He notes his track record pushing for more development to boost San Diego’s housing supply, opening up shelters and banning people from sleeping on the sidewalks. Gray Davis in 2003 was also a bonanza of oddball candidates and attention-grabbing stunts.Įven so, Faulconer insists he’s “getting significant traction” with his policy proposals, arguing that - never mind the sensational media coverage - earnest conversations about policy are what many voters crave. No one should be surprised that the 2021 California recall is, so far, running high on spectacle.
John Cox, a Republican candidate for governor, kicks off his “Meet the Beast” bus tour on in Sacramento. That, too, got a little bit of play on Fox News, though nothing to rival the public attention showered on Jenner the human or Tag the bear. The next week, Faulconer rolled out another plan, this one to exempt military retirement income from state income taxes. If you missed that announcement, that’s probably because he rolled it out the same week that Newsom was on his statewide budget tour grabbing headlines with various plans to goose the state’s economy, including a proposal to send more cash directly to lower-income Californians. Last month, his campaign garnered some national media buzz when he announced a plan to nix state income taxes on individuals making less than $50,000 and joint filers earning as much as $100,000. So far, Faulconer has tried to make waves in a way that almost seems quaint in 2021: by releasing policy proposals. He touts endorsements from the traditional quarters of state GOP leadership.Īnd he really wants you to take the recall election seriously. Nor the porn star ( Mary Carey).Ī Republican former mayor of San Diego, he governed that once Republican but now reliably blue coastal city as a pro-immigrant, climate-change-believing, bilingual urbanist. Nor the pink Corvette-driving 1970s billboard model ( Angelyne). Nor is he the get-rich-quick YouTube star who insists he is “ not a stalker” (that’s a different Kevin - Kevin “Meet Kevin” Paffrath). That, of course, would be Caitlyn Jenner.

Gavin Newsom in the all-but-certain recall election that could be as soon as September.įaulconer is also not the Kardashian-adjacent, Olympian-turned-reality TV star whose campaign highlights include gabbing with Sean Hannity, selling merch and claiming, despite documented evidence, that she didn’t vote in the last election. You’re thinking of John Cox, the mild-mannered Republican and unsuccessful 2018 gubernatorial candidate who spent much of May palling around the state with a 1,000-pound Kodiak named Tag, hoping to siphon off some of the bear’s starpower in his effort to unseat Gov. Kevin Faulconer is not the guy with the bear.
