What are some of Governor Newsome's highest achievements that have benefitted the Californian population?

Always in His Presence · Friday at 12:47 PM

NOTE - This is 100% about Governor Newsome and his record of achievements in California - this has ZERO to do with any Republican including President Trump.

Since it seems he will be running for Presidency in just three years - what is laudable about his record - what would you like to see done nationally that he has done within the state.

Has Newsom announced his candidacy? I haven’t heard anything from him and it’s still way too early to be thinking about the 2028 elections.

I don’t need any specific policies. Just a return to normal.

I just want someone who will behave like a normal adult in a leadership position. Implement things through the normal, legislative process and not by fiat and executive order. Don’t antagonize half the country. Don’t try to undermine public trust in our elections and don’t sic a masked, secret police force on our citizens and residents.

Having trouble with reading comprehension?

I never even mentioned Trump.

Also didn't mention one of the good governors accomplishments or accolades that helped his constituents - are you not one of them?

I stole this from Reddit.
I think that is about as much mental effort I'd be interested in putting in:

Education Expanded access to early education by making Transitional Kindergarten (TK) available to all four-year-olds.
Invested billions in community schools to improve academic outcomes and reduce chronic absenteeism.
Increased state funding for higher education and passed legislation to make college more affordable.
Environment and climate Developed the "California Climate Commitment," a large-scale plan to transition to clean energy and reduce pollution. Signed an executive order to expand the use of prescribed burns and other fire prevention techniques to combat wildfires.
Supported initiatives like the California Environmental Voters' environmental scorecard, which rated his performance highly for pro-environment actions.
Healthcare Expanded Medi-Cal to cover more low-income residents, including those regardless of immigration status.
Created the position of the California Surgeon General to address the root causes of health conditions. Took steps to lower the cost of prescription drugs, insulin, and other healthcare services.
Public safety and justice Increased investments in law enforcement to combat violent crime and organized crime.
Focused on fighting the fentanyl and opioid crisis through focused administration efforts.
Supported gun control measures and public safety initiatives to get guns off the streets. Closed two state prisons in response to a decline in the incarcerated population.
Housing and homelessness Launched new programs and reforms to address the state's homelessness crisis. Created financing tools for affordable housing projects and provided support for renters.
Economy Took steps to address economic inequalities and invest in workers and families.
Established new state infrastructure to support the state's technology sector, such as Quantum California
. Signed legislation to boost the economy and invest in workers and families.

Love and compassion. He put a moratorium on the death penalty. It is a perspective that aligns deeply with the core tenets of Christian theology—the idea that as long as there is breath, there is the opportunity for redemption. This is masterful.

TheSpin®️©️: Newsome is soft on crime.

Yes, the exact same set of facts will have different views.
He can be lauded/loathed with the same core “story”.

We don’t have to be adversarial over everything, but it sure does seem like it, huh?

This is fairly normal discourse for an early election-year banter.

I’m very unsure how this assists your argument. Ah well.

HIS REDISTRICTING MAPS ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SO MUCH SO THAT CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS HAD TEARS IN HIS EYES AS HE CONFIRMED THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA WHO ENDORSED THE MAPS DRAWN BY GAVIN [OUR MOST POPULAR AND HANDSOME GOVERNOR] NEWSOM FREEHAND WITH HIS OWN SHARPIE ON A MAP OF THE GOLDEN STATE.

PRESIDENT NEWSOM WILL DRAW ALL THE MAPS FOR ALL THE STATES SINCE STATES ARE ONLY AGENTS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR ELECTIONS AND FIFTY GLAMOROUS MAPS WILL SHINE LIKE A BEACON TO THE FREE WORLD.

wow all caps and no proof - must be important

Fact check:

This appears to be a satirical or hyperbolic claim that is not factually accurate on multiple levels:

Key Issues with This Statement:

Chief Justice Roberts and Redistricting Tears

There is no documented instance of Chief Justice John Roberts crying or having "tears in his eyes" while reviewing any redistricting maps
Supreme Court justices maintain formal decorum during proceedings and decisions
Roberts has never made public statements describing any redistricting maps as "beautiful"

Supreme Court Role in Redistricting

The Supreme Court doesn't typically "confirm the will of the people" regarding redistricting maps
The Court reviews legal challenges to maps based on constitutional issues (gerrymandering, voting rights violations, etc.)
They rule on legal compliance, not aesthetic beauty

This statement appears to be either:

Satirical commentary on redistricting politics
Hyperbolic political rhetoric
Misinformation

Factual Status: False - No evidence supports any element of this claim about Chief Justice Roberts' emotional response to California redistricting maps.

You thought it was meant to be factual?

Say, are you planning to move to the Golden State? Or what's with your obsession with Newsom?

Strange question - why wouldn't it be factual?

Absolutely not - I already escaped NY -

wing2000 said:

I think not -

- American Politics Forum
- Newsome is an American Politician
- Newsome has been testing the water to run for President
- Newsome is making news

The forum is designed to talk about it.

Stop complaining about a poster and start posting according to the topic and we will get along great - even if we disagree.

If he really wants to be president he's going to have to run a lot sooner than three years from now. If he waits 3 years, AOC will already be president.
