Campaign to recall Newsom gets first six-figure donations

A campaign formed to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) received a $500,000 donation this week, the first six-figure contribution to the effort thus far.

A consulting firm based in Irvine called Prov 3:9 offered its donation of half-a-million dollars towards the efforts to generate a recall election of the governor in response to Newsom's handling of coronavirus pandemic measures, Politico reported.

A separate venture capital firm Sequoia Capital also contributed a $100,000 donation towards the recall campaign's efforts, further solidifying the effort's potential, marking the two largest donations it has received to date.
