History

Historical Context

In 2003 California held its first gubernatorial recall, the nation’s second ever, and voters removed Democrat Gray Davis with 55.4% support before electing actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who captured 48.6% of the replacement vote. The unprecedented celebrity victory illustrated how California’s recall mechanism can turn fame into office, a pattern echoed in later celebrity candidacies.
