Candidates compete for schools chief, lieutenant governor
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Voters will choose California's next attorney general, lieutenant governor, schools chief and other statewide officeholders on Tuesday. The race for superintendent of public education is shaping up to be an expensive showdown between unions and charter-school advocates. Attorney General Xavier Becerra wants to stay in the job he was appointed to last year. In the contest for secretary of state, the incumbent Democrat Alex Padilla is hoping to hold onto his seat against a GOP challenger. Either candidate running for insurance commissioner will make history with a win.
