Ten Californians will speak at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia next week, including Gov. Jerry Brown, Sen. Barbara Boxer and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
Several of the speakers have been longtime Clinton boosters and have addressed delegates at previous conventions. California’s delegation of 475 pledged delegates and 76 unpledged delegates is the largest of any state.
Other California speakers include House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (San Francisco), House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra (Los Angeles), Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Rep. Ted Lieu (Torrance), Rep. Adam Schiff (Burbank) and Rep. Maxine Waters (Los Angeles).
Newsom has announced a bid for governor in 2018. Villaraigosa is said to be considering jumping into the race after the November election.
