7. Antonio Villaraigosa (ex Los Angeles mayor) is still in the race

Sun Feb 22, 2026, 07:19 AM

Yesterday

I've seen tv ads for Steyer and Villaraigosa. Barbara Boxer and Mayor Karen Bass have endorsed Villaraigosa.

“Antonio Villaraigosa is the right leader at the right time to lead our state as governor and would make history as the first Latino to be elected Governor of California.”

— Barbara Boxer
Former United States Senator
Villaraigosa Campaign Co-Chair

“Since his days as an activist on the eastside of Los Angeles, to his trailblazing work as Speaker of the California Assembly, and his leadership making Los Angeles a global leader tackling climate change, Antonio Villaraigosa will bring that same passion and conviction to stand up to Donald Trump's attacks on our state and deliver needed results to improve the lives of millions of Californians.”
— Karen Bass
43rd Mayor of Los Angeles
