Former State Controller Betty Yee said she was throwing her hat into the ring, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Other contenders could include Vice President Kamala Harris and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

“I don’t think that Kamala Harris is here enough to make the inroads, but that would be, in my opinion, the person that [Kounalakis] would contest with,” Joe Cotchett, a prominent Bay Area attorney, said. “There are a lot of other people around, and this mayor of LA is phenomenal. Watch her.”
