Don't really see why we need 'another Democrat' running for this Congressional Representative seat. Particular one with only a year as a local body elected official. The former Mayor of a local very large city is now "officially" a candidate [yesterday update]; a well respected elder-statesman/legislator with decades and decades of local, county, and state experience is "officially running"; a newer state legislator and former small city mayor is running, and a 'Democratic outsider' tech executive has run/ is running again.

RESTRAINT Dems! Please. Otherwise a widely-split Democrat vote will allow a Republican Party (extreme minority in the 16th) candidate to get into the Nov 2024 General Election 'runoff'. "Top Two" California primary law says only the top two vote candidates advance to the final election.

I would much prefer a Dem to Dem choice on my November (mail-in) ballot. :)
