Alex Padilla ended his campaign to remain California's junior senator much the way he began - trying to build support for fellow Democrats in other races.
It was a show of how comfortable he felt as the overwhelming favorite against his Republican opponent, constitutional lawyer Mark Meuser, in a rematch like their 2018 race for California secretary of state. In an odd twist, voters cast ballots twice for senator in this election: once to fill the last two months of Kamala Harris' term and the other for a new six-year term.
Finances are one measure of the lopsided contest. Padilla raised $11.8 million as of Oct. 19, and had $7.6 million left. Meuser raised $949,000 and had $136,000 remaining. Padilla's graduation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology fulfilled his parents' dreams, but he said he came home to television ads for Proposition 187 "basically saying the state of California is going downhill and it's the fault of people like your parents; it's because of families like yours."
