John,

As you are likely aware, Governor Gavin Newsom is the subject of a recall campaign spearheaded by anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, and anti-immigrant Q-Anon conspiracy theorists. We can’t let those who don’t believe in science, health, and equity roll back the hard-earned gains we have made to beat back COVID-19 and help our cities and entire state recover.

By now, you should have received your vote by mail ballot for the September 14th election. I urge you to VOTE NO on the recall to affirm your support for Governor Newsom and the hard work he has done to safely get kids back in school, protect families from eviction, and provide billions in direct relief to individuals and struggling small businesses.

Beating back this recall is critical to our collective efforts to end this pandemic, to protect the health of our economy and the health of our environment. The stakes are just too high to sit this election out.

I hopped on the phones myself in the last week to call voters and urge them to VOTE NO and return their ballot ASAP, no postage needed. All ballots must be postmarked no later than September 14th. Ballots can also be dropped off at the Voting Center at City Hall any day or at any polling place on Election Day. You can find all the ways you can vote here. 

Here’s what you need to know about voting in this recall election. There are two questions on your ballot and these are my recommendations:

• Question #1: Vote NO
• Question #2: Leave question 2 blank. You can vote for a candidate in the 2nd question, but you are NOT required to do so.

It’s going to take all of us working together to beat back this anti-science recall. 

Sincerely, 

Mayor London Breed

P.S. If you would like to help the recall opponents turn out the vote to ensure Governor Newsom remains in office please sign up to text or phone bank today. We can’t take this election for granted!
