Not filling out the second part of the ballot clears the way for Trump’s Republican Party to take over if the recall effort is successful.

“The first thing [I would do], assuming there are still mandates for masks and for vaccines, those would be repealed.”

- Larry Elder on One America News Network

I did not support Gavin Newsom in his primary race. While I agreed with his initial actions during the pandemic, I feel that he has lacked the courage to make the hard choices needed as this crisis has dragged on. Dining out maskless in violation of his own regulations was a boneheaded move that should end his future political career. As a public education advocate, I am frustrated that he has interfered on behalf of the charter school industry as their supporters’ money has poured into his campaign coffers. Still, without hesitation, I am voting “no” on the Republican effort to recall him.

As the Delta Variant fuels yet another surge, switching leadership in California would be a risky endeavor. This is especially true considering who leads the pack in the race to take Newsom’s place if the recall effort is successful.
