Why a lifelong Democrat and education reformer is supporting Larry Elder for governor

Gloria Romero, 66, the states first female majority leader, said she disagrees with just about everything that radio talk show host Larry Elder, the apparent Republican front-runner, stands for.

But she is so disillusioned with Newsom and other California Democrats who have blocked efforts to reform public education that she has become an enthusiastic Elder supporter and has starred in commercials in English and Spanish endorsing his quest for governor.

“The first thing was the arrogance of the ruling classes — rules for thee, but not for me,” she told me when we met at the home of her daughter, Soledad Ursua, a member of the Venice Neighborhood Council. “The French Laundry thing was SO symbolic. “

She doesn’t mind that Newsom schools his children privately. “But what about the rest of us?” she said. “Why can’t we have opportunity scholarships to go to the school of our choice?”

1. and of course if she winds up succeeding and killing people with Covid

and make no mistake about it, if Elder wins at least 10's of thousands will die, I will bet it won't be her family.

2. Another attention seeking idiot who does not know how to reason

her way out of a paper bag.
"Rules for thee, but not for me." ?????????? That could be the GOP coat of arms, FFS.

3. If she didn't mind Newsom

sending his kids to private school then why does she mention it.

4. AYFKM?? How many people should suffer because she has a petty dislike of Newsom?

It's not a popularity contest and there are real life consequences of this recall if Elder wins. Does she have any principles whatsoever?

5. Gloria Romero? Never heard of her.

6. What a ridiculous person. She wants attention or something?

Elder would turn California into another Texas or Florida. He's already stated that he's against masks and the vaccines.

She's as nuts as he is. Everyone, disregard her, please.

7. I saw the commercial. She scared me. I swear I saw

sparks flying from her eyes. You could see and hear her venomous hatred of Newsom. On a lighter note, I have never heard of her.

8. Hope she is disowned by the Party

Especially if Newsom somehow loses.

9. Sounds like Susan Sarandon...

10. Wonder how much she was paid
