A former California tech executive has announced she is ending her longshot campaign for the U.S. Senate seat once held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Democrat Lexi Reese announced Tuesday that she has been unable to raise the many millions of dollars the first-time candidate needed to introduce herself to voters in the state. The former Google executive joined the contest in June. She positioned herself as “a new candidate with a fresh message.” She was never able to break into the top tier of candidates that includes Democratic U.S. Reps. Katie Porter, Adam Schiff and Barbara Lee.
