GOVERNOR (Open) The race for California's second-highest office is a four-way battle. Former Ambassador Eleni Kounalakis gave her campaign a $500,000 boost on the final day of the filing period, nudging her into a fundraising lead for the first half of the year. State Senator Ed Hernandez maintained a cash on hand edge, and physician Asif Mahmood and former Ambassador Jeff Bleich posted solid numbers, as well. Anthony Cannella, the sole Republican to raise funds for a Lt. Governor committee, was quoted as ruling out a run for future office earlier in the year after he cast the lone GOP vote in favor of the infrastructure bill that raised the gasoline tax.

 Ed Hernandez (D): $1,184,124 / $1,572,118  Eleni Kounalakis (D): $1,517,303 (incl. $527,520 from the candidate) / $1,391,316  Asif Mahmood (D): $1,004,826 / $846,997  Jeff Bleich (D): $659,877 / $625,509

ATTORNEY GENERAL Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones began raising money to succeed as Attorney General in October of 2015. His plans suffered a hit when Gov. Brown appointed Rep. to the position following Harris' 2016 Senate win. Jones raised $1,545,286 in the 635 days since collecting his first contribution, of which $580,121 was banked in the first half of this year. Becerra began raising money for his re-election almost immediately in February, racking up $2,402,419 within 148 days. While Jones maintains a cash on hand edge of $1.7 million when combined with his existing 2014 account, Becerra's fundraising pace is noteworthy. Neither of the two remaining Republicans are waging competitive campaigns.

 Xavier Becerra (D-Inc): $2,402,419 / $2,086,572  Dave Jones (D): $580,121 / $1,237,548 + $2,551,439 in '14 acct  Steven Bailey (R): $15,353 / $2,393  Nina Salarno (R): $0 / $7,675 SECRETARY OF STATE Incumbent Democrat Alex Padilla is currently unopposed for re-election.

Gatto reported raising just $8,570 in the first half of the year but maintains a war chest of $2,166,485. No Republican has filed, as of yet.

 Mike Gatto (D):$8,570 / $2,166,485  Fiona Ma (D): $1,177,455 / $1,413,329 CONTROLLER Controller Betty Yee is currently unopposed for re-election.

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION The 2014 Superintendent of Public Instruction race was one of the costliest on record, with over $20 million in independent expenditures deployed by charter school advocates backing Tuck and teachers union groups backing incumbent . While Tuck retains a fundraising edge over Thurmond, the amounts raised are likely to be dwarfed by outside spending as the same battle lines are drawn again in 2018. Because the Superintendent of Public Instruction is a non- partisan office, if one of the candidates receives 50% + 1 of the vote in the June Primary, the race is decided and there is no automatic November run-off.

 Marshall Tuck (D): $1,207,516 / $1,063,140  Tony Thurmond (D): $896,493 / $860, 913
