Meet the board

Robin is a veteran Budget Officer/Analyst having recently held this position for 16 years with the College of Agriculture at Chico State. She was responsible for the management and oversight of $3.5 million budgets for the state and the foundation for the campus office and University Farm.  

Robin has been politically active since 1972. She has worked for presidential and state campaigns throughout California in several capacities. While working with assemblymen in their state capitol and district offices, she gained a broad insight into constituent concerns.

Robin’s career also includes holding insurance licensing as well as a series 7 license. Her financial experience with retirement, over taxation, local and state political climate has given her additional insight into the reasons families’ are struggling and can no longer afford to plan for their futures in California.

In October 2019, Robin was inspired to join in the effort to Recall Governor Gavin Newsom. The governor’s actions that overrule the vote of the people, his executive orders, and the onslaught of legislation that he has signed infringing on our 2nd Amendment rights, and causing Californian’s bank accounts to diminish has brought her out of retirement. 

Robin is concerned that California is dying rather than thriving. Families and business owners are leaving California in record numbers. Hardworking families are constantly challenged to survive by paying the highest income tax, the highest vehicle registration, highest gas tax and one of the highest property tax rates in the nation. She believes this recall is imperative to help save California and to alert the people of our nation that Newsom is not a viable governor or future presidential candidate. She is the CFO for corporate accounts for the RecallGavin2020 team. 

Robin's engaged leadership style, work ethic and personal insight coupled with her transparent approach to financial management, is an important part to our success.

Christine spent much of her life as an accredited Master Florist. For over a decade she owned a successful retail florist shop in Fair Oaks, California. Since that time she worked as an independent contractor. She recently lost her job, which she had held for the past 16 years, due to passage of AB - 5. 

Christine was born and raised in Sacramento to parents that hailed from beautiful Southern California when MacArthur Park was the jewel of downtown Los Angeles and Venice was “Muscle Beach”. Christine was raised by faithful parents that instilled a relationship with God and an appreciation for California and love of country. She enjoys all the natural beauties of California, spending time with loved ones camping, boating and hiking. This very much attributes to her desire and passion to save California. In her free time you can find her on occasion “singing the blues” at local venues.

After being a small business owner in California, Christine had to overcome many of its associated challenges to be successful. She was heavily involved in community events that included nonprofits and charities. During this time, Christine participated with the boards of both the FTD Association and Friends for Survival Inc.

Christine's experiences as an independent contractor allowed her the freedom to travel both nationally and internationally. During her travels, she gained a new community and world perspective. She recognized that California is no longer what it once was. Like many of us, she is seeking a pathway to bring it back. With four generations of her family currently residing in California, it is extremely important for her to find ways to become involved and effect change.

Christine is now a vital member of the RecallGavin2020 management team. Her dedication and strong work ethic are a key component in her role as the lead Secretary. She will help ensure that the team is organized, keeps focus, stays on task to ensure that goals are met and promises are kept. Her focus is to help return the “Golden" to the Golden state.

 Susan spent most of her working life as a legal assistant. She was born and raised in the Bay Area and moved to the Sierra Foothills in 1995. As a hard-working single mother raising two boys, Susan didn’t have the time to become active in politics, although she always stood firm in her belief in traditional values. 

Susan was a dedicated employee with strong work ethics until she retired in 2019. Since that time, Susan has become involved in politics in an effort to help save California. She volunteers at her local Republican Headquarters and joined the efforts to Recall Governor Gavin Newsom. Susan has worked hard her entire life for what she has, and she has passed onto her children the beliefs and integrity that were instilled in her by her parents. 

Watching our State crumble with Gavin Newsom raising taxes higher than most states in our country, giving our hard-earned money to illegal immigrants and taking away our constitutional rights, are just some of the reasons Susan has become deeply involved in politics. 

Susan believes there needs to be more transparency in government. She believes that our schools are not receiving the funds that the taxpayers are paying, and California’s education system is far behind other states considering the vast amount of money being poured into the State by the people. Susan endeavors to see the State of California return to a thriving economy, reduce or eliminate the absurdly high taxes, return constitutional rights to the people, instill integrity and ethics, and stop Newsom from corrupting our State any further.
