California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis announced her candidacy for the state's 2026 gubernatorial election to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The California governor hedges his bet on Joe Biden running again.
California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, a Democrat, announced she is running in the 2026 governor's race.. She was the first woman elected as lieutenant governor in 2018, when she succeeded Newsom, but not the first woman to hold the position, as Mona Pasquil was appointed acting lieutenant governor in 2009.
"As a proud mother, daughter, advocate, and leader, I know the struggles Californians face and have the experience and grit to bring meaningful change to our state," she wrote on Instagram."I will fight fiercely to build a future where everyone — regardless of race, class, or immigration status — has the same opportunity that my family and I had."
