California’s unemployment department has consistently been one of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s biggest political liabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Governor Newsom’s focus on the negative during the recall campaign was a missed opportunity for California unification, suggests Joe Mathews.

Shirley Weber has been thrust into the awkward position of administering the California recall that could oust the man who appointed her.

The attempt to recall Governor Gavin Newsom has failed, according to a call by The Associated Press, allowing the governor to stay in office until at least 2023.

Secretary of State Shirley Weber said the total cost of the special election could exceed $300 million.

California’s recall makes sense, but the electoral system as a whole needs reform, according to columnist Joe Matthews.

If you live in California and care at all about a sudden change of leadership in this state, you’ll want to vote in the 2021 recall election.

After initial returns showed the recall failing by a nearly 70% to 30% margin, the Associated Press and TV networks called the race for Newsom.

Some GOP recall candidates say they would use emergency power to pass their agenda, and try to persuade the Democratic Legislature.
