Gavin Newsom

Gavin Newsom interests me because he is a businessman who happened to choose politics as his product line. The restaurateur instincts never left: everything from his San Francisco mayoralty to the governor's office in Sacramento has been packaged, branded, and aggressively marketed. Running California — an economy that rivals entire nations — is arguably the second-hardest executive job in America, and he clearly treats it as an audition for the hardest one. I am genuinely split on him: the polish can feel like performance, yet the appetite for big, systemic swings, the kind he sketched in Citizenville, is rarer in politics than it should be.
