And they're hoping that they can use any of Newsom's plans for the surplus this year against him during fire season when it gets closer to November.

BTW, Faulcaner can run centrist - he can get some homeless advocates and police reformers behind him, and he replaced a problematic and going senile long time Democratic representative who was elected Mayor prior to him, so he can possibly claim he can "fix problems" while reaching across the political aisle. He is the closest candidate that could be in a threatening position during the recall; the RWNJs will hold their nose and vote for him if Golden Calf T***** is coaxed to get involved.

Big money is involved, Democrats can't be complacent.

On edit, Laz saw him on a recent politics shoe; it looks like the GQP money is going to run Faulcaner as a LGTBQ friendly Drumphster. They just can't seem to give up that bitter orange Kool-aid.

That's not a winning strategy In California.

BTW, personal observation after 43 years in San Diego, being Mayor of this town is where political careers die. I'm waiting to see if Todd Gloria can overcome that curse...
