SACRAMENTO — Republicans vying to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom in the recall election will have to overcome an enormous fundraising gulf, but latecomer Larry Elder has quickly vaulted ahead of his GOP rivals, new campaign filings show.declaring his candidacy last month
But Elder's fundraising surge serves as further confirmation that he is now the top Republican among replacement candidates.
After Elder, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer led the GOP pack, raising roughly $3.4 million between a pair of campaign accounts and maintaining about $1.2 million in cash on hand. Much of that money flowed from longtime California Republican donors in a reflection of Faulconer’s appeal to the state’s GOP establishment.Republican Assemblymember Kevin Kiley collected about $834,000 and had about $572,000 on hand.
Donors to Republican candidates can give no more than $32,400, the limit for a gubernatorial election cycle. However, Republicans can open separate accounts to collect unlimited sums if they use that money to campaign for recalling Newsom rather than their own candidacy. Some candidates have opened such accounts but not generated anywhere near the money that Newsom has.
Larry us your money maker😂 but you still have no policy making skills.
We California voters will defeat this republican effort to subvert our will. They cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas, and will take every opportunity to gain power by other means. Not gonna happen.
This is a waste of energy & money. Rs know they can't win a statewide general election in CA w 2candidates. The only way to win w the 25-30% they can get, is to use a recall with 2candidates. It's a hail Mary pass. It's a strategy. Avoid the general election It's about the math

Oh God no!
It's all a grift. That's also so dangerous it could lead to the 5th largest economy in the world having a lunatic in charge. And we've just seen how lunatic grifter in charge works out on a national scale. VoteNoOnRecall
Elder is one of those people that says a lot of interesting things but has never done any of them.
The grift is strong.
Check how much from China since he does provide content for NTD.
Waste of taxpayer money. Don’t like him? Then vote him out in a year.
Elder will lose.
