    SF Chronicle endorses Katie Porter for California governor https://archive.is/irGhL (They also say Matt Mahan would be a good choice, but it's Porter's picture at the top of the article.)

      I also prefer Katie Porter and she's a viable candidate so it's not a risky vote, but what a nightmare if California ends up with another Republican Governor.

      Many Democratic voters will no doubt hold their nose and pick either Steyer or Becerra to avoid having two Republicans win California’s “jungle primary.”
      This is indeed cause for concern.

      Having already voted, I find myself much more relaxed about all the political noise.
