This week it wasn’t much of a sur­prise when Attor­ney Gen­eral Jerry Brown declared he was run­ning for Gov­er­nor of Cal­i­for­nia once again.  You can reach his cam­paign web­page here.

The announce­ment had been expected for some time.  There are no other polit­i­cally sig­nif­i­cant Demo­c­ra­tic can­di­dates run­ning.   (The web­site Politics1 cur­rently lists three oth­ers: retired busi­ness­man, real estate investor, and San Diego econ­o­mist Richard Aguirre; non-profit group founder and Pas­tor Joe Sym­mon; and Fred Medill, a col­lege stu­dent and founder-operator of Fred TV.)

Why He’s Running

In his March 2^nd dec­la­ra­tion Brown said, “The polit­i­cal break­down in Sacra­mento is threatening(:) …”

• Jobs,
• Our schools and the
• State’s credit rating.

“… which is the worst in the coun­try … Our state is in seri­ous trou­ble and the next gov­er­nor must have the prepa­ra­tion, the knowl­edge and the know-how to get Cal­i­for­nia work­ing again. That is what I offer and that’s why I’m declar­ing my can­di­dacy for governor.”
