The California lieutenant governor race is wide open, with three leading Democratic candidates and one Republican vying for the position. - Josh Fryday leads in fundraising with $4 million, backed by teachers unions and Governor Newsom.

- Fiona Ma faces sexual harassment allegations but has strong labor union endorsements. - Michael Tubbs focuses on affordability and has support from progressive Democrats.

- Republican Gloria Romero, a former Democrat, emphasizes transparency in higher education. The lieutenant governor sits on college governing boards, making higher education a key issue.
