This is Gavin Newsom

<p>I&rsquo;m Gavin Newsom.</p> <p>And, it&rsquo;s time to have a conversation. It&rsquo;s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us.</p> <p>It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other.</p> <p>I will be doing just that on my new podcast &ndash; inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the day and inviting listeners from around the country to join the conversation.</p> <p>THIS is Gavin Newsom.</p>
