Los Angeles CA— Kicking off his Recall Road Trip against Governor Gavin Newsom earlier this year, Joe E. Collins and partners 1776 Forever Free and Recall Gavin Newsom 2020 collected 
hundreds of signatures at the Los Angeles City Hall. The South-Central LA native will be visiting the largest cities in the state of California in an effort to collect the remaining signatures to remove Newsom from office. Collins will be at the Oceanside Civic Center on February 7, 2021 from 12- 2:00pm to gather signatures for the petition to recall Governor Newsom.
The Navy Veteran was joined by hundreds of California residents whose lives have been drastically changed by Newsom’s inability to keep the state afloat. Regardless of political party or beliefs, people gathered in front of the municipal center to share the hardships they have faced ever since Newsom took office. For the past 2 years, California has had a rise in jobs leaving the state, failing schools, homelessness and crime. Newsom has mismanaged the state’s budget and has failed to be the leader the state and people need during a global pandemic. It’s time for change and a better leader.
Collins’ 28 day road trip is taking him all across the state of California, where residents will be able to start the initiative to recall Newsom.
During the rallies, people will get to enjoy food vendors, live music and words of encouragement from Collins and his team as they promise Californians a better future.
About Joe Collins
Joe Collins’ 13 years of patriotic service with the United States Navy has instilled into him a strong sense of duty, commitment and leadership. Joe’s formulative years growing up in South-Central Los Angeles has braced him for his new role, becoming the next U.S. Representative for California’s 43rd congressional district, to be the impact voice of change for his beloved community. From his early upbringing on 104th and Normandie, Joe knows this district all too well: lack of quality education, unsafe gang activity, alarming high crime rate and rampant homelessness. Upon finishing high school in Texas, Joe made the most pivot-table decision of his life, choosing a career path of service to his country by enlisting in the U.S. Navy.
Rising eventually to the rank of Petty Officer First Class, Joe began his career specializing as a naval jet aviation mechanic, working on and then training thousands of sailors on aircraft including the F-18 Super Hornet fighter, E-6 Mercury Airborne Command Post, and MH-60 Sea Hawk Assault Helicopter. As a leader in uniform he obtained several military and civic certifications, becoming a licensed financial planning professional and a certified counselor for rape and sexual assault victims. While earning numerous awards and commendations, Joe embraced his role as a top Navy recruiter whereby he had the honor of jump-starting the careers of many who have since gone on to become fine American leaders.
After the divisiveness and rancorous rhetoric of the 2016 election, Joe empathized with many disenfranchised Americans, feeling the stinging aftermath of that highly polarized climate that continues to be exhibited today. Joe recognizes several alarming factors about the country’s current state of affairs: the media’s role in escalating unwarranted public anger; the gap between party lines that has become much more difficult to bridge; the lack of politicians listening to their constituents with an empathetic ear; and, with most politicians simply talking without purpose or a plan for the future.
Joe E. Collins III, has already taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. His compelling decision to run for office and serve as congressional representative in defending those without a voice who live, work and do business in California’s 43rd District, was easy for Joe. He earnestly advocates for fair treatment, equality, and respect for all citizens of our great country and community.
