Mike Netter, the lead proponent of Recall Gavin 2020, said this in the early days of the Recall effort:
The success of this Recall will trigger and open a conversation on how California should be run.
The Recall campaign has reached that success, and now Californians are having that conversation or we should be.
Many Californians have no clue that we already have a full slate of candidates to run against Governor Gavin Newsom, once the Recall election date is established. Some officially filed their paperwork for 2022, when Newsom’s first term would have been completed. Others have specifically filed for the 2021 Recall election.
The Hill’s breathless headline wants you to know that this is a BIG deal:

From the piece:
“Amid signs of improving COVID-19 conditions in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) lifted statewide stay-at-home orders Monday, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) said.
“The move allows restaurants to open for outdoor dining options and salons to resume indoor appointments. Outdoor church services are also permitted. Reopening options apply to regions including the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley and Southern California and marks the first reopening opportunity since December.
“The state will now revert to a county tier system, which eases lockdowns depending on case rates and gives local officials the option to set their own restrictions, KCRA reports.”

California’s District 4 Representative Tom McClintock opened the first annual Re-Open Cal Now Public Policy Conference with a dig at Governor Gavin Newsom.
“For those of you who can’t see it the mask, it says, ‘This mask is as useless as our governor’ ”.
The audience broke out into laughter and applause.
“It’s the only one I actually enjoy wearing!” McClintock interjected.
The Re-Open Cal Now Conference is being held from January 8-10 in Rancho Murieta, California at an Equestrian Center. Kind of appropriate, since our Governor and many of our elected officials have been making horse’s asses of themselves. However, the purpose of the Center was that the conference be as open air as possible in light of COVID restrictions. And speaking of that, because California is currently under another government-imposed lockdown, everyone who is attending the event (including yours truly) is in violation of said health department orders.
