Fellow Conservative,

Gavin Newsom has failed Californians on so many levels that some days, it’s hard to keep track.

One of the worst travesties in California under Newsom’s watch has been the school closures — especially when it comes to minority students who were already underserved and struggling.

Just take a look at this recent headline in the Los Angeles Times:

The article points out that non native English speakers are not faring well with online learning. With more than 1.2 million students (nearly 20%) considered to be English learners in California — we have a major problem on our hands.

Martha Hernandez, the director of Californians Together, a nonprofit that advocates for English learners, called it “an educational pandemic.” She said, “We already had issues of an achievement gap, opportunity gaps, lack of access, lack of equity. Now that’s just exacerbated, and it will be a huge challenge. It will have a big impact for many, many years.”

Californians have suffered too long under the failed leadership of Gavin Newsom and one-party rule in Sacramento.

We need to start putting our kids FIRST, and make sure that all students have access to the best education we can offer.

I’m ready to lead the charge for a better tomorrow in California. All students deserve a chance at a future. As your next governor, I’ll make sure they get it.

Sincerely,
Kevin Faulconer
