This is a thread for Secretary of State,
Having personally collected and submitted signatures for both candidates in Sacramento, I advise endorsing both candidates for Secretary of State.
In order to accomplish growth in the party, those candidates need to focus on their platforms and not attack one another. This weakens both candidates before the primary election. The aggressor may experience blowback for "going low" and inflicts libel upon their opponent.
With that said, this is a top two. If the candidates coordinate, they might generate enough interest in the Secretary of State race for CA voters to put two greens in the general election. They are running against unknowns and the scrutinised Alex Padilla.
If Erik and Mike can smile wide enough, and Erik starts playing their guitar on the campaign trail, we will see each candidate earn at least 2% apiece.
Of course, there is not an option to endorse all. So I recommend voting against the bylaw interpretation that justifies the contest.
My three cents,
