YUBA CITY – Today a State Superior Court judge granted Assemblymembers James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) and Kevin Kiley’s (R-Rocklin) request for a Temporary Restraining Order against Governor Gavin Newsom. The restraining order suspends the Governor’s recent Executive Order N-67-20regarding the conduct of elections, and further restrains him from “exercising any further legislative powers in violation of the California Constitution and applicable statute, specifically from unilaterally amending, altering, or changing existing statutory law or making new statutory law.”
The Governor’s Executive Order changed a variety of state election laws, including the elimination of public meetings with protected groups such as Californians with disabilities and limited English proficiency.

Assemblymembers Gallagher and Kiley said, “This is a victory for separation of powers. The Governor has continued to brazenly legislate by fiat without public input and without the deliberative process provided by the Legislature. Today the judicial branch finally gave him the check that was needed and that the Constitution requires.”
“Our election laws have been drafted to ensure that the rights of all people to vote are protected. They are the result of public input given in a legislative process. For the Governor to arbitrarily change these laws is wrong. This is why we have acted to end this abusive practice and to restore representative government,” Gallagher and Kiley concluded.
Assemblyman James Gallagher represents the 3rd Assembly District, which encompasses all of Glenn, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba counties as well as portions of Butte and Colusa counties.
Assemblyman Kevin Kiley represents the 6th Assembly District, which includes the Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado County communities of Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Loomis, Orangevale, Penryn, Rocklin, Roseville, and Sheridan.
