EXCLUSIVE - One of the two major Republican candidates running in the
likely California gubernatorial recall election is investing another $1
million of his own money into his campaign.

Fox News has learned that businessman John Cox on Thursday will make a
second personal contribution of $1 million into his campaign. Cox is
hoping to succeed embattled Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who faces a
possible recall over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

COX JUMPS INTO CALIFORNIA GUBERNATORIAL RACE, TAKING AIM AT NEWSOM AND
FAULCONER

Cox, the 2018 Republican gubernatorial nominee in California, formally
declared his candidacy earlier this month, going live with a new campaign
website and spending seven figures to run a TV commercial statewide. The
spot takes aim at Newsom as well as former San Diego Mayor Kevin
Faulconer, the other major GOP candidate to so far launch a campaign.

"Schools remain closed, seniors have had a difficult time accessing needed
vaccines, and now we have reports of Gavin Newsom giving no-bid contracts
to big donors. I'm confident that Californians will qualify this recall,"
Cox emphasized in a statement.

The no-bid contracts comment by Cox refers to a new investigation from
Capital Public Radio, which reports that some companies that made big
donations to the governor received large no-bid contracts from the state.
While no laws may have been broken, the unfavorable optics of preferential
treatment for major donors are anything but helpful as Newsom faces a
likely recall election.

RECALL ORGANIZERS SAY THEY'VE HIT THE SIGNATURE THRESHOLD NEEDED TO FORCE
ELECTION

The recall push was launched last summer over charges the governor
mishandled the state's response to the pandemic. But the effort surged in
the autumn after Newsom's dinner at a uber-exclusive restaurant, which –
at best – skirted rules imposed by the governor to prevent the spread of
the coronavirus.

Organizers of the California recall say they’ve already gathered more than
the 1.5 million signatures needed by March 17 to force a recall election
later this year. Cox was a major early contributor to the recall effort,
donating $50,000.

Cox, a 65-year old self-made businessman, accountant, attorney and
developer, is worth over $200 million. He came in second to Newsom in a
field of 27 candidates in the June 2018 nonpartisan California
gubernatorial primary.

Cox, who was backed by then-President Donald Trump, lost to Newsom by 24
points five months later in the general election in the heavily Democratic
state. He has also over the past two decades made bids in Illinois for
Congress and a longshot run for the White House in 2008.
