Episode Description

We break down the latest twists in California's governor's race—why Eric Swalwell continues to dodge sustained scrutiny, whether Matt Mahan's big-money campaign is failing to translate into real support. Plus, our early predictions for where the race is headed.

We also dive into Oakland's growing debate over the strong mayor system, and Mayor Barbara Lee's new plan to tackle homelessness, plus a different take on the city celebrating Alysa Liu and Ryan Coogler.

Finally, we cover James Aguilar's appointment to the San Leandro City Council following Bryan Azevedo's resignation amid an FBI probe—and what it means for local governance moving forward.
