San Francisco, Calif. - Will he or won't he? All San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will say is it's too premature to talk about possibly throwing his hat in the ring for the race for California governor.
Newsom's political consultant, Eric Jaye, said the mayor has quietly met with Democratic campaign experts to talk about a potential gubernatorial campaign, and now is "certain to at least consider the possibility," the San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday.
"A number of people in the last few months have reached out and talked to me about it. It's premature to talk about it in the open. In the next few months we'll see what happens," Newsom said when asked about the possibility of running.
Several people are expected to compete for governor in 2010, including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Attorney General Jerry Brown, who is a former governor, and former state Controller Steve Westly, the Chronicle reported.
