Proponents of keeping California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in office shelled out big bucks last month to fight the recall drive to remove him and are currently airing a television spot that distorts the positions of his GOP rivals.
The Los Angeles Times reported, “Gov. Gavin Newsom and his allies boosted the Democrat’s chances of beating the recall attempt by significantly outspending his opponents in August, putting more than $36 million into efforts that included TV advertising and social media, phone-banking, door-knocking and texting.” According to the Times, “The five top Republicans running to replace Newsom and pro-recall committees combined spent less than a third as much over the same period, according to campaign finance disclosures filed Thursday with the secretary of state’s office.”
