Six candidates for governor of California met on Tuesday for their final debate before the June 5 primary. Here are a few takeaways.

1. The gas tax passed by the Legislature clearly divides Democrats from Republicans. The Democrats — Gavin Newsom, the lieutenant governor; Antonio Villaraigosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles; John Chiang, the state treasurer; and Delaine Eastin, a former Assembly member — are for it. The two Republicans — Travis Allen, a member of the State Assembly, and John Cox, a business executive — oppose it.

Mr. Cox: “You can’t keep picking the pockets of the taxpayers of this state.”

Mr. Newsom: “I applaud the courage of the Legislature that did the right thing.”

2. The four Democrats opposed the immigration compromise backed by Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, to provide money for a border wall in exchange for protecting so-called Dreamers from deportation. “Absolutely not,” said Mr. Chiang. “California is about building bridges, not walls.”
