Meanwhile, homicides in California shot up in 2020, though they still remain low by historical standards. Whether that increase is a pandemic-era anomaly or a sign of things to come, it’s another political vulnerability for a governor who has been a stalwart liberal on crime. Recall proponents, who held a July 20 press event at the state Capitol with relatives of murder victims, certainly think so.
What he’s done:
End the death penalty (for now): Newsom made no secret of his opposition to capital punishment during his 2018 campaign. Sure enough, one of his first acts as governor was to place a statewide moratorium on executions. It’s not a permanent ban there are still more than 700 people on death row and a future governor can undo the move with the stroke of a pen. Recall supporters are counting on it.

/ California Gov. Gavin Newsom gives his update to the state s 2021-22 budget via video on Friday, May 14, 2021.
After spending the week touring the state and promoting a $100 billion pandemic recovery package bolstered by a stunning $75.7 billion surplus and additional federal dollars California Gov. Gavin Newsom presented the rest of his revised budget in Sacramento Friday.
The $267.8 billion spending plan is an updated version of Newsom’s January budget, which proposed $227 billion in spending. The revised budget incorporates the surplus and $27 billion in federal pandemic relief approved in March.
The governor said his proposed budget will “set this state up for not just a comeback, but a remarkable decade and arguably century ahead” as it recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
