With our open, top-two choice primary, the two candidates who receive the most votes go on to the general election. Too many Democratic candidates will split the vote allowing two republicans to be the most votes in the primary which would be disaster in the general election.

I haven't decided which Democrat I'll vote for in primary because it's too early but it will be be one of the better known candidates. Right now, it's either Xavier Becerra or Eric Swalwell.
