I grew up in a family of Democrats but I do not agree with the way the Democratic party has handled California's response to the Coronavirus pandemic. As a long-time resident of California, I am greatly disappointed in the job Gavin Newsom has done as Governor and I believe he should be immediately recalled. His authoritarian and so-called "progressive" response to the Covid-19 pandemic has been simply atrocious and he is destroying California’s economy.

His unwise decision to lock down most of California has caused hundreds of thousands of Californians to lose their jobs and there is no end to Newsom’s bad policies in site as he plans to keep California locked down and out of work for the foreseeable future. California’s unemployment levels remain astronomically high and millions of Californians are struggling just to survive. To make things worse, Newsom has shown himself to be an elitist hypocrite, closing restaurants and other businesses while dining at an expensive French restaurant while not following his own strict Covid-19 protocols. We need new, commonsense leadership in California because Gavin Newsom and his liberal policies are destroying California. For these reasons and many more, Gavin Newsom should be recalled immediately.
