Atkins pulls out of race to succeed Newsom

ALLEN J. SCHABEN Los Angeles Times

TONI ATKINS, former president pro tem of the state Senate, has left the California governor's race.

San Diego Democrat and former state Senate leader Toni Atkins dropped out of the 2026 California governor's race Monday, part of a continued reshuffling and contraction of the wide field of candidates vying to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Atkins told supporters in a letter Monday afternoon that during a childhood in rural Virginia, she often felt “too country, too poor, too gay” to fit in. After building a life on the West Coast, where she found acceptance and opportunity, she worked for decades to build on “the promise of California” and extend it to future generations, she said.

“That's why it’s with such a heavy heart that I’m stepping aside today as a candidate for governor,” Atkins wrote. “Despite the strong support we've received and all we've achieved, there is simply no viable path forward to victory.”
