How are you voting in California's chaotic Governor's race?

On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing the California Governor’s race.

On June 2, voters will pick the top two candidates who will face off in November. We have a jungle primary in California, so if Democrats split the vote, we could have two Republicans at the top of the ticket.

What do you want to know about the candidates' policies? We'll also follow the money and learn more about campaign contributions.

Guests:

Sophia Bollag, politics reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle

Ben Paviour, California political power reporter for The Sacramento Bee’s Capitol Bureau

David Trujillo, executive director of ACLU California Action

Karuna Jaggar, California political director for the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund
