CA-AG: Rob Bonta announces re-election campaign for California Attorney General

California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Sunday his run for re-election, affirming his commitment to defending California, his campaign said in a press release.

“Over the last five years, we’ve built a wall of protection around this state – a legal fortress around our rights, our freedoms, and our values that not even the most unlawful President can tear down. Together, we have proven that when California fights, WE WIN. This is why I have decided to continue my campaign to earn another term as your Attorney General."

This announcement confirms that Bonta will not be joining the race for governor.

“The outpouring of encouragement from supporters, friends, and family to jump into the Governor’s race has sharpened my focus and reminded me how grateful I am to work with so many who care so deeply for this state," he said.

With our open, top-two choice primary, the two candidates who receive the most votes go on to the general election. Too many Democratic candidates will split the vote allowing two republicans to be the most votes in the primary which would be disaster in the general election.

I haven't decided which Democrat I'll vote for in primary because it's too early but it will be be one of the better known candidates. Right now, it's either Xavier Becerra or Eric Swalwell.
