Why I am voting NO and I am voting FOR Kevin Paffrath...
Last edited Sat Aug 21, 2021, 05:37 PM - Edit history (1)
You can vote NO and vote for who becomes governor if the recall is successful, and from what i can tell, this is our best alternative under these circumstances.
If you vote NO and leave the 2nd part blank you are allowing the GOP to pick the new governor IF we lose the recall.

Would seek to build “net negative” housing communities, built around solar and wind farms that export energy to the rest of California
Would eliminate state income tax on the first $250,000 earned
Would legalize online and in-person gambling and seek to build Las Vegas-style casinos in partnership with casino builders, tribal communities and union workers
Would invest in wildfire prevention with technologically advanced detection and response
Would try to reduce crime by fully funding police departments, but shifting to better training and community integration instead of over-policing poor and minority communities
Would offer nonviolent offenders the option to do community service, such as cleaning streets and removing graffiti, instead of prison time
Would not impose any further COVID lockdowns, but would not ban counties or cities from imposing restrictions
Would establish ‘‘Future Schools” — two-year programs open to anyone age 16 and older that combine college, trade school, high school and financial education, and work with industry and nonprofits to create a hiring pipeline
Would seek the federal government’s help on the state’s water shortage by building a 14-foot-diameter pipeline from the Mississippi River to California
Would refocus high-speed rail money to reduce traffic congestion and pollution by building new roads, including variable-direction toll roads

And yes I realize you cant eliminate homelessness as described WHILE AT THE SAME TIME eliminating tax on income under $250K, clearly he has no idea how this stuff works but he is better than any con.
And writing in Gavin will not work per this

So, is it possible? Could writing in Newsom’s name save his tenure as governor?
The answer to that question is a resounding no. Only certified write-in candidates are counted, a spokesperson for the California Secretary of State confirmed to The Sacramento Bee over email.
