Gov. Newsom spent how much money to put Prop. 50 on the ballot? (The only proposition for a special election)?
Yes on 50 total spending on broadcast and cable ads topped $100 million. Plus add the millions Tom Steyer spent thrashing Trump on TV.
Think about all the multimillion dollars spent to recast districts from an independent commission.
All that money could have been used to lower taxes, feed the hungry, provide low-interest loans for first-time home buyers, build homes, job training, etc.

All done in the name of making Newsom look good, attacking Trump, and a Democratic power grab.
Oh boo hoo Steve. Prop 50 passed overwhelmingly. Get over it. You expected the Republicans to break the rules and Democrats to do nothing about it? If Republicans are so aggrieved, they should not have broken the rules in the first place.
Trump gave $40B to Argentina and spending $300M on a ballroom for the WH. All that money could have been used for SNAP benefits, lowering healthcare premiums, helping our farmers, build homes, and job training, etc. Instead we have chaos and corruption ruling throughout our government. What a nightmare!
