Elder wrote on Twitter: “Politicians know that I am the only candidate who can defeat Gavin Newson-that’s why they don’t want me to vote.” “They are using the pranks they invented to block Live at the gate of the governor’s office and make sure they stay in power.”

When Elder announced his candidacy on July 12, given his appearances on talk radio and Fox News for many years, he immediately became one of the most well-known Republicans in the field and was seen as a further inspiration to the Republican Party Candidates for voters. Jack Pittney, a professor of political science at Claremont McKenna College, said that although Elder may spark the interest of many voters, if he is not on the list, most Republicans are unlikely to stay at home.

Pitney said: “I think Republicans will show up because they hate Newsom, not because they are special fans of any alternative candidate.”

Among other candidates, the campaign of former San Diego mayor Kevin Faulkner has disputes with state officials over whether he can be listed as the city’s “retired” mayor. YouTube creator Kevin Pavlas said he plans to sue To get his YouTube nickname on the ballot. At the same time, it is reported that the reality TV star Kaitlyn Jenner, who is an Olympian, is filming a reality show in Australia, even though she said on Twitter on Friday that she and her campaign team are “in full operation”.

The state’s list of 41 candidates announced on Saturday lacked the demeanor of the more than 100 candidates in California’s last dismissal of governor in 2003. But it includes a range of candidates from anonymous to famous, including one who put himself on a billboard in Los Angeles in the 1980s, and other high-profile names such as Deputy Sheriff Denver Stoner ( Denver Stoner) and Nickolas Wildstar, who claims to be a musician/entrepreneur/father.

The list includes 21 Republicans, 8 Democrats, 1 liberal, 9 independents, and two members of the Green Party. The ballots will be mailed next month, and the official election date is September 14.

Each candidate lists a position or other descriptive words, but the term “predecessor” is not allowed. Faulconer’s spokesperson John Burke said that Faulconer’s campaign asked him to be listed as the “retired” mayor of San Diego, and state officials now dispute this. He will leave the office in 2020 and mentioning his previous role will help improve his name recognition.

Paffrath said he plans to file a lawsuit after being refused to list himself as Kevin “Meet Kevin” Paffrath on the ballot. He pointed out that another candidate was allowed to run as Chauncey “Slim” Killens, who claimed to be a retired correctional officer.

No Democrat with political status has decided to run for the election. Opinion polls show that Newsom is likely to win. But if he loses, there will be no mature Democrats in the alternative candidates, which may open the way for Republicans to gain seats.

Voters will receive a ballot with two questions: whether Newsom should be recalled and who should replace him. If more than half of voters say “yes” to the first question, then the person who gets the most votes on the list of potential replacements is the new governor of the most populous state in the United States. Since there are so many candidates and no clear front-runner, someone may win with less than 25% of the vote.

Efforts to promote Newsom’s removal mainly stemmed from frustration with the closure of schools and businesses that have been operating for a long time during the pandemic, which has disrupted the daily lives of millions of Californians. But many voters did not pay attention, and no new candidates appeared on Saturday. It seems that they may rearrange the trajectory of the game.

According to the Office of the Secretary of State, candidates who have submitted the required documents include:

—— Pavlat, 29, He provides financial advice to his 1.7 million YouTube subscribers. It is a good thing for Democrats to say that he has no “political baggage”. His suggestions include building underground tunnels for new roads and cutting income taxes.

– Angelyne is the only single candidate to vote. She is an entertainer. She gained fame in Los Angeles in the 1980s by purchasing billboard space to promote her name and image. She is listed as “non-partisan,” and her platform includes an annual fancy dress party, where citizens dress like governors, official bubble bath days and “politician recovery.”

—— Jeff Hewitt, 68 years old, He is the director of Hebin County. He wrote in the “Orange County Chronicle” that he was running because “this state no longer accommodates dreams, cultivates ideas, or solves problems.” He believes that the country needs a new approach and is operating as a liberal. .

-69-year-old Joel Ventresca is a Democrat, but he says he is further to the left than Newsom. He calls Newsom a “corporate, institution, internal Democrat.” Ventresca’s main campaign platform is to provide everyone in California with “cradle to grave” free healthcare and education. He retired from San Francisco International Airport in 2018 and held various positions there.

– Sam Gallucci, 60 years old, Republican, former technical director, senior pastor of Embrace! Church in Oxnard, California. He also operates services that provide assistance to women, children and immigrants at risk. During his technical career, he was promoted in the enterprise to executive vice president and general manager of software manufacturer PeopleSoft, which was acquired by Oracle for $10.3 billion in 2004.

—— Caitlin Jenner, 71 years old, Is a lifelong Republican, trying to use her reputation to win unexpected victory. She won the men’s decathlon gold medal at the 1976 Olympics, married the Kardashian family, became a reality TV star with them, and became a transgender in 2015. She described herself as a fiscal conservative with a liberal attitude on social issues. But the facts have proved that she is easy to lose her attitude in the interview, and did not issue any important policy recommendations.

—— John Cox, 66 years oldHe was the 2018 Republican candidate for governor, but lost to Newsom by a landslide. This time, the multi-millionaire businessman showed the performer’s instincts, using a Kodiak bear and a huge trash ball to campaign. He has long sought public office, including losing in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate and presidential elections.

—— Doug Oss, 66 years old, Is a multi-millionaire businessman and former Republican congressman, representing the Sacramento area from 1999 to 2005. Ossey said he is ready to work cross-party, reopen the school and allow the economy to fully recover. He called Sacramento broken, pointing to the crisis of homelessness, rising gasoline taxes and rising crime rates. He briefly ran for governor in 2018.

– 46-year-old Democrat Jacqueline McGowan (Jacqueline McGowan) is a stockbroker who later became an advocate for marijuana policy reform. She is trying to draw attention to what she calls the crisis of the legal marijuana market, which has been struggling to gain a foothold under strict supervision and taxation, while facing fierce competition from the booming underground market. She will cut marijuana taxes and push communities that have not yet established a local market to open their doors for legal sales.

—— Kevin Falcona, 54 years oldHe is a Republican who was twice elected as the mayor of San Diego, who is inclined to the Democratic Party. In view of his centrist qualifications in the strong Democratic California state, he has long been regarded as a potential candidate for the whole state. He claimed to be a problem solver and touted his work to keep homeless camps off the street, and they spread unscrupulously in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

—— Steve Chavez Lodge, 62, Is a retired homicide detective and small business owner who served on a local government committee. He was notorious when he was engaged to reality star Vicki Gunvalson, who appeared in “The Real Housewives of Orange County” for 15 years. Republicans said that “California was completely collapsed” and promised to “let the government disappear from our lives…from our wallets.”

—— Kevin Keeley, 36 years old, A Republican state senator from the Sacramento area, he became the most popular among Republican volunteers who collected petition signatures for the recall. He built a reputation as a strong conservative and one of Newson’s most outspoken critics.
