State of California
Lieutenant Governor
This person is first in line to succeed the Governor and sits on the UC and CSU governing boards.
The Lieutenant Governor is first in line if the Governor cannot serve. Fiona Ma, a Democrat, and Gloria Romero, a Republican, advance to November 3. Michael Tubbs led in LA County. He finished fourth statewide.
Day to day this office is quiet, but it casts real votes on university tuition and governance through the UC and CSU boards — and for four years it's the understudy for the state's top job.
Think about who you'd trust in an emergency promotion — and how they'd vote on the cost of a public college degree.
Fiona Ma
Fiona Ma is a Democrat and a two-term State Treasurer, now termed out. She oversaw more than $65 billion in state bond sales. She chairs the state's affordable housing tax credit committee. She says she brings steady financial skill to housing and campus costs.
Gloria Romero
Gloria Romero is a Republican and an educator. She was the Democratic majority leader of the State Senate. She re-registered as a Republican in 2024. Her career focus is education, especially charter schools and parent choice. She led all Republicans statewide in June.

1Gloria Romero has no contributions reported to Cal-Access for this race.
2Figures are CA Form 460 filings through June 30, 2026 by committees controlled by each candidate, and can include transfers from a candidate's earlier committees. Semi-annual reports covering January–June 2026 were due July 31, 2026, so some totals lag a period behind. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-09-21.
3Gloria Romero has no itemized contributions dated after the June 2, 2026 primary reported to Cal-Access yet.
4Total is itemized (Schedule A) contributions and self-funding loans dated after the June 2, 2026 primary, through June 30, 2026 — small-dollar unitemized (under $100) contributions aren't independently dated in Cal-Access's raw export, so they aren't reflected here and this may undercount true small-donor activity since the primary. This also doesn't include money reported only on 24-hour late-contribution reports (Form 497) that haven't yet appeared in a periodic Form 460 filing. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-08-30.
