When a recall succeeds, lieutenant governor should step in

by Guest Commentary August 4, 2021August 3, 2021

California law should be changed to require the lieutenant governor to serve if a recall is successful. It would stop gubernatorial recall abuse, focus both political parties on winning general elections and avoid many of the $215 million in costs for this exercise in democracy.

The potential dates are narrowing for the Gavin Newsom recall election.
