Gavin for Governor?
Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom swung into town on a campaign tour for his run for California governor in 2018.

Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, running for governor, spoke to a packed La Casa de la Raza last Wednesday. In a wide-ranging talk, he hit on health care, gun laws, college tuition, and affordable housing. But he started and ended with income inequality: “The imbalance,” he said, quoting Plato, “between the rich and the poor is the oldest and the most fatal ailment of all republics.”
