Capitol Weekly Podcast: Inside the campaign to Recall Gov. Newsom

We are joined today by Anne Dunsmore, Campaign Manager for Rescue California, the organization that is heading the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. Dunsmore is a longtime fundraiser and activist and has plenty of experience with the Recall process: she worked on the campaign to oust Gov. Gray Davis and the earlier effort to remove Supreme Court Justice Rose Bird. Will she make it three-for-three?

Plus, as always, we tell you who had the Worst Week in California Politics.
