SACRAMENTO — Four weeks before Election Day , Sacramento is front and center in the Presidential race.
Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz flew in for a fundraising stop at Governor Gavin Newsom’s home in Fair Oaks.
Walz arrived at Sacramento International Airport and walked down the stairs with his daughter. They were met by California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, Congressmember Doris Matsui, and Mayor Darrell Steinberg.
Walz did not stop to talk to reporters. He could be heard briefly shouting a greeting.
His motorcade took him to Newsom’s home, where the governor introduced Walz to the crowd here to see him.
“He’s so down to earth, he is so grounded,” guest Margerie Solomon said.
Sonoma State Professor and political expert David McCuan said fundraising stops, not campaign stops in California where registered Democrats heavily outnumber Republicans, are a common part of every presidential race.
