3. The primary is 10 months away

Any lead a candidate may have can disappear quickly. Right now, those leading are the ones with name recognition but as it gets closer to primary election day people will begin to pay closer attention to whose who and where they stand.

I like Katie Porter and I liked the way she fought in the House. However, during a statewide election she's going to have to not be as aggressive mainly because she'll be labeled as a "complaining woman." Misogynistic, but that they game the republic party plays.

Right now, I'm supporting Toni Atkins. She represented my city in the State Assembly and State Senate and she knows the ins-and-outs of state government. However, I'm open to other candidates.
