San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan – still polling in single digits – has approximately $8.9 million on hand to spend in the gubernatorial primary campaign's home stretch, more than double any other candidate.

Scorecards for the two Republican and four Democratic candidates each showed a few strikes, some hits, but no home runs.

The Emerson College poll released last week, based on April 14-15 interviews, showed the biggest boost for Xavier Becerra, in contrast to the Mahan-sponsored poll released this week, based on April 8-12 interviews.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan didn’t get the immediate boost his campaign had hoped for in Rep. Eric Swallwell’s withdrawal as a candidate and a member of Congress, but the mayor did qualify for the stage at a critical statewide debate April 22.

Democrat Tom Steyer, a billionaire running for California governor, and his wife, Kat Taylor, reported a total annual income of $39 million, topping the list.

President Donald Trump endorsed Republican Steve Hilton, a former Fox News commentator, over Chad Bianco, the Riverside County sheriff, reducing the likelihood of a 1-2 GOP outcome in California's June 2 gubernatorial primary.

Democratic Party leaders must have breathed a little easier after Wednesday’s release of the latest statewide poll that showed two Democrats, Rep. Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer, gaining ground at the expense of Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan confirms reports he is considering joining the California governor's race. The June primary is just over four months away.
