A statewide effort by Democrats to keep Gov. Gavin Newsom in office kicked off Saturday in Sonoma County as local political leaders and constituents gathered on the steps of Santa Rosa City Hall.
Approximately 50 people turned out to the rally and march in the late morning, carrying signs and U.S. flags and wearing pins and stickers emblazoned with the slogan “Stop the Republican Recall.”
“This election is bigger than one governor,” said State Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, to the crowd through a bullhorn. “Coming up this fall, our values are on the ballot.”
The lieutenant governor has not yet set a date for the recall vote against Newsom, which Secretary of State Shirley Weber confirmed Wednesday had qualified for placement on a ballot. The certification of 1,719,900 signatures this past week, however, triggered immediate defensive action from Democratic organizers from the state to the local level on behalf of the governor.

Pat Sabo, chairwoman of the Sonoma County Democratic Party, reminded the attendees at Saturday’s event that Sonoma County led voter turnout in the November 2020 election, as 90.5% of registered voters cast a ballot.
“We are going to have to emulate that to stop this recall,” she said.
A lineup of local Democratic elected officials praised Newsom’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and decried the recall effort as a partisan distraction, based in misinformation about the coronavirus and fueled by money flowing in from national Republican interests.
“What type of ideology will govern California if this recall effort is successful?” said Esther Lemus, Windsor councilwoman. “We’ll end up with a governor from Trump’s party, and we can’t let that happen.”
