Gavin Newsom is a damn good governor.

[spiderpig]

He was also a powerful mayor.

Just sayin'

1. This Californian totally agrees!

Thank gawd he is here for us right now!

[spiderpig]

4. Thank you and agreed.

I don't recall him putting a political step wrong since he was mayor.

14. He's following the science, and doing a professional job. Thanks Gov.

2. He is but his voters ignored him this weekend

And quite frankly that’s not good. Thousands flocked to all the beaches this past weekend. Ten days ago underground clubs were going on in San Francisco. He’s good but needs to stop the masses from going against his announcements.

3. Idiots everywhere. Even in our own family.

Once again - stick fingers in ears and go "la-la-la"

Team Newsom Impossible job.

[jimfields33]

10. Yeah true. All over the country.

12. you're right, it's not good

But (IMO) .. there's always been a calculated balancing act going on here (and for the most part the governors have played it well). The clubs in San Francisco are getting attention (deservedly) .. but a heavy handed approach has it's draw backs as well. Voluntary compliance has been the message, the method, and the preferred objective. For good reason. In many respects it just works better. And I think Newsom and the other governors are doing a good job of walking that line.

13. We Still Have Idiots Here In CA

Thankfully we have far fewer than in many other states. Newsom, like Cuomo, makes me calm that they are going to do the right thing.

16. I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks. Hopefully 🤞 people don't get sick

and that will free up the rest of us to go back to what's left of our lives soon.

19. Out of 40 million people, a small percentage acted stupidly

5. K & R!

6. I don't have much access to Newsom.

He’s good looking and a great gov.
Future looks bright.

[spiderpig]

7. We are lucky.

[Polly Hennessey]

8. Happy he is our Gov.

[BittyJenkins]

9. I am lucky to live

in CA and in the north bay. We are very lucky here. Just read because of the precautions taken, our county cut the curve by 75%.

Gavin has been holding our state together with science, strength and humbleness. I love my that man.

[spiderpig]

11. You said it.

Contrast us to NYC (and I love and admire Andrew Cuomo) but can you imagine the mess CA would be in had our government not stepped in and said "STOP"?

[cally]

15. Where did you read that?

I live in Bay Area and haven’t seen articles like that. I see the daily but not how much we have flattened the curve compared to initial curve

[Cicada]

17. His briefings give me confidence we will be ok

[Polybius]

18. He's my favorite

And I am from NY!
