Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has launched another bid for California governor, pitching himself as a “problem solver” in an announcement video.
“When I became mayor, L.A. was one of the most dangerous cities in America, so I hired a thousand police officers, took illegal guns off the street and violent crime dropped,” he said.
In the video, he noted that Barack Obama had called him “one of America’s finest leaders.”
He said later, “We have serious problems, and money alone won’t fix them. We need to focus on what works.”
The next gubernatorial election is not until 2026, but potential successors to Governor Gavin Newsom are lining up. Newsom cannot run again because of term limits.
Villaraigosa joins a field that includes Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, State Sen. Toni Atkins, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and former State Controller Betty Yee.

Adam Schiff’s Senate campaign announced a multimillion dollar, statewide ad buy for a spot that is most notable for who it singles out: Steve Garvey, the former Dodger great who is running as the highest profile Republican in a Democratic-dominated state.
In the spot, the narrator says, “Steve Garvey, the leading Republican, is too conservative for California — he voted for Trump, twice, and supported Republicans for years, including far right conservatives.
“Adam Schiff, the leading Democrat, defended democracy against Trump and the insurrectionists.”
Isn’t it to be expected that Schiff, one of the most prominent Trump foes in Congress, would want to highlight Garvey’s backing of the former Celebrity Apprentice host in the past two elections?
Perhaps, but these are the dynamics of an open primary, where the top two finishers in the March vote will go on to the general election, regardless of party.
