19 months, 46 candidates, and hundreds of millions of dollars later, Gov. Gavin Newsom has easily defeated the effort to remove him from office. It marks the end of a campaign that was first launched in February 2020 by a retired Yolo County sheriffâs deputy.Â
The governor will stay in office until at least January 2023, when his first term ends â or longer, if he wins re-election next year.
