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.

★★☆☆☆ 2/5 — Verified California Voter · 2026-04-04

Honestly I expected more from him. Seems like he talks a big game but not much really gets done for the economy.

★★☆☆☆ 2/5 — Verified California Voter · 2026-03-17

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.

★★★☆☆ 3/5 — Verified California Voter · 2026-03-16
