If you've never seen CA ballots, you should see how many challengers there are in most races. It all shakes out, and the lesser knowns eat ech other.

Edited to add excerpt:

The 34th Congressional District of California held a special election for the U.S. House of Representatives on June 6, 2017. Democrat Jimmy Gomez defeated Democrat Robert Lee Ahn in the general election.
The election replaced Xavier Becerra (D), who was appointed as California's attorney general.[5] Democrats Jimmy Gomez and Robert Lee Ahn were the top two vote-getters in a primary field of 23 candidates and advanced to the general election. Gomez and Ahn competed in the runoff election on June 6, 2017, when Gomez defeated Ahn by more than 20 percent, 60.1 percent to 30.9 percent.[6] The previous two elections in the district have also featured a general election contest between two Democrats.
