San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced today he is dropping out of the race for California governor — citing his young family and responsibilities at City Hall.
“It is with great regret I announce today that I am withdrawing from the race for governor of California. With a young family and responsibilities at city hall, I have found it impossible to commit the time required to complete this effort the way it needs to — and should be — done,” Newsom’s campaign announced in a press release
“This is not an easy decision. But it is one made with the best intentions for my wife, my daughter, the residents of the city and county of San Francisco, and California Democrats,” Newsom stated in the release.
Whatever will he do with those 1,200,000 twitter followers?? Oh well, I certainly won’t miss him. Of course, this now paves the way for recent breaking-the-law Attorney General and former Governor Jerry Brown to easily sew up the Democratic nomination. Because ya, that’s what we need – more of the same.
