Kevin Faulconer could also potentially win the support of the California GOP. The former San Diego mayor has slammed Newsom over his handling of the pandemic and has pointed to his record as he vows to tackle the many issues Californians are facing.
In addition, State Assemblyman Kevin Kiley is also being considered. As well as, former California Congressman Doug Ose who stressed government overreach needs to stop.
