California is in the spotlight as the Democratic National Convention begins today. The state has the largest number of delegates arriving in Chicago at nearly 500. That includes Governor Newsom and almost two dozen lawmakers. They will all be on the floor supporting Vice President Harris who will formally accept the party’s presidential nomination this week. Early voting here starts in October.
