Membership—Vote NO on the Recall

The membership of Cupertino for All has unanimously recommended voting NO on the Recall of Governor Gavin Newsom, with no recommendation on who should replace Newsom if recalled.


Tuesday, September 14 is the last day to vote in this Special Election—make sure your voice is heard! 


While we believe that many have valid criticisms of the Governor, we disagree that California’s recall process is the mechanism that should be used. California’s Recall system requires that a replacement only receive a plurality of the vote share, while disqualifying the incumbent from the ballot entirely. This means that a candidate could theoretically receive less than 15% of the vote and still be voted in as a replacement Governor. 

Additionally, Cupertino for All is greatly concerned by the lack of clarity on housing expressed by the alternative choices. For these reasons, we are recommending a NO on the Recall vote.

Make sure you turn in your ballot before September 14, 2021.
