Debate for California Governor Faces Criticism Over Exclusion of Candidates of Color Former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and other candidates of color criticized the University of Southern California (USC) and ABC7 Los Angeles for excluding all candidates of color from an upcoming gubernatorial debate scheduled for March 24. The debate, featuring six candidates, includes newly entered, well-funded white candidate San José Mayor Matt Mahan, while excluding established Democrats of color such as Becerra, former State Controller Betty Yee, State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Becerra called the exclusion a deliberate attempt to manipulate voter perception and likened it to historical discrimination practices. USC stated that a political science professor independently developed the debate inclusion criteria based on polling and fundraising, which the Center for the Political Future said had not changed since the forum was planned. The methodology’s ambiguity regarding fundraising reports and the inclusion of late donations has raised questions about fairness, especially since Mahan’s late entry allowed him to benefit from significant financial backing. Republican candidates Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton, along with Democrats Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, and Mahan, are scheduled to appear. The controversy highlights ongoing concerns about racial bias and fairness in California’s gubernatorial election process, with multiple excluded candidates calling for transparency and equitable treatment in debate participation.

Rising Electricity Costs Strain New Jersey: Gubernatorial Candidates Weigh In New Jersey's electricity costs have surged by 40% over recent years, prompting concerns among residents and business owners, leading gubernatorial candidates Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill to weigh in on potential solutions. As the state's reliance on external energy sources becomes increasingly important due to its connection to the PJM grid, the candidates are debating strategies for reducing costs, including increasing in-state electricity generation, diversifying energy sources, and exploring innovative technologies like small modular reactors. With a state of emergency declaration proposed by Sherrill as a potential solution, the debate over how to address the crisis is gaining traction ahead of the November election.

Do you live in New Jersey? All hands on deck for Mikie, please. Nick Sacco, a prominent NJ democrat has come out for MAGA Jack! This is such a betrayal. He has a lot of clout, and this is blasphemous to all Democrats. #NJ #gubernatorialelection #VoteBlue #MikieSherrill

Rising electricity costs intensify New Jersey gubernatorial election As New Jersey gears up for its gubernatorial election, a contentious issue is at the forefront: rising electricity costs. Recent data shows that residents' bills increased by 17% to 20% in June 2025, with industry experts pointing to a decline in power supply, permitting delays, and increased demand from data centers as key factors contributing to the surge. The state's complex energy pricing structures and market volatility are also taking a toll on consumers, making it a pressing concern for senior voters and a focal point of the campaign between gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli and his opponents.
