CA-LG: Fiona Ma (D) holds Bakersfield rally ahead of June 2 lieutenant governor election
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — California State Treasurer Fiona Ma rallied dozens of supporters at Jastro Park in Bakersfield on Sunday ahead of the June 2 election, where she is one of 17 candidates vying to become the state's next lieutenant governor.
Ma, the state's 34th treasurer and the first woman of color and first woman certified public accountant elected to the position, says her experience sets her apart from the field.
"I'm the only candidate running for lieutenant governor that has been elected statewide. And even to the quarter of the state with 10 million people, I've also served in the state legislature, so I understand policy at the state level," Ma said.
Ma argues her professional and political background makes her the strongest candidate in the race.
