The two had agreed to support each other in an effort to prevent Patterson from winning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign for chair was a contentious one with a lot of the negative rhetoric targeted at Patterson, the most moderate candidate. After being officially nominated to run for chair on Saturday, she encouraged delegates to focus on what she called the real threat — Democrats in the state Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The enemy is about 500 yards away over in that white building where every single day they are trying to take away our freedom, our liberty, and they are trying to tax everything that is out there,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Patterson kept a relatively low profile at the convention, former Assemblyman Allen campaigned with gusto. He said the state party’s tendency to back moderate candidates for office has backfired, and he pointed to the November elections as proof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had the worst results in a governor’s race since 1978. We had the worst congressional results since 1883. We have no statewide elected Republicans. We have mega-minorities in both houses of the state Legislature,” Allen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the party chose to go with the more moderate Patterson. Speaking briefly to reporters after the convention, she said one of her immediate priorities as chair will be recruiting candidates up and down the state ahead of the March 2020 primary.

Brown has named a far \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10869617/browns-judicial-appointments-reflect-shift-away-from-harsh-sentencing-policies\">more diverse set of judges\u003c/a> and parole board members than his predecessors, and allowed \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/mar/19/governor-brown-releasing-more-lifers/\">a record number of parole releases to go forward.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The appointments to the bench do have a very important, long-term effect,” said Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the conservative Criminal Justice Legal Foundation and a critic of Brown’s approach to criminal justice. “It's a gradual one that doesn't necessarily show up right away. But I think we are seeing California courts generally, and the California Supreme Court in particular, being more receptive to arguments made by defendants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheidegger said the governor's political power -- and fundraising strength -- have also had an impact. Brown has put his sizable war chest behind promoting changes at the ballot box like 2016’s Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure chipped away at a legacy from Brown’s first terms as governor that many blame for the prison overcrowding: determinate sentencing, which sets a fixed prison term at the time of conviction. Proposition 57 gave the parole board more discretion on when to release an inmate. Scheidegger opposed Proposition 57, and believes the governor is “fundamentally mistaken on a lot of sentencing issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But criminal justice reform advocates like Lenore Anderson believe the changes of the last seven years are only the beginning.

There is so much more at stake, she said, than just the governor's race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every down-ticket race is counting on this,\" she said. \"We need a top-2 finisher in November, and that comes when the party is united.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those down-ticket races worrying Roseberry include at least half a dozen vulnerable Republican House seats. If Democrats can grab those, it would help them tip the balance of power in Congress. No one knows what the impact on Republican turnout will be if there are only Democrats to choose from in the California governor's race.

A party endorsement will unify Republican voters, she said, because \"if they split the vote, Antonio Villaraigosa is going to get No. 2 ... and it's going be over for Republicans in June.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On paper, Cox and Allen seem to check the same boxes. They both support President Trump's plan for a border wall. They both want to repeal the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/05/555920658/california-governor-signs-sanctuary-state-bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent California law\u003c/a> that protects undocumented immigrants. They both want to dump an increase in the tax on gasoline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their big differences are in style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Cox looks every bit the distinguished, older business executive, and he sees the state through that lens. He told convention delegates that California has been mismanaged and that it'll take a businessman to fix it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Business people solve problems,\" Cox said. \"[They're] not a bunch of rhetoric, not a bunch hot air. They get results and that's what people want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Cox is using part of his personal fortune to fund his campaign, his opponent's campaign is running on fumes. Allen tries to make up for it with boundless confidence and by touting his early and passionate support for Donald Trump, whom Cox did not vote for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Did we take back our country in 2016?\" Allen asked to the cheers of the crowd. \"Are you ready to take back our state in 2018?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, neither Allen nor Cox could muster enough support to win the party's endorsement. It looks like they'll be fighting for the same dwindling pool of conservative voters until primary day, decreasing their chances of making the runoff. Delegate Karen Roseberry found that prospect alarming and begged the delegates to reconsider. There is so much more at stake, she said, than just the governor's race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every down-ticket race is counting on this,\" she said. \"We need a top-2 finisher in November, and that comes when the party is united.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those down-ticket races worrying Roseberry include at least half a dozen vulnerable Republican House seats. If Democrats can grab those, it would help them tip the balance of power in Congress. No one knows what the impact on Republican turnout will be if there are only Democrats to choose from in the California governor's race. But Republicans are hoping they won't have a chance to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.
