VOTER VOICES: Here's what some of the voters in California's recall election have to say about Gov. Gavin Newsom and the candidates who are seeking to take his place.
Ruiz said her top concern is homelessness, but she believes Newsom is “trying his best to clean up the streets.”She said she has heard conspiracy theories about the election’s integrity but does not believe them. “It’s very silly,” she said.Bradley Pierce, 21, voted against recalling Newsom at a high school in San Diego in a diverse neighborhood with a large refugee population.
Cusumano used to cut the hair of former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who he described as “a San Diego man, someone who is decent.” Mendoza said she is not worried about the recall effort succeeding, but she also made sure to cast her ballot. “We don’t want Elder in office,” she said. “This is ridiculous. We just got Trump out. We don’t want a Trump puppet.”Than Nguyen, 66, said he voted to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom over his comment last year that the coronavirus spread through a nail salon, which offended many in the Vietnamese American community.
That’s why the hair salon owner from the Orange County city of Westminster said she voted to recall him. “I think he’s a fair leader and looks out for our community,” she said. “He has more experience. And besides, he’s a true Republican.”Denise Cain, 51, a Republican homemaker in Lafayette, California, voted to recall Newsom because of “the trash, the homeless, the fires, the bias toward what businesses could be open and which could be closed during COVID and the lockdown,” she said, continuing a long list.She did not vote for Newsom in 2018.
Fonseca moved to the city 40 years ago from Nicaragua, when his home country was going through a civil war. He said he voted for Trump in 2016 because he talked about ending the authoritarian governments in Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela.“Larry Elder is the same thing. He just lies. We don’t want any more lies,” he added.Janet Webb, 69, of Lafayette, said she voted to for Elder because of Newsom’s stance on vaccine mandates.
Marsh said he chose Elder to replace Newsom, adding he used to listen to Elder’s radio program and identifies with his conservative views on abortion and social programs. The self-described progressive couple said they voted for candidate Kevin Paffrath in case the recall succeeds, calling him their “backup Democrat.”
