California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and businessman John Cox will face off in the November election in the race for governor Under California's unusual open primary system, the top two candidates who receive the most votes advance, regardless of party California's crowded field for governor was knocked down to two Tuesday, when voters picked Democratic Lt.
