SACRAMENTO A few weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom launched a campaign to keep himself in office, his recall defense team says it has raised $3.1 million nearly half of it from a dozen wealthy individuals and groups that have written the governor checks for $5,000 or more.
Unlike in a traditional campaign, the governor can raise unlimited funds to fight a recall. Donors are not limited to the normal $32,400 maximum.
