96 Fellow Conservative,
Kevin continues to set himself apart as the leading
candidate to recall Gavin Newsom, building clear momentum by focusing on
the issues that matter most to California voters.
SF Gate analyzed
his strong performance in the month of May and how he has set himself
apart from the other candidates in the recall as a "serious"
issue-driven candidate who represents the best chance for Republicans to
defeat Newsom this year.

HIGHLIGHTS:
On Mayor
Faulconer's growing momentum in the recall:
Meanwhile, former San
Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer — the only other high-profile Republican
running in the Gavin Newsom recall election — had a pretty good month
by most standards.
He unveiled a middle class tax cut plan he touted
as "the largest middle class tax cut" in the history of California,
avoided negative headlines and drew high praise during an appearance on
"Ruthless," a popular conservative podcast that regularly features
prominent Republican politicians. Jenner pulled a no-show on the
podcast a week prior.
"We need serious people to fight what the left
is up to and as soon as we sort of made that statement, we had a whole
bunch of people in California reach out to us to say, 'Have you checked
out Mayor Kevin Faulconer?'" said podcast co-host Josh Holmes, former
chief of staff to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. "Because this
might be the guy."
On how Mayor Faulconer has set himself apart from
other candidates:
When compared with Cox and Jenner, Faulconer has
been decidedly serious. The mayor's "Ruthless" appearance could help
him consolidate support among California Republicans, and Faulconer
likes to highlight the fact that San Diego's voter registration
statistics (only 25% of registered voters are Republicans, the rest are
Democrats or independents) line up with the statewide stats...
However, Dr. Isaac Hale, a lecturer in political science at UC Davis,
said that if Faulconer — who was elected twice in Democratic San Diego
and has a history of bipartisanship — emerges as the likely
replacement, it could possibly alter voters' thinking when they vote on
the first question of whether to recall Newsom.
On Mayor Faulconer’s
chances of winning the recall:
...if Faulconer — who was elected
twice in Democratic San Diego and has a history of bipartisanship —
emerges as the likely replacement, it could possibly alter voters'
thinking when they vote on the first question of whether to recall
Newsom.
"Potentially," Hale said when asked if Faulconer's rise
could kneecap the Newsom team's talking points that voting "yes" on the
recall would give way to a Republican in the mold of Donald Trump, who
is highly unpopular in California. "If you're the Newsom campaign,
you're really happy right now to see recall support divided among four
Republicans, especially when one of them is Faulconer, who styles
himself as a moderate and can appeal to independents and Democrats. And
the theatrics of Cox and Jenner aid his talking points.
On the
challenges facing Newsom this summer:
Earlier this week, the Los
Angeles Times published a story highlighting the threat fire/power
outage season poses to Newsom's political fortunes.
"It could be a
major issue,” Republican strategist Dave Gilliard told the LA Times.
“People will ultimately hold him responsible for the state of
California, and if they can’t turn their lights on right around the
time they’re voting, they’re going to be thinking about that.”
