SACRAMENTO
The campaign to oust Gov. Gavin Newsom from office in a recall election saw a pair of competing spectacles Tuesday, as one Republican opponent posed for photos with a burly Kodiak bear and another sought to leverage her celebrity status on national television.
The events woke up what has so far been a quiet march toward a historic recall election. Last week, elections officials reported that backers of the effort had collected enough voter signatures to trigger a special election, giving voters the chance to remove the governor and select someone to fill the remaining year on his current term.
