SACRAMENTO — Across America, 53 women have served as state governors. But not one in California. What gives? Aren’t we supposed to be enlightened out here in this cutting-edge state?
In fact, 14 women currently are governors in all sorts of states — north, south, flyover and Pacific coast. Big, midsize and small. Red, blue and purple.
We stand out with a huge black mark.
Voters have a chance to erase the ugly spot this year with Katie Porter in position to possibly be elected California’s first female governor.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying Porter should be elected just because she’s a woman.
