    Cali has 1 primary, and the top two candidates make it to the general…

    Some early polling of the race has put both Bianco and Hilton among the candidates splitting the most support in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in 20 years.

    “The likelihood of two Republicans effectively ‘locking out’ California Democrats from the contest for Governor in the General Election is relatively low,” Hicks wrote. “However, while it is implausible, it is not impossible and I know we are collectively committed to taking the steps required to avoid that possibility.”

    Right now the top two candidates have an R by their name, which would depress general turnout when it matters and cost House seats we desperately need. Not to mention it would guarantee a Republican governor.
