Unlike the rest of the country, California has "jungle primaries". So, you can wind up in the election with "Democrat vs Democrat". This prevents the "Barely win the primary and cruise to a safe general election."
In addition, California can put something like this up as a proposition and override the legislature.
However, both of these situations are likely to wind up with a LOT of entrenched money being thrown around in opposition to "right to repair". So, the supporters need to get their ducks in a row and demonstrate real support in the electorate for this.
> Same one party rule situation exists in some very "red" states of course.
I'm speaking in ignorance right now, but I am unaware of any red states that implement either jungle primaries or election propositions.
