Constituent Reviews of Gavin Newsom
I Dunno If He Really Gets What We Need Here. Seems Like He Talks A Lot But It Doesn't Translate To Real Solutions. 2/5 Seems Generous Honestly.
Honestly I expected more from him. Seems like he talks a big game but not much really gets done for the economy.
Honestly I feel like Gavin is kinda missing the mark. He talks a good game but I don't see much action on key issues like taxes. The homeless situation in LA isn't improving either. It feels like we need a leader who really gets what's going on in our communities.
