The thing is Newsom began as a “pro-business” candidate, a conservative by San Francisco standards. He was a good Catholic schoolboy, Notre Dame des Victoires and Santa Clara, was a protege of the Getty’s, had his own successful restaurant business, etc. He was a solid choice, among the usual SF political rabble, or so it seemed.
But then he started moving far left in office. Maybe it was pure ambition, maybe it was because he was a child of divorce. In any case he is what he now is.
What if the voters are ok with it come November? I think they just might.
