In a sprint to the finish, Gov. Gavin Newsom and his challengers campaigned across the state over Labor Day weekend, with just days to go before the Sept. 14 recall election.

On Monday, Newsom campaigned in Baldwin Hills with Rep. Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles), courting voters in the predominantly Black neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Republican front-runner Larry Elder held rallies in Castaic and Thousand Oaks to lock down conservative voters.

Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer stopped by that city’s East Village Friday and went on local TV over the weekend to discuss how he would address the homelessness crisis if elected.
