California Governor Newsom
On Wednesday, February 10, Thomas Beccaro, president of the Save California PAC, said his team has collected the 1.5 million signatures needed in the ongoing California-wide campaign to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom. With the likelihood of a successful recall increasing dramatically, two San Diego Republicans have officially announced their candidacy for California governor.
Under the rules, to successfully launch a referendum process to recall Newsom, the political action committee only needs to collect 1.5 million paper signatures from valid voters by March 17.
Beccaro tweeted on Wednesday that (so far) the group has obtained more than 1.5 million original signatures, but they have not been verified …… In order to secure eligibility (to start the recall process), they need 1.9 million (signatures).
Anne Dunsmore, manager of the recall campaign, said that because the signatures must be officially verified and some may not meet the verification criteria and thus be invalid, they need to collect more signatures to ensure that 1.5 million signatures are verified. She said, “Our goal is 2 million (signatures).”
According to media reports, Newsom has continued to raise taxes, give welfare to illegal immigrants, and support abortion during her tenure. During the Communist China virus (COVID-19) pandemic, he ordered the release of felons and violent criminals, extended a tenant ban on evicting non-paying renters, and shut down businesses, destroying California’s economy and security. During Thanksgiving last year, he issued an Epidemic prevention order that required people to stay Home, but he himself violated the rules by going to high-end restaurants and sitting around with several people without a mask. His actions have led to a deepening of public discontent in California.
According to the California Secretary of State’s website, there have been seven recall actions against Newsom in the less than two years he has been governor of California. The first six failed due to a “lack of signatures” and other reasons.
The sponsors reminded the public that people in power will do anything to stay in power and may even try to hold a recall election hostage, so don’t take it lightly. They also urged people to download the relevant paper petition from the “Recall Newsom 2020” website and fill it out as required to be valid.
With the success of the “Recall Newsom” campaign in sight, John Cox, a wealthy San Diego businessman who has received numerous endorsements from President Trump, formally announced his challenge to the California governor’s campaign in a 30-second ad earlier this week.
Cox previously ran for California governor in 2018 and successfully made it to the runoff, but ultimately lost. This Time he is running again because he believes it is worth a fight.
Cox has taken several shots at the policies of Democrats governing California. He said that instead of enjoying a high quality of Life under the Democratic Party, Californians are plagued by high taxes, high crime rates, high housing prices, and high Education funding.
He pointed out that California’s high housing prices and high taxes became particularly prominent during the epidemic, with a large number of people losing their jobs and forcing schools and businesses to close, making life difficult for the people. He also condemned Newsom’s double standard practice of asking people to stay home during the epidemic while he dined with friends at luxury restaurants. In addition, he also criticized the poor forest management by Newsom authorities, which led to the rampant fires and the loss of people’s lives and property.
Cox promised that if elected governor of California, he would work to reduce housing costs as well as provide new jobs.
Kevin Faulconer, the former mayor of San Diego and a Republican, was the first to announce his candidacy for California governor on Feb. 2. In his campaign ad, Faulconer denounced Newsom’s double standard on epidemic prevention, California’s severe high tax load, and the problem of homelessness.
It is reported that if the recall signatures meet the required criteria, Newsom is likely to become one of the few governors in California’s history to have successfully initiated recall proceedings.
