I had no idea she was running for governor until she made headlines today. Newsom is term limited and 2026 will be his final year. Think her chances are better in this one than when she ran for Senate.

I still think that Gaza serves as a litmus test. If someone is wishy washy on it - as porter has been - they are not going to be a good progressive voice

Well I would start with his website. https://www.ramsey4gov.com/

I do think the idea of "how are they going to win" is part of what makes electoral politics so problematic, but you can make your own interpretations after you understand his background and platform.
