Former California Dem leader: If Newsom prevails, schools will likely be shut down again
A top California Democrat, who has endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, warned Tuesday that the Golden State's next generation will be disadvantaged if the incumbent is successful in beating back the recall.
Former State Sen. Gloria Romero told Fox News that education is a top issue for her because of her upbringing. She is the daughter of a mother with a sixth grade education, who went on to earn a Ph.D. and chair the state's Senate Education Committee.
"To me, education is a civil rights issue, and especially in California with over 6 million children in the public school system," she said, lamenting the percentages of minority children in the state who are unable to perform in math and reading at a grade-level standard.

Newsom recall defense gets business donor boost
The effort to fight a recall of California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has raised roughly $83 million, a number that dwarfs the fundraising of the governor's most formidable GOP rival, radio host Larry Elder.
While a major share of Newsom's haul came from groups one might expect – such as the Democratic Party, unions and Planned Parenthood – the governor enjoyed a boost from some big names in the business world who pitched in to keep him in office.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings led the charge with a $3 million contribution, while billionaire investor and major left-wing donor George Soros pitched in a cool $1 million. Priscilla Chan, wife of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, gave another $750,000.

Former Recall Gavin Newsom media spokesman issues statement regarding recall results
"Today we had a political Earthquake in California. Whatever the results of tonight's Recall Election, a loud and clear TREMOR has run through California's political class," Randy Economy, the former senior advisor and official media spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign effort said in a statement Tuesday.
The statement continued: "Over the last few months, millions and millions of California voters RATTLED State leaders and pushed back on Gavin Newsom's disastrous performance as Governor. Newsom severely injured California's small businesses and individuals. He inappropriately restricted the freedoms of citizens and religious organizations. Citizens of all parties and all backgrounds have SHAKEN the State's leaders and let it be known they can an will be heard. The Recall Gavin Newsom Movement has VIBRATED in every corner of California. Perhaps this Recall is just a FORESHOCK to a movement of greater magnitude."

They fear that should Newsom survive the recall Tuesday, he will impose even stricter policies, subjecting children to prolonged and unnecessary suffering.
"I want my kids to have a normal life," Suverna, a stay-at-home mother of two in Los Angeles County, told Fox News on Monday. "It's ridiculous, all these restrictions. The burden all fell on the shoulders of these young kids."
Jonathan Zachreson, founder of Reopen California Schools and a father of three who lives in Placer County, explained the evidence that shutting down schools has had a devastating impact on children.

David Marcus: California recall result hinges on this key issue
As the sun set over the great Pacific in Venice Beach on Monday, so too did it set on the California recall election. With only Election Day left to go most ballots have already been cast. Gavin Newsom’s future rests in votes that now mostly just have to be counted.
On the Venice boardwalk with its burger spots and mildly offensive T-shirts for sale, signs of the election were few and far between.
A small camera crew for a cable news network interviewed some passersby. One older gentleman doing a workout in his Make America Great Again hat exercised while listening to conservative radio. But mostly what was in the air was the wafting smell of weed, not excitement over Election Day.
"I want him to be recalled but it’s not going to happen," J.J. told me. I heard that a lot.

Larry Elder, GOP candidate for California governor, constantly vilified by the press ahead of recall
Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder could make history as California’s first Black governor if he unseats Gov. Gavin Newsom in Tuesday’s recall election – but the liberal media hasn’t done the conservative radio host any favors.

Fox News contributor Leo Terrell has called coverage of Elder "disgraceful" and Fox News Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock was particular peeved that that a racially charged attack on Elder went largely unreported by prominent liberal news organizations.
