Some personal news: Today is my first day as a full-time employee at @politico. I'll still be covering California politics, now with a focus on tech policy. Send tips, story ideas and coffee invites my way at [email protected], and please add me to your press lists!

For the 2020 CA Capitol press corps: I just ran into @BuffyWicks at @Scott_Wiener’s campaign party and she brought her daughter Elly, of proxy voting scandal fame, who is now six years old!!!!

[Dustin Gardiner @dustingardiner]

Scott Wiener easily advances in House race to succeed Nancy Pelosi. Connie Chan is far ahead of Saikat Chakrabarti in battle for No. 2 spot in general election, but it's still too early to call

LA Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman fends off a challenge from fellow Democrat Jake Levine, who was running on a generational change message. With a Republican advancing in the 2nd spot, he's sitting pretty in a safe blue district

[Jeremy B. White @JeremyBWhite]

NEW: @Scott_Wiener advances in race to replace @SpeakerPelosi, piling up a huge lead early.

Pelosi-endorsed Connie Chan running well ahead of former AOC aide @saikatc for the second spot

What food does billionaire governor candidate @TomSteyer -- who spent ~$220M of his own cash on the campaign -- have at his election party tonight?

Strawberries, empanadas, chicken salad sliders, sesame noodles, antipasta kebabs, charcuterie boards, and ... a very nice espresso.

@daveweigel He had at least two identical (and squeaky-clean) pairs of these shoes on him at the CA Dem convention in February

Scoop: California labor regulators have certified the state's first union for Uber and Lyft drivers.

Now the SEIU-backed Gig Workers Union has a number of options for securing final approval to bargain with the rideshare giants. Read more in today's CA Playbook PM:

It's primary election day in California.

[Jeremy B. White @JeremyBWhite]

The great @alexanderburns on what Spencer Pratt’s ascendancy means for JD Vance:

Pratt’s AI-aided, viral channeling of voter discontent has him on the cusp of the runoff.

Will that formula work for Vance or other GOP hopefuls? One consideration:

NEW — The Xavier Becerra Playbook: exhaustive deliberation + then resolute (or stubborn) faith in his decisions. The polarizing approach won him loyal allies but also strained relationships in Congress, the White House and CA politics. Our team deep dive: https://t.co/CR8M9dmdZr
