CA-GOV: Becerra, Steyer Tie For Democratic Lead In Governor's Race Following Endorsements

Xavier Becerra’s popularity shot up following endorsements from 15 state assembly members, and he and Steyer, who was endorsed by Betty Yee Tuesday, are now tied for the Democratic lead in the governor’s race.

Following her departure from the governor’s race Monday, former state Controller Betty Yee is endorsing Tom Steyer for California governor, citing his commitment to protecting the environment and championing democracy, as KRON4 reports.

“I think people confuse the fact that if you have progressive values that you can’t be pragmatic and deliver,” said Yee, “but they’re actually one in the same, and if you can really intertwine those, that’s impact.”

Steyer said he hopes to collaborate with Yee in the future.
