With its March 17 deadline approaching, the campaign to oust California Gov. Gavin Newsom is fewer than 60,000 signatures short of triggering an election, officials say.

“The bottom line is we have been underestimated and discounted from day one, yet we are within 58,000 valid signatures of qualifying the recall, with plenty of time left in the process,” Rescue California campaign manager Anne Hyde Dunsmore said in a Feb. 19 press release.
