Commentary: California’s super-rich conquered the world, but not always the voters

On a clear evening in Los Angeles, a fundraiser can fill a garden with people whose companies are household names on three continents, while a few miles away a city council race turns on potholes, rents, and a school bond. That contrast is the quiet drama of the California super-rich. Their products shape how the world works, shops, and talks. Their checks can flood a campaign. Their names open doors in capitals far from Sacramento. Yet California voters have repeatedly shown that fortune is not a proxy, and that economic reach does not guarantee a winning argument at the polling place.

'Everyday Courage' event promotes California arts, humanities

A big event Tuesday night in Los Angeles will lift up arts and culture, history and the humanities. The theme is “ Everyday Courage .” The nonprofit California Humanities will present its Spirit of the Humanities Awards. Ann Burroughs, president and CEO of the Japanese American National Museum, will receive the award for Courageous Leadership. She said California's postwar mistreatment of Japanese Americans remains highly relevant today. "It's critically important that we not only know the history but we understand history, because if we don't know what the lessons of history are, then they can so easily be repeated," Burroughs explained. The evening’s featured speaker will be playwright and filmmaker Luis Valdez, founder of El Teatro Campesino, which helped spread the word about strikes and marches by Chicano farmworkers in the 1960s. PBS currently features a documentary on the subject, called "American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez." Sen. Ben Allen, D-El Segundo, will be honored as the legislative champion for his support of the film industry and arts education.

Incumbent Derek Tran (D) defeated Chuong Vo (R) in the general election for California's 45th Congressional District

Incumbent Derek Tran (D) defeated Chuong Vo (R) in the general election for California's 45th Congressional District on November 3, 2026. The election took place in the context of redistricting that changed the boundaries of the 45th District from those used in the 2024 election. Inside Elections' Nathaniel Rakich said, "[The district] adds a few more Democratic areas of Los Angeles County to go from D+1 to D+5, although it should remain competitive; the Republican candidates for attorney general, controller, and treasurer in 2022 all would have carried the new version of this seat."
