Ex-San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer signs petition to oust Newsom

[Zorro]

San Diego’s former Republican mayor Kevin Faulconer announced Saturday he had signed a petition to recall Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Faulconer told The San Diego Union-Tribune as recently as last month that he is considering his own run for governor. He served seven years as San Diego’s mayor.

Faulconer said on Facebook and Twitter around 10:30 a.m. Saturday he signed the recall effort because of what he said were jobs leaving the state, increased homelessness and difficulty of the state’s unemployment office in issuing checks during the COVID-19 crisis.

“Every Californian fed up with the governor’s hypocrisy and failures should sign the recall petition,” Faulconer wrote. “Either through a recall or a regular election, it’s time to start holding the governor accountable.”
