The big-donor results so far have affirmed the prevailing assumptions that Newsom would massively outraise his opponents as the incumbent Democrat with a strong chance of survival and no donor limits. They have also shown that the California Republican donor class so far sees Faulconer, a former San Diego mayor, as the party’s best shot at winning a statewide seat for the first time in 15 years.
Initial public polls serve as one scorecard of where things stand in the emerging recall campaign, but contributions reflect donor confidence in their candidates' chances. Supporters have so far poured more than $17 million into Newsom’s recall war chest. Nearly half has come from technology industry players and organized labor. Prominent political players like the real estate industry, Native American tribes and law firms have supplied millions more.
“Fundraising is indicative of how successful a candidate is, fundraising and endorsements — that is the objective measure of a candidate at this point,” said Matt Rexroad, a Republican consultant who is not working for any recall candidates. “Faulconer certainly has been gathering a lot of support in terms of endorsements and fundraising is indicative of support throughout the state.”
Those dynamics are a welcome affirmation for Newsom’s team. The governor has an overwhelming cash advantage, can boast promising poll numbers and is facing a fragmented Republican field. That solidifies Newsom’s position and allows him to project strength to both potential donors and to fellow Democrats still considering dipping their toes into the water.
You get what you vote for. Let California reap what they sow if they vote him back. Can’t change crazy.
