With less than five months until California 's primary election for governor, no candidate has emerged as the consensus choice of the most powerful force in state Democratic politics: organized labor. Attorney General Rob Bonta, a longtime labor ally, announced last week he would not run for governor, despite behind-the-scenes encouragement from many in the state's labor movement. His decision increased the likelihood that no single candidate will be able to consolidate labor support, even as a handful of unions have already made early endorsements.
