Election Update: The Governor’s Race
Joshua Fimbres
The California Democratic Convention took place this past weekend on April 16-18. The Convention nominated Jerry Brown as its 2010 candidate. Jerry Brown currently serves as Attorney General and has had a long career in politics. He has been Mayor of Oakland, Attorney General, a Presidential Candidate, Governor of California, and Democratic Party Chairman for the State of California. While on the pulpit, Brown challenged his Republican opponents Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner to a series of public debates. Currently, Brown is slightly behind in the polls and has a much smaller war chest than the leading Republican candidate, Meg Whitman. He argues those debates will level the playing field against immense spending that will be pitted against him.
