Thanks for publicizing this, Chris.
I'm 95% likely to be running, and it's going to be a very tough election. I'm in the 41st Assembly District, which goes from Santa Monica all the way north past Malibu and the like and into Calabasas in the West Valley. As I understand it there are going to be two competing slates, one progressive and one more establishment. Both slates are expecting to turn out hundreds of people for the caucus. The meeting room where the caucus will be held seats about 40. It should be absolute chaos.
This will be a major test for the progressive movement. If we can't deliver a slate in a community this progressive, we have to go back to the drawing board. There's a LOT of money in this district, and I'm guessing the establishment slate will be spreading some around.
There's actually an executive board meeting tonight in Anaheim, and the Progressive Caucus is meeting there at 9:30 and will have more information for anyone interested in running or participating. All registered Democrats can attend. More info here. Jerry McNerney will be speaking there as well.
