“Gavin Newsom has served as Lieutenant Governor for the last eight years and California has become less affordable, taxes have gone up, and dangerous criminals have been released onto our streets,” Rojas said. “John Cox knows what it’s like to struggle and he knows how to run a business and create jobs. Working Californians can count on John Cox to protect taxpayers and public safety and present new solutions to our state’s challenges.”I talked with Rojas Sunday while he was on the road. “We’re doing things outside of a normal campaign,” Rojas explained. “We are doing things that are meaningful and effective, like following Newsom, and bringing attention to what’s ahead for Californians should Newsom win. Rojas is a unique voice for this campaign as he and his family are legal immigrants from Mexico. Rojas warns California voters that Newsom’s policies would take California in the direction “of the country I ran away from:”
“The reason why we are doing this is myself, as a Hispanic immigrant from the age of 11, I am deeply concerned for the State of California. I personally and my parents did not come from Mexico to see politicians like Gavin Newsom and others try to turn this state economically and socially into the country I ran from. So we’re here to tell other concerned Californians that under Gavin Newsom and his colleagues we will continue to get the same high taxes, continue to lose jobs, businesses will continue to move out of California, and everything else they’ve been doing. So we’re out here spreading the message.”Republican Gubernatorial candidate John Cox, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, calls those responsible for California’s failing status, “out-of-touch-elites,” of which “Gavin Newsom is the poster boy.”
