SACRAMENTO — San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has quietly started discussing a potential run for governor with advisers and prospective donors, according to a former Los Angeles mayor and sources familiar with Faulconer’s deliberations.
Faulconer, a Republican who said last year that he would not seek the governorship, remains hesitant, the sources said. But he is tentatively assessing how supportive GOP donors might be in a race that is widely expected to be won by a Democrat.
