Jan 24, 2023: Sacramento Bee: Katie Porter wants Dianne Feinstein’s Senate seat. Is that possible?
Gov. Gavin Newsom, like Feinstein, is a former San Francisco mayor. Vice President Kamala Harris, elected to the Senate in 2016, is an Oakland native, and she succeeded Sen. Barbara Boxer, whose political roots are in Marin County. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., is from Los Angeles, but had the advantage of being appointed by Newsom to fill Harris’ seat so he could run last year as an incumbent.

April 25, 2023: Star-Tribune: Attorney general proposed as gatekeeper of Minnesota health care mergers
Bipartisan concerns have surfaced over the merger — with former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a Republican, joining with former Gov. Mark Dayton, a Democrat, in opposing any deal that places control of the U medical center outside Minnesota. However, no legislative budget bills have earmarked money to buy back the medical center, even with the state's $17 billion surplus.

In Texas, the GOP-led House of Representatives was set to hold historic impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Ken Paxton on Saturday as the scandal-plagued Republican called on supporters to protest a vote that could lead to his ouster.
The House scheduled an afternoon start for debate on whether to impeach and suspend Paxton from office over allegations of bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust — just some of the accusations that have trailed Texas’ top lawyer for most of his three terms.

Feb 28, 2023: WBOC: Maryland Gov. Moore Testifies for Faster Minimum Wage Boost
Del. Jesse Pippy, a Republican who is the House minority whip, questioned whether the measure would cause prospective employers to question whether they would want to come to Maryland.
“I think we have the same goals, but I’m concerned, I think with some of my colleagues here, that the indexing of the minimum wage could make it less attractive for an employer to want to be here, to want to do business here,” Pippy said.
