Gavin Newsom has been an entrepreneur himself, owns several small businesses and has repeatedly showed support for the community in San Francisco and the Bay Area. As Governor we can be assured that investment in the future will be a priority in the entire state of California. Show your support and commitment to California by donating today.

Perhaps Mayor Newsom clarifies his stance best in a recent speech he gave in Sacramento:

Our economy is in trouble.

But in San Francisco, our economy is stronger because we made basic investments - in new fields like biotech and life sciences, in green technology, in digital media – in industries that pay more than a minimum wage – they pay a living wage.

We figured it out - the greatest asset we have in this state is HUMAN capital. It’s people. It’s time to start investing in people again. I know a thing or two about this because I’ve built a number of small businesses from the ground up, creating nearly one thousand jobs. And I know we can’t be pro-jobs and anti-business. But we also can’t be pro-jobs without investing in our workforce - our schools, our community colleges, our universities and in life-long learning. In San Francisco, we didn’t blame Washington for our economic problems - we got to work solving them with exactly these kinds of smart investments.
