Although he helped implement the Biden administration’s COVID-19 policies, including vaccine distribution, Becerra was often in the background, especially compared with Dr. Anthony Fauci.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His biggest challenge is that he did not serve in a particularly high profile way during his time in Biden’s cabinet, so he’d come into this race with a decided name recognition disadvantage,” said Dan Schnur, a USC political communications professor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, Schnur notes Becerra will benefit from his years as California’s AG.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During his time as attorney general, he got to know a lot of people statewide and a lot of different constituencies so his base might be less demographic and geographic than it is ideological,” Schnur said, adding Becerra’s true strength won’t be known until former Vice President Kamala Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026900/could-kamala-harris-shake-up-californias-governor-race-democrats-weigh-in\">decides if she’s running\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra said he’s in the race no matter who else jumps in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve put my sneakers on the starting block, and I’m in,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra, 67, is leaning on his resume in hopes of distinguishing himself from a growing field of Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I think I bring to this position as governor that no other candidate can is the executive experience of having been in the heat of this — in the kitchen at the hottest point — and having to deliver results,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beccera, who sued the Trump administration 120 times as attorney general, often successfully, enters a crowded Democratic field with Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, former Rep. Katie Porter, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, former state legislative leader Toni Atkins and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a conservative Republican, has also declared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, who returned to California when Trump was sworn in, has said she’ll decide whether to run by the end of summer. Becerra isn’t waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s California’s time to rise, and it makes no difference to me how many people are in the race. For me, the competition is — can I get to enough people to explain how my experience and my gut are going to serve as well as governor,” Beccera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED, Becerra said he didn’t necessarily have any “big ideas” to set him apart from the other candidates, saying he’s offering leadership that is prepared, focused and measured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when many Democrats say they want a fighter who will stand up against Republicans, Becerra acknowledges he’s not the type of politician who gives stem-winder speeches or creates viral moments on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am who I am. I’ve had pretty decent success being authentic. That’s not going to change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While not mentioning Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by name, Becerra faulted his successor as HHS secretary for not getting on top of the current measles outbreak, blaming it on a lack of preparation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we can’t afford are man-made disasters where you fire people simply because they’re workers for the federal government, or you stop doing cancer research simply because you don’t like the NIH,” Beccera said, referring to the National Institutes of Health. “The reality is, it’s California’s time to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We must rise to this challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Although he helped implement the Biden administration’s COVID-19 policies, including vaccine distribution, Becerra was often in the background, especially compared with Dr. Anthony Fauci.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His biggest challenge is that he did not serve in a particularly high profile way during his time in Biden’s cabinet, so he’d come into this race with a decided name recognition disadvantage,” said Dan Schnur, a USC political communications professor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, Schnur notes Becerra will benefit from his years as California’s AG.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During his time as attorney general, he got to know a lot of people statewide and a lot of different constituencies so his base might be less demographic and geographic than it is ideological,” Schnur said, adding Becerra’s true strength won’t be known until former Vice President Kamala Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026900/could-kamala-harris-shake-up-californias-governor-race-democrats-weigh-in\">decides if she’s running\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra said he’s in the race no matter who else jumps in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve put my sneakers on the starting block, and I’m in,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra, 67, is leaning on his resume in hopes of distinguishing himself from a growing field of Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I think I bring to this position as governor that no other candidate can is the executive experience of having been in the heat of this — in the kitchen at the hottest point — and having to deliver results,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beccera, who sued the Trump administration 120 times as attorney general, often successfully, enters a crowded Democratic field with Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, former Rep. Katie Porter, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, former state legislative leader Toni Atkins and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a conservative Republican, has also declared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, who returned to California when Trump was sworn in, has said she’ll decide whether to run by the end of summer. Becerra isn’t waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s California’s time to rise, and it makes no difference to me how many people are in the race. For me, the competition is — can I get to enough people to explain how my experience and my gut are going to serve as well as governor,” Beccera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED, Becerra said he didn’t necessarily have any “big ideas” to set him apart from the other candidates, saying he’s offering leadership that is prepared, focused and measured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when many Democrats say they want a fighter who will stand up against Republicans, Becerra acknowledges he’s not the type of politician who gives stem-winder speeches or creates viral moments on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am who I am. I’ve had pretty decent success being authentic. That’s not going to change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While not mentioning Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by name, Becerra faulted his successor as HHS secretary for not getting on top of the current measles outbreak, blaming it on a lack of preparation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we can’t afford are man-made disasters where you fire people simply because they’re workers for the federal government, or you stop doing cancer research simply because you don’t like the NIH,” Beccera said, referring to the National Institutes of Health. “The reality is, it’s California’s time to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We must rise to this challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

As governor, I won’t ever back down when Trump hurts Californians — whether he’s holding up disaster relief, attacking our rights or our communities, or screwing over working families to benefit himself and his cronies,” Porter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contest to replace \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/gavin-newsom\">term-limited Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom\u003c/a> already has lured a large scrum of announced and likely candidates that would be upended if Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026900/could-kamala-harris-shake-up-californias-governor-race-democrats-weigh-in\">decides to seek the state’s top office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, a former state attorney general and U.S. senator, has not ruled out seeking the governorship since she left Washington in January after a failed presidential bid. Porter is friendly with the former vice president and has indicated she would step aside if Harris joins the race. In 2012, Harris, then California’s attorney general, appointed Porter to be the state’s independent bank monitor in a multibillion-dollar nationwide mortgage settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Harris gets in the race “there are very few politicians who would want to take her on,” said Claremont McKenna College political scientist Jack Pitney. “She’d be likely to win the Democratic nomination and Democrats are likely to win the governorship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porter, who made an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate last year and also is known for her small-dollar fundraising prowess, becomes one of the best-known candidates, joining former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, among others, on the Democratic side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are expected to easily hold the seat in a state where they outnumber registered Republicans by nearly 2-to-1. Republicans have not won a statewide election in California in nearly two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the GOP side, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco last month became \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-governor-race-riverside-county-sheriff-9f251ca0f09a16344ae3902c7ffe009e\">the first major Republican\u003c/a> to announce a bid to replace Newsom, whose term runs through early January 2027. He blamed Democrats for the ongoing homelessness crisis and runaway housing prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12026900 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/GettyImages-2196870022-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if Harris gets in the race, the state’s open primary system can be unpredictable — all candidates appear on a single ballot, regardless of party, and only the top two vote-getters advance to the November general election. Trump-aligned candidates could enter on the GOP side, generating conservative interest, or a wealthy candidate could emerge with the funds to rattle the expected order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These open primaries are hard to handicap,” said Democratic consultant Andrew Acosta. “It just makes it harder to predict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porter, a progressive favorite, created an \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-senate-schiff-garvey-porter-democrats-b12c0742e3eca3a0784199b263ffed97\">online backlash\u003c/a> after losing the 2024 \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-politics-california-dianne-feinstein-united-states-senate-172759fa83faa0a70a2195a91dedb6f3\">Senate race\u003c/a>, when she faulted “billionaires spending millions to rig this election.” She finished third in the primary — behind Democrat and now-Sen. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/adam-schiff\">Adam Schiff\u003c/a> and Republican Steve Garvey — and did not advance to the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some likened her words to Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud in 2020. Porter later clarified her initial statement to say she didn’t believe the California vote count or election process had been compromised but she didn’t recant her earlier remarks. Rigged, she said in a follow-up, “means manipulated by dishonest means.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has been an active fundraiser since leaving her Southern California House district in January and returned to teaching at the UC Irvine School of Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A consumer protection attorney before her election to the House, Porter became known in Congress for her unsparing interrogations of business leaders and other committee witnesses, often using her whiteboard to break down complex figures while using plainspoken language to assail corporate greed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First elected to Congress in 2018, Porter said in her video that “I first ran for office to hold Trump accountable. I feel that same call to serve now to stop him from hurting Californians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Porter is friendly with the former vice president and has indicated she would step aside if Harris joins the race. In 2012, Harris, then California’s attorney general, appointed Porter to be the state’s independent bank monitor in a multibillion-dollar nationwide mortgage settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Harris gets in the race “there are very few politicians who would want to take her on,” said Claremont McKenna College political scientist Jack Pitney. “She’d be likely to win the Democratic nomination and Democrats are likely to win the governorship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porter, who made an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate last year and also is known for her small-dollar fundraising prowess, becomes one of the best-known candidates, joining former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, among others, on the Democratic side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are expected to easily hold the seat in a state where they outnumber registered Republicans by nearly 2-to-1.

Six years later, California’s coastal 47th Congressional District will once again play a key role in deciding control of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district, which includes the cities of Irvine, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, embodies the shift of socially liberal, suburban voters away from the Republican Party since the election of Donald Trump. However, streaks of conservatism remain in the electorate, and Democrats will seek victory here without the star power of the district’s incumbent congresswoman, Rep. Katie Porter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Among the competitive districts in California this year, it’s the only open seat,” said Eric McGhee, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California.[aside postID='elections_1950' label='2024 Voter Guide: California, Bay Area and National General Election' hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/09/Aside-California-Voter-Guide-2024-General-Election-1200x1200-1.png' herolink='https://www.kqed.org/voterguide']Instead of seeking a fourth term, Porter ran for the U.S. Senate and placed third in the March primary. Now, Democrats hope that Dave Min, a state senator, will be able to replicate Porter’s success against Republican Scott Baugh, a former state Assembly member who narrowly lost to Porter in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both candidates face significant hurdles: Baugh’s ties to Trump and some of the party’s conservative positions could turn off moderate voters, while Min must overcome a damaging DUI arrest that remains on voters’ minds. In this closely divided district, even small shifts in voter preferences could be decisive — Republicans currently hold a slim registration advantage of just 119 voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a more socially liberal bent to the district,” said political consultant Erica Kwiatkowski Nielsen, who managed Porter’s 2018 campaign. “But there is that traditional conservative values that you find in Orange County that people still adhere to … there’s a reason that [even] after Trump got elected and after 2018, this remains a battleground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2022 midterm results reflect the district’s split. Porter narrowly defeated Baugh by 3 percentage points despite outspending him significantly. In the same election, voters in the 47th supported Republican Brian Dahle for governor over Democratic incumbent Gavin Newsom. However, a ballot measure to enshrine reproductive rights into the California constitution won 61% of the vote here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The one thing that you’ve seen, which I think is really a part of the reason why we’re going to continue to see success for Democrats to continue to compete here, is the issue of choice and reproductive freedom,” Nielsen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Porter, Min is a former professor at the UC Irvine School of Law. He was elected to the state Senate in 2020. During his first term, Min largely voted with the Democratic supermajority, particularly on social issues. He’s been more likely to break with his caucus on legislation like rent protections and he recently declined to vote on a Newsom-backed bill regulating oil refineries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12009934\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12009934\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241017-Baugh-Min-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241017-Baugh-Min-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241017-Baugh-Min-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241017-Baugh-Min-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241017-Baugh-Min-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241017-Baugh-Min-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241017-Baugh-Min-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scott Baugh (left) and Dave Min. \u003ccite>(Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been strong on women’s reproductive rights, on gun safety, on climate,” Min told KQED in an interview. “And you’ll note that the Republican Party’s not attacking me on those issues, right?
