These commands open the options list, wait for it to appear, and finally choose the option labelled "California". Select2 can be customized in different ways, hope these commands work for you.

mouseDown      css=.select2-choice > div > b
waitForVisible css=.select2-results
mouseUp        css=.select2-result-label:contains('California')

WebElement element = driver.findElements(By.xpath(/*xpath*/));

Select select = new Select(element);

select.selectByVisibleText(value);

Alternatively, it can also be handled by using clickAt()

clickAt('//a[@class="select2-choice select2-default"][1]');
waitForVisible("css=.select2-results");
clickAt('//li[contains(@class,"select2-result")][1]');
