The Issue Is: Bob Shrum, Melanie Mason, Toni Atkins

This week, Elex is joined by the all-start political panel of legendary Democratic strategist Bob Shrum and Politico writer Melanie Mason. Next, Elex is joined by California Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins. After almost six years as the most powerful legislator in the State Senate, Atkins is preparing to transition out of power, ahead of a potential run for Lieutenant Governor or Governor in 2026.
