Gavin Newsom Directs $19 Million in California Taxpayer Money to Madison Avenue to Improve California's Reputation -- Just as Gavin Newsom Is Running for President and Personally Needs California's Image to be Remade

Wow, a Democrat taking taxpayer money for his own personal benefit.

I gotta tell you guys, I did not see this one coming. It just snuck up on me.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is hoping to to boost California's tarnished image on the national stage -- so he's throwing millions in taxpayer money at a high-powered New York public relations firm to do it for him.

The governor's Office of Business and Economic Development awarded PR powerhouse Edelman a contract worth up to $19 million to burnish the Golden State's reputation, KCRA reported.

Edelman -- which also does work on behalf of mega-companies like Dove, Starbucks, eBay and Heineken -- will be tasked with combating "negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media" about California while promoting the state's economy and tourism.

...

The contract begins on April 6 and will run through then end of the year, which nearly coincides with end of the governor's term in early 2027.

Oh you mean January 2027, as the official primary season begins in earnest. How convenient.

The state agency previously told the outlet that the campaign wouldn't be about Newsom himself, but California.

"The campaign will tell the California story, not the Gavin Newsom story," the agency said. "The effort is about California's success, not about politics."

Uh-huh. You're just rebutting "partisan narratives" but not for any partisan purpose. Sure.

A Newsom spokesperson previously told the Los Angeles Times that California's business climatehas been "falsely and maliciously maligned for years," and that the "state has a right to tell the true story."

Weird that he didn't want to tell this "true story" in years when he wasn't running for president. People and businesses have been fleeing California for six years, you know.

...

News of the contract drew ample criticism.

"Gavin Newsom is giving 19 million California taxpayer dollars to a New York PR firm to promote California in a better light to the nation. Which does not at all sound like Gavin Newsom is making a presidential campaign ad for himself," Kevin Dalton, who ran for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, wrote on X.

"Californians aren't being asked, they're being billed," added Republican congressional candidate Christine Bish.

Speaking of California politicians raiding the public fisc for their own benefit and to pay off their donors: Gavin Newsom's Obama-Biden boondoggle to spend tens of billions of dollars on a "high speed train" from LA to San Francisco -- when that route is well-serviced by planes and, well, a nice car ride if you have half a day to spare -- that even 60 Minutes noticed.

Gavin Newsom isn't even the biggest bimbo in this post.

Gavin Newsom's grifter woke wife is a real See You Next Cunt.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the very avatar of Democrat Woman.

Haughty, hectoring and pleased with herself, she is single-handedly wrecking her henpecked husband Gavin's lofty political ambitions.

No wonder he's taken to moping around and crying at press conferences.

As the California governor's presidential aspirations head south and his state's woes become impossible to ignore, he's tried in vain to reset his ailing brand -- and now his 51-year-old actress-turned-activist wife is taking over.

Over the weekend, she inserted herself into the news again with an Instagram video pontificating that the departure of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem from President Trump's cabinet is proof that the commander-in-chief is waging a "war on all women."

"I need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women," she opined in a mint green jacket, with her long, blond tresses cascading fetchingly over one shoulder.

As she enunciated every bad word she could think of for Trump's "sexism and misogyny," she bizarrely smiled: "Devalued" -- smile. "Degraded" -- smile. "Diminished" -- smile.

"No woman is safe in Trump's Republican Party." Smile, smile, smile.

The title she posted on the screen was: "Some thoughts on the patriarchy."

Mrs. Newsom has "thoughts" -- and boy, does she want you to hear them.

Her assertiveness was on full display a few weeks ago when she elbowed her husband away from the podium and took over his press conference to scold the assembled reporters for not being sufficiently admiring of some abortion funding announcement the governor had just made.

"We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population," she said. "And the majority of the questions -- all of these questions -- have really been about other issues. So, it's just fascinating."

She was greeted by "incredulous" silence.

Not only had she publicly emasculated the governor with the sort of first-spouse effrontery we haven't seen since Hillary Clinton entered the White House, but she showed herself to be incapable of using basic English.

Maybe she thinks "incredulous" is an intellectual version of "incredible."

She's just an absolute deranged woke warrior. She just made news by declaring, proudly, she's taking all the steps necessary to trans her sons.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, said she actively works to challenge gender norms with her sons, telling an interviewer:

"I've given our boys dolls... if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she."

This link to Jesse Kelly contains a montage of her many ultrawoke preachings.

This one's incredible: Apparently she killed her own sister by running her over with... a golf cart. Nepo baby bitch.

But she tells prisoners that she understands their plight because she, too, killed someone "by accident" and she's very sure that's what all the people in prison did too.

Libs keep asking Grok if these videos are real and recent. Grok keeps telling them they are.

Don't forget, she's also stealing taxpayer money, diverted to her by her husband and his cronies, to push DEI and transgenderism to California schoolchildren.
