CA CD-34: Ex-Sanders campaign depy political dir Arturo Carmona (D) becomes 5th Dem to enter special elec race for Cong Becerra's open seat.

Hmm that's interesting because one of the other candidates, Wendy Carrillo is also a Bernie supporter.  She is a journalist and wrote in one of her articles:

Wikipedia has 3 but they don't have Carmona.

Wendy Carillo (Standing Rock and Fight for 15 activist and radio host)
Jimmy Gomez (state assemblyman)
Sarah Hernandez (former teacher and nonprofit leader)

They also have a Green party candidate:

Kenneth Mejia (activist) (Mejia is also a Bernie supporter)

That means 3 out of 5 candidates are vocal Bernie supporters.  I'm not sure where the other two candidates stand.

Without knowing anything about them, Gomez and Hernandez seem like the best. I don't trust candidate with the main title "activist".

That's not a good argument and you know it
It sounds however that Carmona would have an early advantage.  I did a little research and it looks like Carillo has an online following so that might help her.  She was also at Standing Rock and is active on all the important issues of our days.  She's also a good writer judging by some of her articles I found so I suspect she will be a good speaker too.
Carmona on the other hand, having worked for the Bernie campaign probably has a bigger following and since a lot of Bernie supporters are trying to find campaigns worth working for, he could probably make good use of them.  Gomez, I couldn't find anything about, even though he's an assemblyman.

We'll see who wins, but I'm glad we will have a fresh face with new ideas.  Becerra was not bad or anything, but he had been in the House forever and the Democrats need new blood.

I actually did some research on the candidates, and they're all really good.  I don't think Bernie will endorse Carmona to be honest, because some of the other candidates such as Mejia or Meza also worked for the Bernie campaign.
Some comments on a few of them:
Aramayo: has worked for several nonprofits, and from speeches that I saw she looks like a very decent person.
Campoverdi: Used to work for Obama as well as the LA Times.  I believe she was also a model.  She has created some campaign videos as well.
Carmona: Worked for Bernie's campaign and is probably really well known among Bernie supporters.
Carrillo: A journalist who is also described as a super-activist.  She has made several appearances on Ana Kasparyan's show on TYT.  Supported Bernie during the primaries but I don't think she worked for his campaign.  She wrote in an article that "who we hoped Obama would be, Bernie has been all his life".
Gomez: He's actually quite a decent candidate, but I think being endorsed by Garcetti and other establishment figures will hurt his chances.
Meza: Also a Bernie supporter and a fight for 15 activist.
Wallace: She has posted some videos on her campaign website where she explains why a white girl like her is running, and she has also said that the establishment needs to stay out of the race
Mejia: He is 26 years old and was making a 6-digit salary working in Wall Street until he quit to volunteer for Bernie.  He ran against Becerra as a Green party candidate this year.

I honestly hope this becomes the future of the Democratic Party and we stop seeing hacks winning the party nomination at various races by getting the endorsements of the establishment, without anyone else getting a far chance.

Guys, with about 15 Democrats and exactly 2 Republicans running, top 2 system may allow runoff to be an R-R even in such strongly Democratic district. What will you do in such case?))))))

You are truly ignorant if you believe that could happen in this district.
