THE PLAN for the California Governor's Race: • Do not vote early. Wait until after the debates. • Key debates are April 22, April 28, and May 5. • Early voting opens May 4, before the final major debate. • Hold off voting until after May 5. • Wait for a clear frontrunner to emerge in the polls. • Once that happens, consolidate behind that candidate. • Do not split the vote across multiple Democrats. • High turnout matters, but unified turnout matters more. I know what you are thinking. We like to vote early so they know we're coming in HOT 🔥. I know this goes against instinct right now, but this election is different. The debates matter, and they’re happening right as voting begins. We have a debate on April 22, another on April 28, and a major one on May 5, after early voting is already underway. We need to see these candidates on the same stage before making a decision. Right now, the field is split. Becerra, Porter, and Steyer are all in the mix, and one of them is going to pull ahead after these debates. When that happens, we need to be ready to move together. This is a jungle primary. The top two advance. If we split the vote, we risk shutting ourselves out of November entirely. That is not a hypothetical. It is a real possibility. So this is not the moment for loyalty to a lower polling candidate. It is not the moment for protest votes or holding out for a perfect option. It is a moment for clarity and coordination.
