California: Recall effort started against State Senator

State Senator Aisha Wahab (D) is facing a recall effort, though the specific reason isn't clear yet.

Wahab sponsored a bill banning caste-based discrimination which has received push back from some Indian-Americans who are said that it may result in racial profiling.

Wahab also made a comment on a bill about banning legislative staffers from becoming lobbyists for two years, which led to complaints from a workplace sexual harassment group that argues the bill will hold back its staffers.

The Vice Chair of the Marin County Republican Central Committee Thomas Montgomery is listed as treasurer on the recall effort. Petitioners would need about 43000 valid signatures to get on the ballot.
