That Gavin Newsom cheated in the Recall is not in dispute. He did so openly and his allies admitted it. I said so directly in a June 28 speech on the Assembly Floor. Newsom changed the laws for his own Recall right before the vote. He moved the election date in the manner of a […]

I don’t believe in moral victories. I believe in preparing for the next battle. One battle is a lawsuit to end the school mask mandate. An emergency hearing is set for September 30 in San Diego. No word on whether Emmy footage will be shown. In the larger battle, a 2022 poll shows Newsom with

I wanted to share with you my remarks on Election Night about the path forward. You can watch the speech here. Thank you to the over 7,000 citizen donors who made this the first major campaign for Governor in modern California history that refused all special interest funding. And thank you to the thousands of

Today we give new meaning to five forgotten words from our Declaration of Independence: The consent of the governed. Polls are open until 8 PM, and you can find your polling place here. You can follow the results here. The first results will appear shortly after 8 and will include early absentee ballots. Sometime later

*Join me on Election Night in Lincoln Newsom says surviving the Recall will give him a “mandate.” Make no mistake, he means a mandate for more mandates. That’s why getting out the vote is a matter of the highest urgency.  You can find your polling place here. We’ve defied the odds every step of the

Two days before adjourning, the Legislature has passed a bill to make CRT a graduation requirement. You can see my Floor Speech against the bill here.  Meanwhile, LA Unified is proposing a new mandate for students. Why should a district that can’t manage to teach reading or stay solvent be deciding anything about this? This is why

Joe Biden is coming to campaign for Gavin Newsom. Imagine being so afraid of losing your job that you make the president stop doing his. Newsom begged Biden to fly out for a political rally. That’s his priority, even as California kids are trapped in Afghanistan. This comes with Election Day now a week away.

Newsom has raised $65 million against the Recall, mostly from lobbyists like his French Laundry tablemates. They wine him, they dine him. They elect him, they own him. By contrast, we’ve run the first major campaign for Governor in modern California history that is 100-percent citizen backed. Newsom, to be fair, did just receive one

UPDATE: I’ve just received word that AB 455 is dead for the year. The new language of AB 455 still is not in print. The Legislature adjourns next Friday. Apparently it will take less than 10 days to decide if we’re a free society. I’ve been asked how a toll road bill could magically become

A federal court has just tossed the lawsuit to cancel the Recall that was promoted by Newsom’s allies. This comes as the stakes in the election have reached peak levels. A chilling new bill would require vaccination papers to enter restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, and more. I will fight in every way I can to stop AB
