Unscripted: An Evening with Gavin Newsom

Golden Gate Theatre

Don't miss this one-night-only event in conversation with California Governor Gavin Newsom as he discusses his new book, Young Man in a Hurry.

In Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined who he is today. From adapting to his dyslexia, to starting his own small business, growing up in the spotlight as a young mayor, becoming a father and fighting major national political battles, Governor Newsom reflects on the long personal journey that ultimately shaped him into one of the most recognizable elected officials in America. Filled with intimate family history and written with candor and remarkable personal insight, here is a deeply resilient California story of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics.

An unsigned copy of Young Man in a Hurry is included in the ticket price.

Newsom is the living personification of why Democrats lose elections, updated and glow'd up for the current Kafka-has-dysentery fever dream timeline

You know folks, I first read this post and thought it was so absurd and self-satirizing that I didn't even consider the possibility that it was real.

Imagine my horror upon doing a quick research

Cannibalizing Gavin Newsome and gaining his power: the unmistakable appearance of an untrustworthy stoat that was turned into a man with magic.

fighting major national political battles

Going with the flow on transphobia, healthcare, and militarizing the police? Oh yeah definitely fighting some major battles.
