Gavin Newsom
Governor Governor
Despite disappointments, signed critical housing bills AB 2011 and AB 2097. Far more liberal than Republican challenger.
Newsom is running against Republican State Senator Brian Dahle. As I wrote in my June guide, Newsom has generally disappointed me; however, he’s recently signed critical housing bills AB 2011 (legalize housing on commercial sites) and AB 2097 (legalize parking-free buildings near transit). He’s far more liberal than his Republican challenger.
