Dear California gov candidates,

🚨 There are 61 candidates in this race. SIXTY ONE!

That’s how we hand the general election to TWO Republicans.

If you’re still in single digits, the window has closed. If you care about the Democratic Party, do the right thing. Drop out. Be loud about it. Endorse a Democrat who can make the top two. That’s how you actually help.

And respect to everyone who ran, you’ve done the work and elevated the conversation. Now it’s about finishing this the right way.
