California Senate candidates brawled Tuesday night over energy, the economy, corporate ties and almost anything else the state's residents care about. But who was right and who was wrong as they traded charges and facts? With two weeks to go before the state’s March 5 primary, candidates are battling for a shrinking slice of the electorate.

Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was up to 28%, followed by Republican Steve Garvey, at 22%, U.S. Rep. Katie Porter, D-Cali...

The tug-of-war between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office over the state’s projected budget deficit took a new turn Tuesday, when the LAO announced a revised shortfall of $73 billion — $15 billion more than previously forecast, and significantly more than the $38 billion gap that Newsom has estimated. The LAO reported that recent revenue collection data “reflect even further weakness” for the state’s financial outcome. “All else equal, this means the budget problem is likely to be higher” when the governor gives his revised projection of the state’s f...
