Watch more on iWantTFC California Governor Gavin Newsom is ramping up efforts to draw support ahead of the special recall election taking place on September 14. The Democratic governor says the recall is unfortunately shifting priorities during a time when the state continues to battle the coronavirus and its contagious Delta variant.
In an online press conference held specifically to reach out to the Asian American Pacific Islander media, Newsom touted the success of California under his leadership. He said that most of the progress he made throughout his political career has been made possible through the AAPI community, dating back to his win as mayor of San Francisco in 2004.
California's first Fil-Am Attorney General Rob Bonta, whom Newsom appointed earlier this year, also threw in his support for the embattled governor. "Elections are not spectator sports. We need to exercise our fundamental right to vote. Our vote is our voice, and we need to make sure we each do our part to beat back this cynical Republican effort," urged Bonta.
