follow the money

This entire section on Gavin is suspect. His dad in an attorney for an oil tycoon, he attends an expensive private school (baseball scholarships are very minimal or really don't exist for D3), studies abroad, the oil tycoon funds in new business venture and he grew up poor? I don't think so. The math skills do correlate with the lack of an ability to understand statistics so that is probably ok.

You guys might want to follow the money. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:C100:9D80:E4F1:26D7:6570:463D (talk) 23:56, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He attended high school with some of the richest young men in the city, and thus had fewer financial resources than his peers. It does look like spin if you examine news coverage of his activities over the years in reliable sources. We must go with the spin per WP:VNT--Quisqualis (talk) 00:26, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Too many pictures

Why are there two pictures of his face from 1999? This is not a Myspace page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1012:B02E:ADBE:9CF5:D973:B9E3:F9F5 (talk) 06:12, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recall

There is no mention of the 2020 Recall for Gavin Newsom. There is a serious recall underway that started in about May/June of 2020. It has more than half the signatures needed to recall the governor. https://recallgavin2020.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:4260:35D0:810A:4695:A91A:684C (talk) 15:20, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

why is there not an entire article on this; it already has 1 million signatures and it looks like they’re going to reach the goal SRD625 (talk) 14:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Plumpjack

Is there any mention of this in the article?

Newsom's companies got $3 million in federal relief loans

Hello, I had added this to the article but it was removed because I lumped too many negative stories together. I would look at my edits before you add anything. The same applies to the recall story. -Hemingways pipe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hemingways pipe (talk • contribs) 15:57, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it even in the news? The cited article itself can barely even criticize the optics of it, and says at the top that the Governor would not have participated in the decision to pursue the loans. "I'm not sure...", "I hope..." says the strongest possible critic, but that "Newsom runs the risk of encountering public perception problems". --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 16:29, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed this has no relevance to Newsom. Newsom put his business interests in a blind trust so that he has no conflicts of interest, such as this one, during his governorship. It would be relevant for the Plumpjack page. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:37, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If recall is significant enough to be in the article, it could read: "...image and credibility amidst the public crisis, drawing renewed attention to what had been a long-shot conservative recall effort.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hemingways pipe (talk • contribs) 21:42, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
