Recall effort against Newsom underway in California following alleged mishandling of LA fires
NY Post ^ | 1/13/25 | David Propper

A recall attempt to knock California Gov. Gavin Newsom out of office is underway as he faces sharp criticism for his handling of the Los Angeles wildfires – with opponents labeling his leadership as a “series of catastrophic failures.”

Organizers against Newsom vowed to file papers in the next two weeks in hopes of jumpstarting the process that could lead to the Democrat’s ouster in the middle of his second term in the governor’s mansion.

The state leader – along with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass – is fighting for his political life as the wildfires have torched more than 40,000 acres, destroyed more than 12,000 structures and killed at least 24 people.

“Under the reign of Governor Newsom, living in California has become impossible for average people through years of poor policies which have increased the costs of living, increased crime, increased drug use and homelessness, increased the cost of burden [sic] on small businesses and communities, while decreasing our professional standards, education standards, the disappearance of billions of taxpayers’ dollars to failed pet programs, and our public services,” one recall organizer, Randy Economy, said in a statement.

“This was most recently demonstrated by the woefully unprepared and incompetent response to the fires currently ravaging the Los Angeles area.”

He told Newsweek on Monday plans for a recall were in the works before the wildfires started, but the chaos has “shortened our time frame and changed things.”

A notice of intent needs to be filed first and then recall supporters must collect about 1.3 million signatures in five months, according to the outlet.

Economy, who led a recall against Newsom in 2021, started the organization “Saving California” in late 2024 which boasts of a mix of professionals, working families and community advocates.

So, if all goes well, they should everything in place to do this by 2030? You know, after the state says they don’t have enough signatures, or that the signatures are invalid, or this, or that, or the other thing.

Alleged?
Man, they really know how to cement their irrelevance.
Newsom’s proven actions and policies have been shown to be negligent.

Anyone else here from SoCal?
The local news has taken an odd shift..who ordered them to stand down?
It went from constant fire coverage to only random mentions about the winds, weather during the news coverage

Yes!
All of the local news channels are just reporting the same wind, weather..some really sad stories about people losing their homes but no live fire coverage except for a new Ventura fire.
Zero live coverage about the Palisades & Eaton fires which according to the Watch Duty app are still very active
I don’t wear a tinfoil hat too often but seems like a coordinated effort to minimize these fires

Oooh, papers. Don't they realize California elections are fake? Until the institutional cheating is stopped, and the Demonrat thieves thrown in jail, running a recall is just a waste of time and anger.

This is a good test to see if they have learned any lessons.

you’re probably right, sadly. sounds like the word went out to cool it from our ‘betters.’ hope citizen journalists and X can pick up the slack.

If they had any integrity at all, they'd have done the honorable thing and resigned.

But since this is the plan, it's working out exactly as they want.

The optics of him stumbling and fumbling while talking to fire victims. This is what happens when democraps have a fawning media in a one party state; the inability to answer anything tough when it comes up. THe optics will make great GOP commercials in future year.
