L.A. AREA CHAMBER RESPONDS TO ELECTION NIGHT RECALL RESULTS


LOS ANGELES, CA – September 14, 2021 – With Governor Gavin Newsom projected to defeat the 2021 recall effort, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, which took a position to oppose the recall, is pleased that Californians can now focus on pandemic and economic recovery.

“With so many businesses struggling to return to a new normal, the defeat of the recall is welcome news,” said L.A. Area Chamber President and CEO Maria S. Salinas. “The effects of recalling the Governor would have created great uncertainty for our communities, employees, and businesses. We are ready to grow the economy and help businesses create good jobs to strengthen the region. We look forward to working with Governor Newsom to ensure an equitable economic recovery,” she concluded.
