I don't think they included enough possible appointments in this poll. Most of these are from the progressive spectrum but there's a wide range of people Newsom could pick like Jerry Brown, Xavier Beccerra, Ted Lieu and others who weren't included.

It's obvious that Barbara Lee not London Breed was gonna get picked. Breed said she doesn't want to leave Cali for a commuters job, Kamala was hand picked by Obama and she was a natl figure anyways

Ugh what terrible options. Anyways Jerry Brown is not a viable option lol I highly doubt he wants that and there's a 0% chance Newsom appoints a white male.

There is absolutely no way Barbara Lee is picked, she is way too old and she is not one of Newsom's closest allies.

Barbara Lee isn't that old and even if she is she is the classiest AA lady out there and won't mess up D's chances in Reapportionment. Padilla, Becerra , Shipp and Swallwell dont want the seat and London Breed is already mayor, who else is out there but Katie Porter and she won't run for this seat
