Newsom Uses Tax $$ to HIRE first 2024 Presidential Aide (not a typo)

The media has reported that the Chief of Staff of Governor Newsom is Anne O’Leary.  Actually, she is the first hire, using tax dollars, for the Newsom for President Campaign in 2024.  He realizes Trump will be re-elected, so he is starting the 2024 campaign while others are looking at the 2020 election.  Who is Anne O’Leary?

“Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom has named a longtime senior Hillary Clinton aide and a former California budget director to the top two positions in his incoming administration.

His chief of staff will be Ann O’Leary, who held senior roles in the Clinton administration, Hillary Clinton’s Senate office, and her presidential campaign. She also led the Clinton-Kaine transition project, which as required by law began prior to the election. O’Leary was previously married to California Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu, but they are divorced, although they co-parent together.

Yup—he is tying himself to the Clintons.  O’Leary will bring him national money, open doors to elected officials owned by the Clintons’ and more.  While the media is not noting this, November 9, 2018 is the start of the 2024 presidential race!

Newsom Names Experienced Women As Top Two Staffers In New Administration

 Ben Adler, Capitol Public Radio,  11/9/18

Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom has named a longtime senior Hillary Clinton aide and a former California budget director to the top two positions in his incoming administration.

His chief of staff will be Ann O’Leary, who held senior roles in the Clinton administration, Hillary Clinton’s Senate office, and her presidential campaign. She also led the Clinton-Kaine transition project, which as required by law began prior to the election. O’Leary was previously married to California Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu, but they are divorced, although they co-parent together.

And Newsom has named Ana Matosantos to be his cabinet secretary — that’s the No. 2 job in the governor’s office, which oversees all of the state’s executive branch agencies. Matosantos served as Director of Finance to two governors — first, Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger, then Democrat Jerry Brown — from December 2009 until September 2013.

In making those selections, Newsom has picked a chief of staff with experience at the national level and a top deputy with experience at the state level. And like Brown, Newsom has also picked women for his top two positions.

The governor-elect has also switched his campaign website to a transition website, where he’s inviting Californians to tell him their policy priorities — and apply for jobs in his administration.
