Former California Republican Representative Doug Ose announced his gubernatorial campaign to unseat Gov. Gavin Newsom who may be facing a recall election. Ose served in Congress from 1999 to 2005 said he plans to run for the position regardless of if the recall effort fails.

According to The Daily Wire:

Ose announced his run on the KFBK radio show, stating “I’ve come to the point where I’ve decided I’m going to run for governor here in the state of California, whether it be in the recall or in the regular cycle in 2022. I’ve lived here my entire life, I’ve never seen it so screwed up.”

He continued, “I mean, literally, no one knows if their school’s open. No one knows if businesses are open. No one knows where to get a shot or when to get it. No one knows when they can go back to work. I mean, the people in charge are putting forth a false narrative that everything’s great and it’s not…I’m running to try to fix that.”

In the ad, Ose states, “Do as I say, not as I do. That’s how Gavin Newsom operates. Newsom sided with the unions to close your kids’ public schools while his children were in their classrooms. Newsom dined in California’s fanciest restaurant while telling you and me to stay sheltered at home and supported lockdowns that destroyed mom and pop businesses.”

The recall effort aimed at unseating the Democrat governor is the response to his hypocritical and oppressive Covid-19 policies. However, Newsom has attempted to blame Trump supporters and the RNC for the effort which has collected over 2 million signatures. To hold the recall election 1.5 million signatures must be verified.
