California Assembly Democrats have showed some interest about their leader, Speaker Anthony Rendon, and whether he will be replaced.   Late last week, Assemblyman Robert Rivas, of the 30th Assembly District around Salinas, reportedly had enough Democratic votes in favor of his leadership of the Assembly. However, after a weekend of arm-twisting and meetings as well as deals of who will lead the Assembly in the future, a joint statement by both Speaker Rendon and Assemblyman Rivas was issued yesterday afternoon and it looks like Speaker Rendon will hold onto his seat for the rest of the legislative session, which seems to be through at least November.    To discuss further, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Kris Ankarlo, as well as Sonoma State Political Scientist, Dr. David McCuan, spoke with Dan Schnur, Professor of Politics at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Communications.

The drawing of battle lines over themes for this year's midterm elections among both Democrats and Republicans has picked up. The last few weeks have experienced many ups and downs in politics, most recently with another mass shooting and resulting calls for legislation from Sacramento to Washington, D.C. The back-and-forth over what any gun legislation would look like also reflects a clash over spending priorities and other themes we see shaping the midterms. Some Republicans have talked about social and cultural issues, while Democrats have noted the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion on abortion as a potential election theme. To assess these recent developments, KCBS Radio news anchors Margie Shafer and Kris Ankarlo spoke with Sonoma State political scientist David McCuan and guest Bob Mulholland, former senior advisor to the California Democratic Party and a member of the Democratic National Committee.

California's June 7th primary election is underway, even though technically, Election Day is not until four weeks from today. Voters are already receiving their ballots in the mail and can vote as soon as they get them, and there's a lot on that ballot to sort through. There's no real drama at the top of this ballot, where Governor Newsom faces a host of little-known challengers, one of whom will finish in the top two and win the right to face Newsom in November. The same is true in the U.S. Senate race, with incumbent Alex Padilla a prohibitive favorite to win a full term against one of his challengers in the general election this fall. But there are fiercely contested races for state Attorney General and Controller and even Insurance Commissioner, there are legislative and congressional races with a lot of new faces thanks to retirements and redistricting, and there's probably some confusion for voters because of those two elements. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Kris Ankarlo spoke with Doug Sovern, KCBS Radio political reporter and host of "The State of California."

This week marks an annual event in California politics: the governor's traditional announcement of what is called “The May Revise.” This is the real kickoff of budget season, where the Governor updates what has come into the state's coffers and where the maneuvering of future state spending really takes shape.   All of this has set forth the conditions for a political earthquake of sorts where we see much at stake in the May Revise numbers to be announced by May 15th.  For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Kris Ankarlo, along with Sonoma State political scientist David McCuan, spoke with guest Robb Korinke, communications strategist at Grassroots Labs and host of the podcast “California Battleground."

San Francisco faces a deadline to finish drawing its new district maps by tomorrow, and the normally rather routine process has blown up in controversy. Even in a city known for its volatile politics, this has been unprecedented, with over-the-top vitriol and public name-calling among elected officials San Francisco has 11 districts for supervisorial elections, and by tomorrow, the city's appointed redistricting task force has to finish the new maps, prompted by the 2020 census. The commission had a marathon meeting over the weekend, another one yesterday, and will come back tomorrow for one last session. However, these public meetings have been torn apart by acrimony, with members walking out in protest, swearing at one another, the public tearing into them for the maps they've proposed. In fact, two members of the Board of Supervisors going at it on Twitter, using unusually heated and graphic language. Whatever changes the task force ends up making to San Francisco's political map, are likely to be challenged in court. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Kris Ankarlo spoke with Doug Sovern, KCBS Radio political reporter and host of this segment.

Could California shorten the work week, creating a 4-day, 32-hour week for millions of California workers? That's the idea in the hopper in Sacramento, where state lawmakers are moving forward with a bill to require large companies to pay overtime, after their employees work 32 hours a week. It's been a dream of many workers for a long time, and now the changes in work habits since the pandemic began more than two years ago could make it a reality for many in California.

This week saw us enter the beginning of spring, and as California moves into another season of drought, we turn to concerns about the weather and how cities throughout the state can deal with the uncertainty around climate, fire, water, and potential risks here.   In early April, the California State Department of Water Resources (DWR) will conduct its final measure of the Sierra Nevada snowpack survey.

Russia has built up more than 150,000 troops on three sides of the Ukraine, and tensions have escalated with Vladimir Putin as the United States and NATO work to deter an invasion of Ukraine and surrounding regions. Today we turn our attention to the events unfolding there as a possible meeting between President Biden and Vladimir Putin could happen soon, after an initial meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov possibly later this week.   For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Kris Ankarlo and Megan Goldsby spoke to Sonoma State University professor and political scientist Dr. David McCuan (filling in today for State of California host Doug Sovern) and Kathryn Stoner, Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and professor of political science at Stanford University.
