The candidates vying for California's governor are set to participate in three televised debates before the June primary election. Some local voters have expressed a preference for candidates to focus on pocketbook issues, such as health care costs. Political consultant Matt Klink suggested that the debates could be crucial for new leaders Xavier Bacerra and others who gained the most during Eric Swalwell's departure. Klink also cautioned that candidates need to be careful in how they approach the debates.
