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.
