Riverside County Democratic Party member Janet Dagley poses the question "How Many More?" while tying the recent events taking place in Minneapolis, MN, and other cities across the United States to prior historical events with tragic results.

Janet Dagley warns California Democrats that the state’s top-two “jungle primary” could again produce a general election ballot with only Republicans, as happened in her state Senate district years ago. With nine Democrats and two Republicans running to succeed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom, GOP candidates Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton are polling first and second among Republicans (Hilton at 14%, Bianco at 12%), while the leading Democrats—Katie Porter (13%), Eric Swalwell (11%), and Tom Steyer (10%)—are fragmented alongside large “don’t know” and low-polling candidates. Dagley urges lesser-known Democrats to bow out quickly, consolidate support behind stronger contenders before the March 26 certified-candidate list and voter guide release, and avoid forcing Democrats to choose between two Republicans in November.
