CA gubernatorial candidate Kevin Faulconer says Gov. Newsom trying to 'partisan-ize' recall
Fox News
California Republican gubernatorial candidate Kevin Faulconer said Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to "partisan" this year's recall election, which is being held on Sept. 14.
"Gavin Newsom is trying to nationalize [and] partisan-ize the election," Faulconer said in an interview with Fox News. "What he doesn't realize is that this is a referendum on his failures here in California, pure and simple. It's a failure on schools, it's a failure on skyrocketing homelessness, [a] dramatic rise in crime and his lack of preparedness for wildfires." Faulconer is one of dozens of gubernatorial candidates challenging Newsom in September and one of several high-profile Republican candidates including former Olympian-turned-TV star Caitlyn Jenner, conservative talk radio host Larry Elder and businessman John Cox, all of whom have expressed the belief that Californians want significant change after Newsom. "Something is absolutely happening in California," Faulconer said. "There is an awakening of people that want change, and it is across the board. It is Republicans, it's Independents and it's Democrats. …It's time to make a change, and it's time to make our state more affordable."More Related News
