The opposite of Gavin Newsom’s self-promotional governorship is one of humility. This means humility not only in the conduct of the state’s chief executive, but in the role of the government itself. It means remembering that every action we take has legitimacy only by the consent of the people we represent.

It means rooting out the many undemocratic practices at our Capitol, like the denial of public access or rules where a bill can be killed without a vote so that legislators can claim they didn’t oppose it. Recall supporters said Newsom mishandled the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, did not do enough to address the state’s homelessness rate, and supported sanctuary city policies and water rationing. FootnotesCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom was retained in a recall election on September 14, 2021.

• Apartments would have to be either 100% affordable or mixed-use, meaning market-rate but affordable to at least 15% of lower income earners, or 8% of very low income and 5% of extremely low income earners.
• A swath of business and restaurant groups representing individual franchise owners and corporate chains, including a number of minority chambers of commerce, opposed it.
• Gavin understands that supporting criminal justice reform not only benefits our economy and provides cost savings to our state — it keeps our communities safe.
• Cremating one corpse can release almost 600 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
• In 2012, Wisconsin voted to retain former Gov. Scott Walker in the recall election.
• Democratic officials want Newsom to be the only prominent Democrat on the ballot this fall, even though it would mean forfeiting the governorship to Republicans.

While Newsom and some his supporters have been pushing their supporters to leave the second question blank, others have discussed a strategy of writing in the Democratic governor as his own replacement, but that is prohibited under state election law. Question 2 only comes into play if a majority of voters opt to recall Newsom on Question 1. But his Republican opponent this fall took just under 18 percent of the primary vote, so Newsom does not exactly have a fight on his hands. That’s why he was able to head out of state for a week over the July 4 holiday and take other family vacations in places like Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and some Central American points. Speaking of desalination, the governor’s recent and surprising support for a desal plant in Huntington Beach led to howls of protest — and a no vote at the powerful Coastal Commission.

The opposite of Gavin Newsom’s neglectful governorship is one that is mindful of our responsibilities. That California had for years de-prioritized pandemic preparedness before 2020 is emblematic of a broader tendency towards shortsighted decision-making. The long-term consequences pile up, until they are not long-term anymore.

From 2017 to 2019, leave claims by workers making less than $20,000 a year declined while they rose for all other workers — increasing the most for those making $100,000 and above, according to the Employment Development Department. And under current law, lower-earning workers contribute a greater share of their paychecks to the program than higher earners because of the cap on taxing incomes above $145,600. More immediately, without this bill the current amount of benefits is set to expire and would return to 55% of a worker’s wages in January. The California Republican Party that ended the 2020 election with 42,000 volunteers says it now has 66,000 people making calls and contacting voters. Those volunteers have called, texted or knocked on doors belonging to more than 3.5 million voters so far. The SurveyUSA poll, conducted between September 7 and 8, found 54 percent of likely voters would keep the governor versus 41 percent who want him removed.

While there are certainly changes that could be made to the recall, the argument that it should be eliminated or heavily constricted runs into the powerful point that the voters want to retain this ability. They have repeatedly voted to adopt recall laws by overwhelming margins. And they have done so without causing too much heartburn to the political process. That’s enough of a reason not to scrap the ability to hold a referendum on the powers that be. Meanwhile, apoll released on Friday by the Institute of Governmental Studies at the UC Berkeley, puts Newsom in the clear, with 60% of support. However, notes thata slight tilt in the balance could give place to a majority voting him out of office,leading to the candidate with the most votes taking over the job.

As Los Angeles County bans outdoor watering, Newsom will soon look like the only reasonable California Democrat in the state. Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to be president of the United States, so he’s using his office to prove to Americans outside of California — the voters he’ll need to win in 2024 — that he’s actually a centrist. That’s why he was able to head out of state for a week over the July 4 holiday and take other family vacations in places like Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and some Central American points. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who won 56 percent of the June primary vote, still needs one more ratification at the polls, where he won election in 2018 and easily beat back a recall almost exactly one year ago.

Nearly 1.5 million people have listened to me – and I to them — every day for years. High taxes, over-regulation, poor public schools and hostility to job-creating small business. And your public schools will under-perform compared to the rest of the nation, despite more and more money spent on education. Because of their radical environmentalism, they oppose building the infrastructure necessary to supply consistent energy and water to a population of 40 million, leaving us with a crumbling system built in the ‘70’s to support a population twice that size. A state once admired for its public schools, its dynamic economy, and, above all, its people who strive for racial harmony, pursuing a common cause.
