The gubernatorial candidate who has bolstered in the polls after the Eric Swalwell scandal is stacking his campaign with Gavin Newsom allies and heavy hitters. Just 35 days out from California’s jungle primary race in June, Xavier Becerra is beefing up his staff as he seeks to advance to the November election and take on Trump-endorsed Steve Hilton and Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer, Politico’s California Playbook reported. The former Health and Human Services secretary under the Biden administration has reportedly hired Lindsey Cobia and Courtni Pugh, two political consultants who have worked with the current governor since 2015 and 2021, to serve as senior political advisers.
