Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Former Gov. Pete Wilson tops the list of early endorsers of Meg Whitman's exploratory run for governor.

Wilson, who served two terms as governor, has signed on as her campaign chairman.

Topping the list of her campaign co-chairs is Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who has experienced a meteoric rise in Washington D.C. to become the GOP's chief deputy whip - the No. 3 post in the Republican caucus - after just a single term.

Other co-chairs:

Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Moorpark
Rep. Mary Bono-Mack, R-Palm Springs
Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego
Former Assemblywoman Sharon Runner, R-Lancaster
