“I Will Manage COVID Better Than Newsom”
Jenny Rae Le Roux is the First Republican Governor Candidate to Release a COVID Plan to Save Lives
REDDING --Republican Candidate for Governor Jenny Rae Le Roux today released a proactive, data-driven plan to manage COVID and save lives in California.
Le Roux stated, “Newsom claims electing a Republican to fill his spot will cause California to fall off ‘the COVID cliff’. Yet Newsom himself is failing California on COVID outcomes. California is the 6th youngest state and the 5th healthiest and yet we’re not even among the best 15 states in cumulative case rate or cumulative death rate.
Newsom has underperformed on COVID as he has in nearly every area important to Californians. He wasted time buying PPE from several companies that botched delivery. He oversaw one of the slowest vaccine rollouts by involving his longtime campaign donor Blue Shield against counties’ wishes. And he shattered people’s trust in public health guidance by repeatedly breaking his own rules.”
Le Roux’s plan is not anti-vax (she is vaccinated) and not a Florida/Texas plan. It’s built on the reality that we must begin to treat COVID as endemic, not a pandemic. It’s time for the false promises to end that one more mandate or lockdown will “extinguish the disease.”
Le Roux’s plan is comprehensive, and includes measures to prevent, detect, and treat COVID to save lives:
Increase vaccination rates (ages 18+) to greater than 90% by December by partnering with local community organizations, publishing transparent data on vaccines and adverse events in California to reduce concerns about side effects, and an education campaign focused on the FDA’s full authorization process. Newsom’s data has caused confusion and as of July, Newsom had invested $1.3B in vaccine management and oversight but only $0.3B in education and community engagement.
Ensure 90% of COVID test results are returned within 24 hours and invest $125M to develop a more accurate rapid test. Today, only 64% of test results are delivered within 24 hours and existing rapid tests don’t meet World Health Organization standards for accuracy. Testing is a major gap in Newsom’s California, leading to increased community spread.
Provide guidance for at-home care and set aside $350M to purchase COVID treatments likely to emerge by December that help lower hospitalizations and deaths for those who contract COVID. Le Roux would ensure all Californians who test positive for COVID receive $20 pulse oximeters to track oxygen levels so they know as early as possible if they’ll need to go to the hospital. In contrast, Newsom has provided no guidance to people who find out they have COVID.
Establish data transparency and local control. Le Roux has developed 3 tiers for state recommendations. If counties exceed 100 new cases/day/100K people, 90% ICU capacity, and 15% COVID bed occupancy, Le Roux will redirect state resources to help staffing and testing in affected counties (similar to how wildfire relief works).

Le Roux will manage COVID proactively with a long view in mind, “Temporary lockdowns and mandates are unjustified; this disease is not extinguishable. No intervention is 100% effective, and spikes in COVID cases in places with the strictest mandates and highest vaccination rates show us that COVID is here to stay. We must invest now in a full suite of solutions that will enable us to live, work, and breathe in California now and in the future.”
Join Le Roux for a virtual town hall on Friday at 4:30pm to discuss her COVID plan.
