“Republicans weren’t on the last two California Senate election ballots”
That’s because in six of the last CA state senate election contests (2018) the Republicans didn’t even bother to run a candidate.
Basically the CA state GOP has surrendered to the Democrats.
Maybe you should run for the CA state senate next time just so your local Republicans have someone to vote for?
The worst thing that could happen is you might win.

No I was referring to the last two U.S. Senate elections, not state senate. The ‘Jungle Primary’ that Cal uses says the top two finishers in the primary make the final ballot, regardless if they are in the same party. So in 2016 and 2014 Californians got to pick which democrat they wanted in the U.S. Senate.
Although born and raised in California, I’ve been living in Missouri for the better part of the last half century. I don’t regret leaving the Golden State one bit.
republicans ran in the primary but the most votes was 7.8% The list of them is below.
Under Cal law the top 2 primary vote getters run fun Nov. So two dems ran Sanchez and Harris.
