From wine merchant to national figurehead, this is the story of Gavin Newsom. Political Power: Gavin Newsom charts the meteoric rise of California’s 40th governor, from his early days as a San Francisco entrepreneur backed by the Getty family to his bold decisions as mayor, lieutenant governor, and beyond. Whether defying federal bans on same-sex marriage, navigating California through a historic pandemic, or fending off a political recall, Newsom’s career has been defined by risk, reinvention, and resilience. This comic book biography explores the controversies, victories, and quiet moments that shaped the man once seen as a future presidential contender.
