Economy, immigration drive California governor race
REDWOOD CITY, California (Reuters) – California’s dismal economy and fears the nation’s largest population of illegal immigrants are stealing scarce jobs are dominating a suddenly tight race for the Republican nomination for governor.
With a week and a half to go before primary election, billionaire Meg Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay Inc, is betting that her focused agenda of creating jobs, cutting government spending and “fixing” education in the most populous state will assure a victory.
Whitman has spent about $80 million and Poizner about $25 million, funded mostly by her private bank accounts, in a nasty contest to prove themselves fiscal and social conservatives. The contest let some voters confused.
Contractor Erin Lucien, attended both the events, said immigration was top of his mind and he now favored Poizner.
