Supporters of an effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom are poised to put the matter on the ballot. Here are the details.
The governor unveiled his proposal just one day after news that a $500,000 donation had been made to the GOP campaign working toward a recall election this year.

Her nearly two-year, hard-fought battle ended in hospice care in 2016. She passed the week Leigha turned 18 years old.
