------ URGENT STATE ACTION
CA Governor Race Nightmare — Urgent Action
CA Governor Race Nightmare Urgent Action
Many of you have asked me this question: what can we do about the upcoming possible disaster in CA? Because of the way our top-two primary works, there’s a real risk that the vote could split in a way that leaves us with two Republican candidates on the November ballot. A statewide group of Indivisible organizers has put together a short survey to understand what Indivisible member preferences actually are in terms of the Democratic candidates. The survey results will be shared with the campaigns and state party leadership to encourage lower-polling candidates to step back in mid-April. Here's more information and instructions (and Gov candidate profiles). More questions? Email IndivCAStateNetwork@gmail.com.
