He has done great he came in inheriting a $21.4 billion surplus and has created a $1.6 trillion dollar debt and wants to add another $6.4 billion to the debt.
He also allowed fraud in the tune of $260 billion.
Newsom is also responsible for these unfinished projects and the costs going through the roof
- Housing Production: Newsom’s 2018 campaign promise to build 3.5 million homes by 2025 was vastly unmet, with reports indicating only about 13% of that goal was met or in progress by late 2022. As of 2024, the state was considered "wildly off track" on its housing goals.
- Child Care Slots: The 2026-27 budget proposal indicates a failure to fund 44,000 promised child care slots originally committed in 2021-22.
- Single-Payer Health Care: A major 2018 campaign proposal to establish a state-funded single-payer healthcare system has not been enacted.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: While Newsom signed legislation to create state-produced generic drugs, the state has not yet entered the pharmaceutical manufacturing business.
- Water Infrastructure: Critics point to a lack of significant, completed water storage infrastructure despite billions in funding and severe drought, as highlighted by Reform California.
- High-Speed Rail: The project continues to face criticism as a "failed" project with ongoing, significant delays.

Newsom has been great at wasting money!
On the plus side, it looks like Newsom’s wife has made great gains in changing her position from First Lady to first partner, what a great accomplishment!

• California fast food workers experienced substantial wage increases. Immediately after the new minimum wage went into effect, hourly wages for California fast food workers increased by at least $2.50, and the share of California fast food workers earning less than $20/hour declined by about 60 percentage points.
We find no evidence that wage increases had unintended consequences on staffing, scheduling, or wage theft. In response to the sizeable wage increase for California fast food workers, we do not find evidence that employers turned to understaffing or reduced scheduled work hours to offset the increased labor costs. Rather, weekly work hours stayed about the same for California fast food workers, and levels of understaffing appeared to ease. We also find that unstable scheduling practices and wage theft were unaffected by the wage increase.

- Regional Variation: Poverty rates differ across the state, with higher concentrations in areas like Los Angeles County and lower rates in Sacramento, according to PPIC data.
- Cost of Living: California’s high cost of housing, food, and utilities exacerbates the financial strain on households.

Gavin Newsom is the worst governor in America, a complete fraud and a total phony. And creepy on top of that, married to a psychopath for a wife.
California is successful financial in spite of him. They're blessed to have a great agricultural climate and, of course, Silicon Valley.
But the rich and successful are fleeing that state in record numbers. And it's because of Newsom, his policies and his party's radical communist-style economics.
It's unsustainable.
California will fail miserably unless and until the Democrats are kicked from office.
Steve Hilton would be a great choice.
Newsom is a fraud.
And so are you.
CA was one of only five states to lose population in 2025 and had the largest drop. . People are leaving in droves
TX and FL are no-tax states. Everybody is moving to those states and out of blue states.
Are you another dipshit who can't read a thread?

Hey darlin’, Flail your Pom Poms for the No- speed rail to nowhere. Yet another Newsom disaster.
14 major corporation have left CA recently including energy behemoth Chevron. Also, Tesla, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and Nutragena. The problem is leftwing government and Noisome.
Newsom is a moron and he led democrat voters around because they are like cattle with nose rings.
California's $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers led to 'negative outcomes,' researchers say

California's fast-food minimum wage hike to $20 resulted in job losses, higher prices, and reduced worker hours, a University of California, Santa Cruz study suggests.

Isn't that a good thing? Aren't wingnuts always saying that California is too crowded? Takes forever to drive anywhere?
I think you all just are not happy unless you're miserable and have something to complain about.
