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 Californias 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 states 15,000 worst teachers
Supports overturning Roe v. Wade and allowing states to decide abortion restrictions

Cute MAGA wish list, though.

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

(21,857 posts)5. if you click on the article link it is highlighted, however
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).
