Tens of millions of dollars have been raised in the race to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. Here’s where things stand.
Who has raised the most?
Newsom backers opposing the recall have assembled the largest haul, thanks to fundraising accounts that allow donors to contribute unlimited amounts of cash. Similar committees in favor of the recall have also taken in millions, without backing a particular candidate.
Newsom’s campaign committee has its own war chest, as do his challengers’ campaigns, a growing field that includes Republicans John Cox and Kevin Faulconer, as well as reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner.

| Anti-recall committees A coalition opposing the recall election | $19,055,585 | |

Newsom’s defense is outpacing the competition
The governor’s effort to stay in office was boosted by massive infusions of cash to anti-recall campaigns after the recall petition drive gathered steam this spring.
Top donors supporting the recall
The list of largest donors in favor of the recall includes Republican Party groups and weathly individuals like Los Angeles real estate developer Geoffrey Palmer. Cox is again largely self-funding his campaign, as he did in the 2018 gubernatorial election he lost to Newsom.

Top donors opposing the recall
Newsom’s defense is funded in large part by left-leaning millionaires and California lobbying groups, a coalition similar to the one that backed him in 2018 with one large exception: Netflix CEO Reed Hastings.
The streaming mogul donated millions to rival Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa when he opposed Newsom. Hastings and his wife Patty Quillin are now the top donors to Newsom’s cause.
