Gavin Newsom — Governor of California, entrepreneur, proven executive — is ready to take the fight for working families, climate action, and common sense to the national stage.
A proven leader who delivers results for working families
Gavin Newsom grew up in San Francisco, California. He earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Santa Clara University. Before entering public life, Gavin founded the PlumpJack Group, building a successful business from the ground up.
He served as Mayor of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011, where he made national headlines for championing marriage equality. After serving as Lieutenant Governor, he was elected the 40th Governor of California in 2018.
As Governor, Newsom has led the world's fifth-largest economy through crisis and recovery — tackling climate change, expanding health care, and investing in public education. His philosophy: what California does today, the nation does tomorrow.
Fighting for American families on the issues that matter
California leads the world on climate action. It's time to bring that leadership to the entire nation — creating millions of clean energy jobs and protecting our planet for future generations.
Every American deserves access to quality, affordable health care. Expanding coverage, lowering prescription drug costs, and protecting the Affordable Care Act.
Building an economy that works for everyone — raising wages, supporting small businesses, and lowering the cost of housing, groceries, and everyday essentials for working families.
Enough thoughts and prayers. California has some of the strongest gun safety laws in the nation — and the lowest gun death rates. It's time for commonsense gun reform nationwide.
The housing crisis demands bold action. Investing in affordable housing, streamlining construction, and implementing proven strategies to get people off the streets and into stable homes.
Every child deserves a world-class education regardless of zip code. Investing in public schools, paying teachers what they deserve, and making college more affordable.
America needs a humane, orderly immigration system that secures the border, provides a pathway for Dreamers, and reflects our values as a nation of immigrants.
A woman's right to make her own health care decisions is non-negotiable. Fighting to restore and protect reproductive freedom in every state across the country.
Protecting the right to vote, fighting gerrymandering, and getting dark money out of politics. Our democracy only works when everyone's voice counts.
Leading the way on responsible AI development, protecting kids online, holding Big Tech accountable, and ensuring innovation benefits all Americans — not just Silicon Valley.
Keeping communities safe while reforming a system that too often fails. Investing in prevention, rehabilitation, and ending the era of mass incarceration.
Rebuilding America's roads, bridges, and broadband. Investing in high-speed rail, clean water, and the infrastructure that creates good-paying union jobs.
We don't hide from the future — we run to it. What California does today, the nation does tomorrow. It's time to bring that energy, that ambition, to the rest of America.— Gavin Newsom
