As we look back over the year 2022 and forward to next year's elections in 2024, we see many themes shaping up. One recent constant, however, is how deeply blue the State of California is – yet we see voters who are also fiercely independent with pockets of red in other areas of the state. When we consider how the state is changing, where those changes are taking place, and how impactful these changes can be to the state in the near future, it is important to step back and assess what issues and policies will matter over the next year or so. While the Golden State has experienced highs and lows through recent times defined by many as challenges, disasters, Midterm elections, as well as the persistence of COVID, we are also seeing important changes going on in politics here. For more on this, Sonoma State Political Scientist Dr. David McCuan, along with KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart, spoke to the Chair of the California Democratic Party, Rusty Hicks.

It is Election Day in California, voting is underway in the attempt to recall Governor Newsom from office. There was a robust early voting turnout, and turnout has been strong at polling places around the state today, but not as much as some pundits expected. The polls suggest Governor Newsom will emerge victorious tonight, but we won't know for sure until the ballots are counted, we will have the first batch of returns shortly after 8:00 p.m. The prevailing wisdom has been that Republicans would turn out in force on Election Day itself, and that was their best hope for toppling Governor Newsom. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Jeff Bell, as well as, KCBS Radio political reporter and host of this segment, Doug Sovern spoke with Rusty Hicks.

Today's episode features Delaine Eastin, former Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, two term Superintendent of Public Instruction and now, candidate for California Democratic Party Chair. Eastin joins us to make the case for her campaign, acknowledging that unseating current party chair Rusty Hicks will be a heavy lift, but expressing the optimism that is a hallmark of all of her efforts. Eastin also weighs in on the debate over reopening schools, arguing that it not only needs to happen, it needs to happen as fast as possible for the benefit of the state's schoolchildren. She discounts "distance learning," noting that it is not possible for many of the state's children, especially those in lower income households or rural areas with lack of access to broadband. Getting back into class, she argues, is essential: for many kids, "going to school every day is what makes their life work."

California State Assemblyman, Kevin Kiley, shares his thoughts on Rusty Hicks speaking on the recall for governor Newsom.
