THE BALLOT
This is a special election to recall the Governor of California. All
voters will receive the same ballot no matter which political party they
are registered with or if they have no party preference.
There are two contests on the ballot.
The first contest asks if the California Governor should be recalled.
The second contest lists replacement candidates should the recall
pass.
If more than 50% of the voters statewide vote "yes" to recall the
Governor, then the replacement candidate receiving the majority of
the votes statewide will be elected as governor.
You can write in a candidate for this office.
The candidate’s party preference (or none) is listed with their name.
More than one candidate may have the same party preference.

262373_01_San Joaquin SJOA09141901 - VIP E .indd 5 7/13/2021 4:41:23 PMProponents' Statement of Reasons for
the Recall and the Governor's Answer
The recall petition circulated throughout the state included
a Statement of Reasons for a recall and the Governor’s Answer
to the Statement, which are provided below pursuant to
Elections Code 11325
Proponents’ Statement of Reasons
TO THE HONORABLE GAVIN NEWSOM: Pursuant to section
11020, California Elections Code, the undersigned registered
qualified voters of the State of California, hereby give notice, we are
the proponents of a recall petition and we intend to seek your recall
and removal from the office of Governor in the State of California and
to demand election of a successor in that office.
The grounds for this recall are as Follows: Governor Newsom has
implemented laws which are detrimental to the citizens of this state
and our way of life. Laws he endorsed favor foreign nationals, in our
country illegally, over that of our own citizens. People in this state
suffer the highest taxes in the nation, the highest homelessness
rates, and the lowest quality of life as a result. He has imposed
sanctuary state status and fails to enforce immigration laws. He
unilaterally over-ruled the will of the people regarding the death
penalty. He seeks to impose additional burdens on our state by the
following; removing the protections of Proposition 13, rationing our
water use, increasing taxes and restricting parental rights. Having no
other recourse, we the people have come together to take this
action, remedy these misdeeds and prevent further injustices.

The recall petition circulated throughout the state included
a Statement of Reasons for a recall and the Governor’s Answer
to the Statement, which are provided below pursuant to
Elections Code 11325
Governor’s Answer to the Statement
WARNING: THIS UNWARRANTED RECALL EFFORT WILL COST
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS 81 MILLION DOLLARS! IT IS BEING
PUSHED BY POLITICAL EXTREMISTS SUPPORTING
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HATEFUL ATTACKS ON CALIFORNIA.
In 2018 California voters elected Governor Gavin Newsom by historic
margins.
As Governor, Newsom is working to 1) increase funding for public
education, 2) protect and secure Californians’ health and health care,
3) improve water, roads, and bridges, 4) address the challenges of
housing affordability and homelessness, and 5) prepare for the
threats of wildfires.
Our budget is balanced. Our fiscal reserves are unprecedented. Our
economy and employment are historically strong.
Yet a handful of partisan activists supporting President Trump and
his dangerous agenda to divide America are trying to overturn the
definitive will of California voters and bring Washington’s broken
government to California with this recall effort.
The last thing California needs is another wasteful special election,
supported by those who demonize California’s people and attack
California’s values.
Do not be fooled - California’s police officers, firefighters, first
responders, public school teachers, health providers, and business
leaders all STRONGLY OPPOSE this costly recall.
DO NOT HAND OVER YOUR SIGNATURE, YOUR SUPPORT OR
YOUR PERSONAL, PRIVATE INFORMATION TO THIS
DESTRUCTIVE RECALL SCHEME.
