Here's Larry Elder's positions on some critical matters: (Re: California Newsom Recall)

VOTE NO (I know posting this here is preaching to the choir, but look at the things this guy is for)

https://calmatters.org/projects/newsom-recall-candidates-larry-elder/

Likes: School choice, public safety programs, “robe-raging”

Dislikes: Teachers’ unions, government welfare programs, climate change “alarmists”

If he becomes governor:

Would address homelessness by empowering religious institutions and nonprofits — not the government — to help people become self-sufficient

Would suspend the California Environmental Quality Act to allow more development of housing units

Says there should be no minimum wage and that pay should be set by the free market

Would oppose defunding the police

Would overturn Proposition 47, a voter-approved measure that reclassified certain theft and drug possession offenses from felonies to misdemeanors

Would repeal mask mandates and mandates requiring teachers and school staff and requiring state workers to get a COVID-19 vaccination or face regular testing

Would declare a state of emergency for California’s public schools, provide vouchers to families they could use at any school they want and would increase competition through charter and private schools after initially saying he would fire the state’s 15,000 “worst” teachers

Supports overturning Roe v. Wade and allowing states to decide abortion restrictions

without the support of the Democratic supermajority in both houses of the Legislature.

Cute MAGA wish list, though.

Nobody in real estate wants to see their $1 million homes suddenly lose value

it brings you to Elder's instagram where he appears to be wearing a robe, however if you click on the little volume icon it seems to be broken (at least for me).
