June 5, 2018 California Primary Election
California uses a "Top 2" primary system in which the top two vote getters, even if of the same party go on to the general election in November. All voters can vote for anyone regardless of party. This year Democrats have multiple candidates running in most of these elections, so if Republicans can converge on just one candidate for these seats they may have a better chance of making it to the general election than people think. To aid in that convergence the California Republican Assembly held a state convention March 2-4 and an Orange County convention March 17 and endorsed the following candidates. Where they did not endorse any and I have a personal endorsement the name is marked with an *:
For state-wide offices:
US Senator Tom Palzer
Governor Travis Allen (but Cox is good too. Check polling as June 5 gets closer.)
Lt. Governor David Hernandez
Attorney General Steve Bailey
Secretary of State Mark Meuser, a strategic candidate to support
