State Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, whose district includes parts of El Dorado, Placer, and Sacramento counties, said he views himself and the other candidates running to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom as working on the same team.
A special election to determine whether Newsom will be recalled, and if so, who will take his place as California’s governor, is set to be held Sept. 14, according to an announcement made by the state’s lieutenant governor, Eleni Kounalakis.
In 2019, Kiley ran and lost against fellow Republican Brian Dahle in the race to represent District 1 — which includes Nevada County — in the state Senate.
