California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta leads challengers in campaign cash, buoyed by reformers

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Deep-pocketed backers of criminal justice reform have poured money into the campaign of progressive California Atty.
41% : The contest is also heating up a year after the police killing in Minneapolis of George Floyd, a Black man, sparked demonstrations for criminal justice reform, noted Tom Hogen-Esch, chair of political science at Cal State Northridge.
38% : They favor an end to the death penalty and cash bail, but in 2020, California voters passed a ballot measure to expedite capital punishment and rejected a measure to end cash bail."
