Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Hewitt lays out platform for governor run
Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Hewitt outlined his plan to run for governor in an op-ed published in several Southern California News Group newspapers.
The Libertarian businessman is running to challenge Governor Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election.
Last Monday, the California Secretary of State s office confirmed that enough validated signatures had been gathered to force a recall election, likely in November.
In the op-ed, Hewitt cited some of Newsom s actions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as reasons that pushed him to throw his hat in the ring. He accused the state of creating an “arbitrary and capricious criteria” to determine what business would be deemed essential during the coronavirus lockdowns.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers got Anthony Davis back into the lineup recently, they are still without their leader in LeBron James.
James has been out since getting his right ankle rolled up on during the game on March 20 against the Atlanta Hawks. The original prognosis gave James a four to six week timeframe to return and he is within that window as the Lakers wind down the end of April.
The Lakers continue to slow play LeBron James’ return to the lineup, but it could be in about a week.
A person who has received reports of the 36-year-old’s workouts told Southern California News Group that James could be on track to play next week after positive feedback on his recovery from a right high ankle sprain. That would put James in the range of a Monday game against the Denver Nuggets, a Thursday road game against the Clippers, or a Friday road game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Janice Hahn, the LA county supervisor, told TMZ on Friday that other local governments should follow their example and hand land back to descendants of black owners.
