Opinion | This year’s election for governor of California barely resembles any of those within living memory. In decades past, a favored candidate or two would have emerged long before ballots went to voters, as they will this week. Now, six Democrats and two Republicans continue to fight it out. McClatchy Media’s California editorial board, which includes columnists and editors from The Sacramento Bee, The Modesto Bee, The Fresno Bee, Merced Sun-Star and The Tribune of San Luis Obispo, agrees unanimously on one thing: The next governor of California must be a Democrat. For us, that person is former Rep. Katie Porter. The majority of our board believes that Porter has the intellect, the understanding of the issues, the ability to communicate, see the big picture, and the boldness to fight the monied interests who need to be fought. She has the singular ability to uplift Californians struggling with how expensive and exclusive this state has become. We also believe that it is time that California elects its first woman governor, after nearly 180 years of electing men.
