Moderator Tom Brokaw has asked Meg Whitman why she is using her fortune -- $120 million and counting – to run for governor when she didn’t vote for most of her life.
“I am not proud of my voting record,” Whitman said, as she repeatedly has stated on the campaign trail.
Whitman said she will come to Sacramento “with no strings attached” to special interests, if elected governor.
She accused Jerry Brown of being in the pocket of the state’s public employee unions.
Brown said he has stood up to unions, both as mayor of Oakland and during his previous time as governor.
