I would have gone for Wikler myself. But Ken Martin can be the behind-the-scenes organizer of the party while Kamala Harris is the voice of the party. I hope that's the way things work.

I'm on your side, I watched all of her rallies online, every day of the DNC. I live in CA, I voted for Kamala for AG, Senator and VP. It's the rest of the country that refuses to elect a woman. Random dude? Newsom or Pritzger? "leaning into misogyny"? hardly. She would make a great CA Gov.
It wasn't a gender thing. No one was going to win in only 100 DAYS. But she got within 120k of doing just that in a year where incumbents were losing worldwide. She outperformed nearly all of them. If someone ALMOST wins a marathon on a broken leg you let them heal & sign them up for the next race.
I very much wish it could have been otherwise--I phonebanked my ear off for Harris--but at this exceedingly dangerous and critical point I think JB Pritzker needs to be the voice of the party.

You won't get that kind of excitement with some random white dude. We're not leaning into misogyny.
