From the Washington Examiner: Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) was notified of a recall petition to remove him from office this week.
The petition, spearheaded by California resident Randy Economy’s organization called Saving California, was cosigned by 105 people, exceeding the 50 signatures required to initiate recall efforts against Newsom.
The intent to recall petition cited concerns about Newsom’s leadership during the Los Angeles fires that devastated the state. It also accused Newsom of overseeing rising crime, homelessness, drug use, and cost of living in the Golden State.
Under Newsom, tax funds are being appropriated toward political agendas rather than addressing urgent crises, according to the petition, which was served to the governor on Tuesday.

The report notes that the same group has tried to call Newsom before, most notably in 2021. However this newest effort is picking up more traction following the controversy surrounding the recent wildfires that devastated entire neighborhoods, due to a lack of access to water.
