Independent expenditure committees funded by special interest groups are spending millions of dollars to make their picks in the California primary. In some races, they are clearly supporting or opposing candidates. In others, the strategy is more complicated.

Several California lawmakers are trying to bequeath their seats to relatives and staff members in the 2022 election.

McKinnor, a longtime community activist, is the best choice in the special election to fill a vacant Assembly seat and the regular election for the next term.

Last year, the state legislature eliminated single-family zoning and created a reparations task force. There are 24 Assembly seats up for grabs in L.A. County this year.

The California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) added another member to its roster last week. Former Suisun City Mayor Lori D. Wilson, a Democrat, was sworn into office April 6 to represent the 11th Assembly District.

Rick Caruso has made waves by loaning $10 million of his own money to his campaign. But his funding strategy is far from unique this year.
