California’s Secretary of State has released a preliminary list of 41 candidates who have qualified to run in September’s special recall election seeking to oust incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The preliminary list (pdf), released on July 17, precedes a final, certified list expected to be published on July 21. Included on the list are 21 Republicans, eight Democrats, one Libertarian, nine independents, and two Green Party members. One name missing from the list is that of GOP hopeful Larry Elder, author and contributor to The Epoch Times, who entered the race on July 12.
