Conversation with Gov. Newsom

Gov. Gavin Newsom has become one of the loudest and spirited voices for the Democratic Party. And on a national stage, Newsom has seared his ideological and political differences with Republican governors. But a one-on-one sit down about issues facing Californians is difficult to come by. At the California Museum, Newsom took part in an interview about all things politics in the Golden State. POLITICO California Bureau Chief Christopher Cadelago discusses his live conversation with Gov. Newsom in Sacramento.
