Voter's Group Publishes Recall Information Page

Site provides information on candidates filing for California's October recall election

The California Voter Foundation's Web site now features a new "Recall Information" page featuring links to resources and information about the upcoming gubernatorial recall election. One particular link goes to the "Statements of Intent" prospective candidates have filed with the California Secretary of State's office. These statements must be filed in advance of a candidate forming a campaign committee.

In the Statement of Intent candidates also declare whether they will abide by the state's voluntary campaign spending limit. Candidates who agree to the spending limit will be allowed to purchase space to place a statement in the official ballot pamphlet mailed to all registered voters. So far most of the prospective candidates have said "yes" to the spending limit. The Statements of Intent are updated every day and provide a good idea of who may be considered to be a serious candidate for governor since the statements indicate which candidates plan to raise money for the campaign.

CVF's Recall page also includes links to campaign Web sites and links to special coverage of the recall being provided by many California news organizations on their web sites.
