Who'll be AG?

Non-profit executive Sara Hernandez, a former aide to Los Angeles city councilmember Jose Huizar, on Tuesday entered the race to replace state attorney general nominee Xavier Becerra in the House, joining assemblyman Jimmy Gomez and Arturo Carmona, a former political strategist for Sen. Bernie Sanders, in the competition. Hernandez said she had raised more than $150,000 since she began fundraising last week, according to the LA Times. LA city councilmembers Gil Cedillo and David Ryu and school board member Monica Garcia are also believed to be considering runs; former assembly speaker John A. Pérez, the first to announce, has already dropped out. “The special election would probably be held no earlier than spring 2017, though the law gives the governor wide discretion in setting the schedule," says the Times.
