Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom Officially To Face Recall, Second In State’s History
California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom will officially face a recall election this year after petitioners collected enough signatures to force the issue.
California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber announced on Wednesday that only 43 signatures had been withdrawn statewide from petitions calling for the recall and that the remaining 1,719,900 verified signatures met the threshold to initiate a recall election.
Newsom has faced intense criticism over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and his flouting of his own lockdown rules. The state is often criticized for having a large homeless population, “unreasonable draconian lockdown measures,” high taxes, and being one of the least free states in the nation.
“It will be only the second time in California’s history that a campaign to recall a governor has made the ballot out of 55 attempts,” Bloomberg News reported. “In 2003, Gray Davis was removed and replaced by Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican.”
Weber sent a letter to Department of Finance Director Keely Martin Bosler informing her that the recall election had officially been triggered.
