Endorsing Gavin Newsom

I’ve been writing about Election 2010 since November and I know it’s still early but I’ve decided to start declaring my support for some candidates who I think have what it takes to solve to real problems that real Americans face.

My first endorsement is for one of the most prominent equal rights activist of our time, Gavin Newsom.

The man has guts.  So far this young, energetic Mayor of San Francisco has defied State Law to Do the Right Thing (promote equal rights) and been at the forefront of more Progressive Issues than any other politician in America.  He’s implemented a successful Universal Health Care program in San Francisco, made the streets safer and, importantly, led San Francisco in integrating Biotechnology and ‘Green Tech’ jobs into the city.

It doesn’t hurt that the man just looks the part.

Gavin Newsom challenged the city to be greener and followed through on the challenge, whether that is through planting trees or installing more efficient lighting.  That commitment to setting high standards and exceeding them will make Mayor Newsom a great Governor Newsom.

I think that Newsom has what it takes to be Governor and I proudly support his effort.  But if you don’t believe me you can watch his commitment to new and innovative ideas to solving difficult and complex problems on his YouTube page.
