July 16, 2009 (San Diego)—San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who has announced plans to run for Governor next year, will hold “Conversations About California’s Future” with voters in major California cities over the next few weeks, including this Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Clairemont High School quad, 4150 Ute Dr. in San Diego.
Newsom, a Democrat, has met with voters at 16 town halls thus far. “We’re holding frank discussions with voters about how we can work together to move California in a new direction,” he Newsom stated in a press release “California needs new leadership. We can’t keep returning to the same old tired solutions and expect a different result.”
After meeting with voters and answering their direct questions at multiple “Conversations About California’s Future” up and down the state, Mayor Newsom announced his candidacy for governor earlier this year by releasing an online video on www.GavinNewsom.com that ties his
record as mayor to his vision for California’s future.
“In San Francisco, we’ve not accepted excuses. We’ve protected people’s civil rights, created a universal health care program, protected teachers from layoffs and enacted a local stimulus plan that will put people back to work and save jobs. And we’ve done it while balancing our budgets and seeing our bond ratings go up,” Newsom said.
Other potential gubernatorial candidates include Attorney General Jerry Brown, Senator Diane Feinstein, and E-Bay CEO Meg Whitman.
