California Looks to Restore Party Primaries, Raising GOP Governor Concerns

A petition filed by political consultant Steve Maviglio seeks to undo California’s top-two primary system (Prop 14) in favor of separate party primaries, arguing it would restore party choice and curb perceived dysfunction. If approved, California could see two Republicans in the general election for governor, potentially enabling a GOP win in a state long led by Democrats. The move comes amid early polling that hints at two Republicans ahead in the gubernatorial race, with Schwarzenegger having backed Prop 14 to reduce gridlock.

California May Reinstate Top-Two Primaries, Altering the Governor Race

A ballot measure filed by Steve Maviglio seeks to repeal Proposition 14 and restore a traditional top-two primary in California, with the plan to appear on the 2028 ballot and take effect in 2030. Proponents say the current open-primary system disenfranchises voters by letting two candidates from the same party reach the general election, a concern underscored by the crowded field in the race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom; Secretary of State Shirley Weber has questioned whether Prop 14 has achieved its goals.
