Contributing sentiments towards policy:
50% : " The candidates were divided on whether California should have allowed school districts to determine when they reopened during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to public schools in some urban areas remaining closed for months longer than private schools and schools in more rural areas.49% : Villaraigosa said he supported the concept of single-payer healthcare but cautioned that politicians who pushed the concept were "selling snake oil."
27% : Newsom dismissed Villaraigosa's concerns, saying fighting for single-payer healthcare was a "question of leadership" and that he wouldn't wait for Congress to act.
