 for one of the most iconic Democrats in California history? This poll suggests that's not the craziest idea out there.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown (Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a move that probably surprises no one, Gov. Jerry Brown announced Thursday that he'll seek re-election this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On \u003ca href=\"http://www.jerrybrown.org/announcement\" target=\"_blank\">his campaign website\u003c/a> he touted bringing California back from a financial abyss -- turning around a $27 billion deficit in just four years, with the state now boasting a surplus. He cited other achievements such as passage of the state's DREAM Act, $10 billion in additional funding for schools and moves to reform the prison system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brown also said the state faces underfunded pension and health care plans, long-deferred maintenance to infrastructure and a severe drought. From Brown's website:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>At this stage of my life, I can say — without any hesitation — that I am prepared and excited to tackle these challenges and the many others that lay before us. In fact, there is nothing I would rather do. So today, I have taken out the papers to run for re-election.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Brown's two principal opponents in the fall are Republicans Neel Kashkari, a former Treasury Department official who oversaw the launch of the federal government's financial sector rescue in 2008-09, and Tim Donnelly, a Southern California Assembly member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown will turn 76 in April. He was the youngest governor in California history when elected to the first of two consecutive terms in 1974. He became the oldest when elected in 2010 after a long hiatus during which he ran for president and served as mayor of Oakland and state attorney general. If he wins re-election to a fourth term this year, he'll extend his record as California's longest-serving governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the full statement from his website below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To my fellow citizens of California:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four years ago, I asked that you support my candidacy for governor based on my bringing an “insider’s knowledge but an outsider’s mind” to fix the budget breakdown and overcome Sacramento’s poisonous partisanship. Now, four years later, a $27 billion deficit has become a surplus and our credit rating and public confidence are rising. State budgets are not only balanced but they are on time and free of the rancor of past years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I said that I would work with both Democrats and Republicans, oil companies and environmentalists, unions and business, and I have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I pledged that there would be no smoke and mirrors in the budget, and there aren’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I promised that there would be no new taxes unless you the people voted for them, and you did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also said that we would return decisions and authority to local government and schools, and we have -- through Prison Realignment and the Local Control Spending Formula for schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal was to get California working again -- both its government and its overall economy, and that is happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For our schools, where once there were thousands of layoffs and widespread elimination of arts and science programs, there is now local control, new hiring and restoration of programs -- $10 billion in additional funds this year alone. As for health care, millions of Californians will now either be covered for the first time or enjoy more affordable and better plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Congress failing to reform immigration laws, California acted on its own, passing the Dream Act, making drivers’ licenses available and protecting immigrants from employer retaliation or being deported for minor offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the recession, California created a million new jobs, raised the minimum wage, and reformed workers compensation to increase benefits and cut costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than a fivefold increase in the prison population, California has now embraced a series of major reforms that place responsibility and funding for lower level offenders with local governments. As a result, the prison population is down dramatically and significant funding is going to treatment and rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, of course, there is much more to do. The many laws that have been passed need oversight and wise administration. Despite the passage of solid pension reform, our pension and retiree health care plans remain underfunded. And California still faces huge liabilities in the form of long deferred maintenance of our roads and public buildings. In short, the current budget surplus, if it is to endure, requires vigilance and a resolute will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this stage of my life, I can say -- without any hesitation -- that I am prepared and excited to tackle these challenges and the many others that lay before us. In fact, there is nothing I would rather do. So today, I have taken out the papers to run for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you had asked me 40 years ago -- when I first ran for governor--what I would be doing in 2014, I could never have guessed. Nor could anyone else. Yet, by the grace of God and habits of perseverance instilled in me by my family, the Dominican nuns and the Jesuits, I am here and ready to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We live in unprecedented times. The tasks ahead are not simple or mundane. The climate itself is changing, threatening catastrophic and irreversible damage to the oceans and natural systems on which human beings and other forms of life depend. In many respects, California is leading the way and we will continue to do so by encouraging many kinds of innovation and by joining with other states and nations. But this is a global problem and only by acting both locally and globally do we have any chance of reducing the unrelenting increase of heat-trapping gasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is now formally committed to obtaining at least one third of its electricity from renewable sources. We are also building the nation’s only high speed rail system and linking it closely with improved local and regional rails systems. Finally, California is strongly encouraging electric and other low emission vehicles, along with better land use to get people and jobs closer together. In all these endeavors, my goal is to decrease the use of fossil fuels while fostering vibrant communities and a sustainable environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current drought is a portent of weather to come. It should awaken us to the actions we need to take this year and in the years to follow. Water is more than a resource. It is a vital and fundamental element of our wellbeing. In the next few years, we need to make solid progress in managing our water both above and below the ground. I pledge my full commitment to bringing all the disparate parties together and working to achieve sensible, scientific and sustainable water policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is known for its brilliant innovation and Nobel Prizes. Yet, millions of our families are struggling and too many men and women cannot find work or the living wages they deserve. My policy is to encourage both new jobs and to protect workers’ rights and environmental values. Balance here is key but what constitutes balance is contested on all sides. I won’t make everyone happy every time but I will listen and I will seek to find the best and fairest way forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve lived here my whole life. I love this state and will do my utmost to enable California to keep faith with its past and pave the way for a future as bold as our forebears would expect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Respectfully,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerry Brown\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

He cited other achievements such as passage of the state's DREAM Act, $10 billion in additional funding for schools and moves to reform the prison system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brown also said the state faces underfunded pension and health care plans, long-deferred maintenance to infrastructure and a severe drought.

He was the youngest governor in California history when elected to the first of two consecutive terms in 1974. He became the oldest when elected in 2010 after a long hiatus during which he ran for president and served as mayor of Oakland and state attorney general.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the full statement from his website below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To my fellow citizens of California:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four years ago, I asked that you support my candidacy for governor based on my bringing an “insider’s knowledge but an outsider’s mind” to fix the budget breakdown and overcome Sacramento’s poisonous partisanship. Now, four years later, a $27 billion deficit has become a surplus and our credit rating and public confidence are rising. State budgets are not only balanced but they are on time and free of the rancor of past years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I said that I would work with both Democrats and Republicans, oil companies and environmentalists, unions and business, and I have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I pledged that there would be no smoke and mirrors in the budget, and there aren’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I promised that there would be no new taxes unless you the people voted for them, and you did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also said that we would return decisions and authority to local government and schools, and we have -- through Prison Realignment and the Local Control Spending Formula for schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal was to get California working again -- both its government and its overall economy, and that is happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For our schools, where once there were thousands of layoffs and widespread elimination of arts and science programs, there is now local control, new hiring and restoration of programs -- $10 billion in additional funds this year alone. As for health care, millions of Californians will now either be covered for the first time or enjoy more affordable and better plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Congress failing to reform immigration laws, California acted on its own, passing the Dream Act, making drivers’ licenses available and protecting immigrants from employer retaliation or being deported for minor offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the recession, California created a million new jobs, raised the minimum wage, and reformed workers compensation to increase benefits and cut costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than a fivefold increase in the prison population, California has now embraced a series of major reforms that place responsibility and funding for lower level offenders with local governments. As a result, the prison population is down dramatically and significant funding is going to treatment and rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, of course, there is much more to do. The many laws that have been passed need oversight and wise administration. Despite the passage of solid pension reform, our pension and retiree health care plans remain underfunded. And California still faces huge liabilities in the form of long deferred maintenance of our roads and public buildings. In short, the current budget surplus, if it is to endure, requires vigilance and a resolute will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this stage of my life, I can say -- without any hesitation -- that I am prepared and excited to tackle these challenges and the many others that lay before us. In fact, there is nothing I would rather do. So today, I have taken out the papers to run for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you had asked me 40 years ago -- when I first ran for governor--what I would be doing in 2014, I could never have guessed. Nor could anyone else. Yet, by the grace of God and habits of perseverance instilled in me by my family, the Dominican nuns and the Jesuits, I am here and ready to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We live in unprecedented times. The tasks ahead are not simple or mundane. The climate itself is changing, threatening catastrophic and irreversible damage to the oceans and natural systems on which human beings and other forms of life depend. In many respects, California is leading the way and we will continue to do so by encouraging many kinds of innovation and by joining with other states and nations. But this is a global problem and only by acting both locally and globally do we have any chance of reducing the unrelenting increase of heat-trapping gasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is now formally committed to obtaining at least one third of its electricity from renewable sources. We are also building the nation’s only high speed rail system and linking it closely with improved local and regional rails systems. Finally, California is strongly encouraging electric and other low emission vehicles, along with better land use to get people and jobs closer together. In all these endeavors, my goal is to decrease the use of fossil fuels while fostering vibrant communities and a sustainable environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current drought is a portent of weather to come. It should awaken us to the actions we need to take this year and in the years to follow. Water is more than a resource. It is a vital and fundamental element of our wellbeing. In the next few years, we need to make solid progress in managing our water both above and below the ground. I pledge my full commitment to bringing all the disparate parties together and working to achieve sensible, scientific and sustainable water policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is known for its brilliant innovation and Nobel Prizes. Yet, millions of our families are struggling and too many men and women cannot find work or the living wages they deserve. My policy is to encourage both new jobs and to protect workers’ rights and environmental values. Balance here is key but what constitutes balance is contested on all sides. I won’t make everyone happy every time but I will listen and I will seek to find the best and fairest way forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve lived here my whole life. I love this state and will do my utmost to enable California to keep faith with its past and pave the way for a future as bold as our forebears would expect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Respectfully,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerry Brown\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

File photo. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Neel Kashkari doesn’t have an obvious resume to run for California governor. He distributed hundreds of billions of dollars to the very banks that created the 2008 economic crisis. He did it working for a president with record-low approval ratings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not exactly popular stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the first-time Republican candidate says his tenure running the federal government's Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, is proof he can handle tough, unpleasant jobs. And he’s set his sights on another one, this time in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, though, comes the tough and at times unpleasant job of actually running for governor. Kashkari traveled from Southern California to suburban Sacramento on a recent weekend to speak to the California Federation of Republican Women. The Sunday morning candidate forum was the type of grassroots outreach event that he’ll repeat hundreds of times over the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Kashkari walked to the front of the room to begin his speech, the moderator informed him he had just four minutes to talk. That wasn’t a problem for Kashkari, who launched right into his pitch. “I’m running for governor to challenge Gov. Brown, to beat Gov. Brown,” he told the crowd. “To fix our schools so kids get a good education. To put Californians back to work, and to break the cycle of poverty. “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The most controversial program … in American history”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari has been practicing and honing his very focused message for more than a month now. His answers are near-identical from interview to interview. So, he was also ready when someone in the audience asked the question everyone following the Kashkari campaign is wondering: “How are we going to keep you electable with the TARP bailout?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari doesn’t deny that TARP isn’t too popular. “So, I ran the most controversial program in economic policy in American history,” he responded. “I was the guy in charge of stabilizing the U.S. economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an assistant Treasury secretary, he helped save the financial sector after the banks’ risky lending put the country on the verge of a depression. Injecting hundreds of billions of dollars into the very institutions that caused the crisis wasn’t a feel-good policy. But Kashkari told his audience that -- believe it or not -- TARP is a success story. “I’m proud to tell you we got every dollar back, and we made a $13 billion profit for the taxpayers. There’s no program in American history that ever did that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During our interview, I pointed out that most of his public appearances involved being screamed at for hours by congressmen. “That’s true,” he said. “Look, it was very controversial. Sometimes when you have to make big changes, you have to do things that upset people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari said that experience makes him the right man to implement big, tough changes here in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Attacking Brown\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how many big changes do Californians want? There’s no question the state’s finances are better off than when Gov. Jerry Brown took office. California has gone from a catastrophic $25 billion deficit to a $4 billion surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The budget being balanced? (Brown is) claiming credit for the fact that the stock market went up last year. He had nothing to do with that,” Kashkari responded. “And the major structural problems with our budget are completely unchanged. We still have over $500 billion in unfunded liabilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown has paid off billions in long-term debt and repeatedly warned about California’s looming liability problems, like pension obligations. But the governor has yet to offer a concrete solution for how to fix them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari’s main attack against Brown so far is on one of the governor’s top priorities: the $68 billion high-speed rail line that would run between San Francisco and Los Angeles. As the rail project has run into legal hurdle after legal hurdle, Kashkari has taken to channeling Ozzy Osbourne and calling it “the crazy train.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The crazy train is not what the voters voted for in the ballot measure,” he said. “They voted for something that cost a lot less and went a lot faster. … And in light of our other priorities, it makes no sense today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Similar policies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond that, though, many of the proposals Kashkari is putting forward aren’t too much of a radical departure from Brown’s agenda. On his “jobs” plank, Kashkari wants to expand oil and gas drilling in California. “If we pursued oil and gas development while protecting the environment, we’re literally talking about creating hundreds of thousands of jobs,” he said. “What is Gov. Brown doing? He’s looking at it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California is already one of the top oil-producing states in the country (it’s No.3). The state could be on the verge of an even bigger oil boom due to hydraulic fracturing – or fracking – technology. And Brown has voiced support for the practice, opposing new taxes and moratoriums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fracking regulation law Brown signed last year requires much more public disclosure from drillers on when, where and how they’re injecting water and chemicals deep underground. But it didn’t do anything to slow the practice down, to the point where environmental activists now regularly picket Brown’s public events to heckle him for signing it. “This is not about just saying ideologically yay or nay,” Brown said last year. “It’s about looking at what could be a fabulous opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On education, Kashkari wants to let local school districts make more decisions, as opposed to the state. Again, Brown agrees. During his State of the State address, he touted a landmark law he signed last year eliminating many of the Sacramento mandates for how money gets spent. “This puts the responsibility where it has to be: in the classroom and at the local district.” Brown said. “With 6 million students, there’s no way the state can micromanage teaching and learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari isn’t impressed. “If we were ranked top 10, wanting to get to top five, Gov. Brown’s tinkering would be fine. We’re 46\u003csup>th. \u003c/sup>I’m not going to sit here and take the 50-year plan Gov. Brown has come up with.” (Kashkari’s rankings come from a federal study.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I didn’t see a bench'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Washington, Kashkari had one of the most thankless, high-pressure jobs you could ever imagine. After he stepped down, he spent a year unwinding in the mountains. So why does Kashkari want to run for governor in a heavily Democratic state?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari said he began thinking about it after Democrats picked up super-majorities in 2012. “The Republican Party was really suffering, nationally and in the state. Someone had to work and someone had to fight to turn it around,” he said. I started looking around and saying, 'Who’s going to lead that fight?' And I didn’t see a bench. I didn’t see people who I thought could go credibly challenge Gov. Brown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari may not see any credible candidates, but in grassroots groups like the California Federation of Republican Women, many love the other Republican in the race. Tea Party favorite, Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, from San Bernardino County, has made his name protesting illegal immigration and sticking up for gun rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donnelly, R-Hesperia, spoke before Kashkari at the recent Sunday morning forum. “As your governor, the very first thing I will do is put a moratorium on all new restrictions on your business,” he told the applauding crowd. “On your freedom and on your constitutional civil rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several people gave Donnelly a standing ovation as he finished his pitch. As for Kashkari, it was clear he had some work to do. Many of the women I interviewed weren’t aware he was running. Another called him “Kim Kashberg.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Kashkari did make a good first impression on the group -- many said they wanted to hear more from him. And what he may lack in grassroots energy, he makes up for in establishment support: Kashkari banked nearly $1 million during his first few weeks of fundraising. Donnelly, on the other hand, has less than $20,000 in cash on hand.\u003c/p>\n\n",

His answers are near-identical from interview to interview. So, he was also ready when someone in the audience asked the question everyone following the Kashkari campaign is wondering: “How are we going to keep you electable with the TARP bailout?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari doesn’t deny that TARP isn’t too popular. “So, I ran the most controversial program in economic policy in American history,” he responded. “I was the guy in charge of stabilizing the U.S. economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an assistant Treasury secretary, he helped save the financial sector after the banks’ risky lending put the country on the verge of a depression. Injecting hundreds of billions of dollars into the very institutions that caused the crisis wasn’t a feel-good policy. But Kashkari told his audience that -- believe it or not -- TARP is a success story. “I’m proud to tell you we got every dollar back, and we made a $13 billion profit for the taxpayers. There’s no program in American history that ever did that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During our interview, I pointed out that most of his public appearances involved being screamed at for hours by congressmen. “That’s true,” he said. “Look, it was very controversial. Sometimes when you have to make big changes, you have to do things that upset people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari said that experience makes him the right man to implement big, tough changes here in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Attacking Brown\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how many big changes do Californians want? There’s no question the state’s finances are better off than when Gov. Jerry Brown took office. California has gone from a catastrophic $25 billion deficit to a $4 billion surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The budget being balanced? (Brown is) claiming credit for the fact that the stock market went up last year. He had nothing to do with that,” Kashkari responded. “And the major structural problems with our budget are completely unchanged. We still have over $500 billion in unfunded liabilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown has paid off billions in long-term debt and repeatedly warned about California’s looming liability problems, like pension obligations. But the governor has yet to offer a concrete solution for how to fix them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari’s main attack against Brown so far is on one of the governor’s top priorities: the $68 billion high-speed rail line that would run between San Francisco and Los Angeles. As the rail project has run into legal hurdle after legal hurdle, Kashkari has taken to channeling Ozzy Osbourne and calling it “the crazy train.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The crazy train is not what the voters voted for in the ballot measure,” he said. “They voted for something that cost a lot less and went a lot faster. … And in light of our other priorities, it makes no sense today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Similar policies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond that, though, many of the proposals Kashkari is putting forward aren’t too much of a radical departure from Brown’s agenda. On his “jobs” plank, Kashkari wants to expand oil and gas drilling in California. “If we pursued oil and gas development while protecting the environment, we’re literally talking about creating hundreds of thousands of jobs,” he said. “What is Gov. Brown doing? He’s looking at it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California is already one of the top oil-producing states in the country (it’s No.3). The state could be on the verge of an even bigger oil boom due to hydraulic fracturing – or fracking – technology. And Brown has voiced support for the practice, opposing new taxes and moratoriums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fracking regulation law Brown signed last year requires much more public disclosure from drillers on when, where and how they’re injecting water and chemicals deep underground. But it didn’t do anything to slow the practice down, to the point where environmental activists now regularly picket Brown’s public events to heckle him for signing it. “This is not about just saying ideologically yay or nay,” Brown said last year. “It’s about looking at what could be a fabulous opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On education, Kashkari wants to let local school districts make more decisions, as opposed to the state. Again, Brown agrees. During his State of the State address, he touted a landmark law he signed last year eliminating many of the Sacramento mandates for how money gets spent. “This puts the responsibility where it has to be: in the classroom and at the local district.” Brown said. “With 6 million students, there’s no way the state can micromanage teaching and learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari isn’t impressed. “If we were ranked top 10, wanting to get to top five, Gov. Brown’s tinkering would be fine. We’re 46\u003csup>th. \u003c/sup>I’m not going to sit here and take the 50-year plan Gov. Brown has come up with.” (Kashkari’s rankings come from a federal study.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I didn’t see a bench'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Washington, Kashkari had one of the most thankless, high-pressure jobs you could ever imagine. After he stepped down, he spent a year unwinding in the mountains. So why does Kashkari want to run for governor in a heavily Democratic state?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari said he began thinking about it after Democrats picked up super-majorities in 2012. “The Republican Party was really suffering, nationally and in the state. Someone had to work and someone had to fight to turn it around,” he said. I started looking around and saying, 'Who’s going to lead that fight?' And I didn’t see a bench. I didn’t see people who I thought could go credibly challenge Gov. Brown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari may not see any credible candidates, but in grassroots groups like the California Federation of Republican Women, many love the other Republican in the race. Tea Party favorite, Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, from San Bernardino County, has made his name protesting illegal immigration and sticking up for gun rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donnelly, R-Hesperia, spoke before Kashkari at the recent Sunday morning forum. “As your governor, the very first thing I will do is put a moratorium on all new restrictions on your business,” he told the applauding crowd. “On your freedom and on your constitutional civil rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several people gave Donnelly a standing ovation as he finished his pitch. As for Kashkari, it was clear he had some work to do. Many of the women I interviewed weren’t aware he was running. Another called him “Kim Kashberg.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And what he may lack in grassroots energy, he makes up for in establishment support: Kashkari banked nearly $1 million during his first few weeks of fundraising. Donnelly, on the other hand, has less than $20,000 in cash on hand.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
