The official Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition with Signatures reads:
"TO THE HONORABLE GAVIN NEWSOM: Pursuant to California Elections Code section 11020, the undersigned registered qualified voters of the State of California, hereby give notice, we are the proponents of a recall petition and we intend to seek your recall and removal from the office of Governor in the State of California and to demand election of a successor in that office.
The grounds for this recall are as Follows: Gavin Newsom's tenure has been marked by a series of catastrophic failures that directly impact our daily lives. His gross mismanagement during the Los Angeles County fires, with inadequate resources and delayed responses, left communities devastated. Under his watch, we've seen an unbearable rise in the cost of living - from gasoline to electricity to insurance. Crime rates have soared, with policies seemingly more lenient on offenders than on ensuring our safety. Homelessness has become a visible crisis on our streets, reflecting a failure in meaningful action. The drug epidemic rages on, and border issues remain unaddressed, straining our resources further. Despite our high tax contributions, there's little to show for it; our funds are misallocated to political agendas rather than our pressing needs. This recall is our call for leadership that prioritizes Californians' safety, affordability, and well-being over political games. It's time for change."
Quote from Randy Economy, Chairman, SavingCalifornia.vote
"This recall isn't just another political maneuver – we're seeing lifelong Democrats join our cause because Governor Newsom has failed every Californian, regardless of party. When families can't afford groceries, when businesses are fleeing the state, and when our streets are unsafe, that's not a partisan issue. This recall is different because Newsom himself is different – he's become completely disconnected from the reality of everyday Californians struggling to survive in the state he's mismanaging."
Quote from Fraser Ross, Owner of Kitson
“The recall will happen this time as the incompetence of Gavin Newsom, along with other political leaders, can not be tolerated anymore. The destruction of California is at an all-time high; I’ve had to deal with shoplifting at all my Kitson stores and take matters into my own hands, and truly I just have had enough now. The destruction of our Palisades store, where many in the community lost everything in the fires, all happened under Gavin’s watch. He needs to read the room as many of his supporters no longer agree with his policies.”
New Coalition, Saving California, Launches Newsom Recall Effort in California
Governor Gavin Newsom to Be Formally Served Recall Papers in Next Two Weeks Following Los Angeles Wildfire Catastrophe
LOS ANGELES - Saving California, a newly formed non-partisan coalition of working families, professionals, and community advocates, announced today the launch of a recall campaign targeting Governor Gavin Newsom.
Founded in late 2024 by Randy Economy, a senior advisor and media spokesperson of the 2021 California Governor Gavin Newsom Recall — otherwise known as “The People’s Recall!”, the coalition unites Californians who are increasingly disillusioned with the state's direction under Newsom’s leadership.
“Under the reign of Governor Newsom, living in California has become impossible for average people through years of poor policies which have increased the costs of living, increased crime, increased drug use and homelessness, increased the cost of burden on small businesses and communities, while decreasing our professional standards, education standards, the disappearance of billions of taxpayers dollars to failed pet programs, and our public services,” said Economy.
“This was most recently demonstrated by the woefully unprepared and incompetent response to the fires currently ravaging the Los Angeles area. Just today, Governor Newsom was asked “What is your plan to deal with the lack of water to deal with the fires?” and he responded by saying ‘local folks are gonna figure it out.’ That’s not leadership! Leadership is solving problems, not passing the buck and the blame, and Californians can no longer afford to have an empty suit occupying the governorship. It’s time for Californians to take back control of our mismanaged government, and using the recall tool is our last hope.”
The coalition plans to serve recall papers to Governor Newsom within two weeks, citing growing concerns over California’s rising taxes, cost of living, and ineffective emergency responses - issues that have contributed to the state’s first population decline in history.
"Governor Gavin Newsom's governance has been marked by a series of catastrophic failures, particularly his mismanagement of the recent wildfires, which have led to unprecedented displacement and destruction. Wildfires are a common and well-known issue in California. The fact that Governor Newsom has not been able to come up with any plan or prep after six years as governor and eight years as lieutenant governor shows that he is completely unprepared and lacks the compassion and will to lead California any longer,” said Dr. Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD, and Executive Board Member of Saving California.
“His administration has also imposed burdensome taxes on Californians, exacerbating the state's affordability crisis. Crime rates have soared under his watch, showing a clear lack of effective policy to ensure public safety. Moreover, his energy policies have not only failed to provide relief at the pump but have contributed to economic strain on families and businesses across the state. It's time for a change, as these issues demonstrate that Californians can no longer afford Newsom’s inept governance needs during these critical times.”
Additional board members include James Bradley, former US Senate Candidate; Susan “Daya” Hamwi, a mediator, family lawyer, and health freedom advocate; Neil C. Flyer, a Southern California business owner and long-time Cable Television executive; Art Olivier, former Mayor of Bellflower and vice presidential nominee for the Libertarian Party in 2000; Susan Walsh, a State Delegate of the CAGOP, Derrick Whitney, an entrepreneur and strategic advisor specializing in cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies, and many others.
