In November, California voters are set to decide their next Secretary of State. The person they choose will oversee the state's elections at a time when the Trump administration has tried to restrict mail-in voting, get states to hand over voter roll data, and place federal election monitors at polling sites. Shirley Weber is the incumbent in the race. She recently joined our podcast Political Breakdown and spoke with host Marisa Lagos.

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber's Pitch to Voters

California voters will soon start getting their ballots in the mail. County election offices have until next Monday, October 5th, to begin sending them out. Voters will have lots to decide on, including who will be the next governor, Democrat Xavier Becerra or Republican Steve Hilton. A recent UC Berkeley IGS poll puts Becerra in the lead by more than 25 points, and that lead is growing. But is the Democrat taking that lead for granted?
