As a growing number of candidates seek to add their name to the 2021 governor recall ballot, state law also requires them to disclose their income tax returns.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the tax return initiative into law in 2019, proclaiming that gubernatorial and presidential candidates wouldn’t appear on a ballot unless they submit their files.
