The California Exodus

For the first time in state history, we lost a seat in Congress this week. If the California Exodus is a myth, apparently the Census Bureau is in on it.

We actually would have lost two seats if Gavin Newsom and the Legislature hadn’t spent $182 million to juice the Census headcount. Florida and Texas, meanwhile, gained several seats.

California’s loss reflects population changes over the last decade. But much of the damage was done by Newsom the last two years. His own Administration reports 136,000 more people moved out than moved in during just one of those years.

Overall, a staggering 53 percent of residents say they’re contemplating a departure. California was once a place where anyone could get ahead; it’s now a place many can’t wait to leave behind. Our state’s inherent beauty and countless wonders are being overwhelmed by the failure of our politics.

The Recall is a chance to fix our politics. I believe a political realignment in California is not only possible but long overdue. We got a glimpse of this last November, when voters rebuked the Legislature and Special Interests on seven different Propositions.

And yesterday, a new PPIC poll showed that 68 percent of Californians identify as conservative or middle-of-the-road. The poll found the number of conservatives and liberals in the state is about equal.

Newsom is well aware of all this. That’s why the only play in his anti-Recall playbook is scorched-earth attacks, often on reality itself. (PolitiFact’s last two fact checks, incidentally, are of me and Newsom.) His spokesman even dismissed the Exodus as “people with political axes to grind who want to put the hate on California.”

Actually, I love California, and I’m sure you do as well. What we hate is that it’s being ruined by a corrupt government – one that has now corrupted absolutely.

Help me fight to save our great state

I don't believe those poll numbers to be accurate. If you met Californians you'd know they are anything but conservative or moderate.

There's a lot of California that isn't on the coast. There's a loooot of Republicans in California, but they're outnumbered by the cities.

All Eyes on California

This weekend I addressed the Young Republican National Conference, with delegates gathered from all 50 states. They want to help us recall Gavin Newsom.

My speech was about our movement's national significance. While the Recall is first and foremost a fight for California’s future, it’s also a blaring warning to America: Don’t lurch down our failed path.

At this moment, that warning is urgently needed. Newsom has called California the “roadmap to success” for Joe Biden. On Inauguration Day, he sent off a delusional 7-page letter touting all the “policy innovations” for Biden to nationalize. An LA Times story began: “Make America California Again? That’s Biden’s Plan.”

Since then, several Newsom officials have failed up and joined the new Administration – and in his address to Congress last week, Biden rapturously embraced a bill modeled on California’s disastrous AB 5. The fear that our state’s pathologies would metastasize is rapidly being realized.

Stopping this in its tracks is crucial. As we’ve seen in California, corruption begets corruption. Once Special Interests capture the machinery of government, they use it to entrench their dominant position. They enrich themselves, expand their power, and install politicians who are all the more subservient.

Gavin Newsom represents the apex of this vicious cycle. His assumption of the governorship wiped away any pretense of politics serving the public interest. His self-coronation during COVID blotted out anything that remained of representative democracy. His de-legitimization of the Recall would seal off any hope for a revival of self-government.

But in the coming months, California’s corrupt Capitol will be under a national microscope. All Americans will see how the gift of our Founding Fathers is being spoiled by the grift of our floundering governor. If Newsom is removed, politicians in Washington D.C. and across the country will have to take note: voters aren’t fond of political racketeering.

What’s at stake in the Recall, then, is not just the trajectory of California state government but perhaps the course of modern American history. In the months ahead, we have a chance to both save our state and spare our country the same fate.

Support the fight for California's future

There are more Republicans in California than like the 10 smallest Republican states combined.

Justice at the Ballot Box

The Third District Court of Appeal has ruled against us. We are immediately seeking review by the California Supreme Court.

It’s an odd opinion. The Court sided with me and James on almost every issue, recognizing that our case raises “matters of great public concern regarding the Governor’s orders in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic emergency.” The Court also rejected several far-fetched statutory arguments Newsom made to enlarge his emergency powers.

Yet the Justices still found a way to avoid reining the Governor in, latching on to a 2011 case out of Houston that not even Newsom considered relevant. Jarringly, it became the first court to ever say a Governor has "the power to legislate.”

This intermediate court was always Newsom’s preferred forum. All three Justices worked for prior Governors; two also worked for the Attorney General. Yet we still won almost every argument. It appears the Justices saw that the Constitution requires striking down the Emergency Services Act but wanted to leave such a momentous action to the California Supreme Court.

So yes, we’re taking our case to the high court. But we’re not waiting for judges to restore our free society. We the People have taken matters into our own hands. Yesterday the Secretary of State announced the final tally of verified Recall signatures: 1,719,943. Almost a quarter million to spare.

For a year we’ve fought Newsom’s corrupt autocracy in every way possible. We’ve had the totality of state power arrayed against us. We’ve been on the receiving end of abuses we never thought possible. We’ve been attacked in the most vile of ways.

But our efforts haven't been in vain. Applying constant pressure, we’ve cut through tangled webs of corruption and cleared out an opening for sweeping change. We've readied our broken political institutions for a root-and-branch overhaul. We’ve built a citizens movement the likes of which this state has never seen.

Now, we seek justice at the ballot box.

I need your help to keep fighting
