California Sen. Josh Newman to Face Recall Election on June 5
California Gov. Jerry Brown set June 5 as the date for a recall election on state Sen. Josh Newman.
Voters in Senate District 29 will vote on the recall and pick a candidate to replace Newman if he is removed from office.
Sen. Newman became the target of a recall effort over his support for increasing the gas tax.
If he loses, Democrats will lose their Senate supermajority.
