8/11/20: Democratic strategist Hilary McLean pointed to Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez as a potential choice. As a Latina, Gonzalez would bring more diversity to the Senate floor, McLean said of the longtime labor advocate who has risen to prominence in California for her championing of the employee classification law AB 5.“She never backs down from a fight,” McLean said. “She would bring the perspective of a mother to the Senate, which I think is really needed.”
