We already have a rich out of touch guy leading the country and it’s a disaster! These rich guys have no idea of what real Americans are experiencing.

NO rich out of touch billionaire with no legislative/governing experience as governor or of California !

He's being endorsed by some good, progressive organizations related to the environment/climate, housing.

I'm wary of another billionaire too.

I like Xavier Bacerra... he has the experience.

The Los Angeles Mayor race too... I'm underwhelmed by all of them.

His name is JB Pritzker, and he's actually pretty good at the job.

I'm just saying, it depends on the guy.
