Despite pledging to be the first California governor to release his tax returns every year while in office, Gov. Gavin Newsom has yet to make any additional filings public during his second term.

Newsom last disclosed a tax return nearly three years ago, in March 2022, as he was running for re-election. Under a state law, signed by Newsom himself, that requires gubernatorial candidates to release their five most recent income tax returns, the governor shared filings through 2020, when he and wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom earned nearly $1.5 million and paid about $480,000 in taxes.
A spokesperson for Newsom declined to provide CalMatters with any of his tax returns since then. Nathan Click said the governor’s team would organize an opportunity for reporters to review the documents in a controlled setting, as it has in the past, but did not provide a date or respond to any follow-up questions.
Newsom’s finances have come under renewed scrutiny since media outlets in San Francisco reported late Friday that the governor and his wife recently paid around $9 million for a new home in the Marin County town of Kentfield. The Newsoms revealed over the summer that they planned to move back to the Bay Area from the Sacramento suburbs “to ensure continuity in their childrens’ education.”
Following the publication of this story, the governor’s office clarified that Siebel Newsom had purchased the home using an LLC and no “entities outside of the family” provided financial assistance.
Graft is graft. Money talks when you are talking politics.
Slick doesn’t want his finances reviled. because it just might lead to further corruption tied to the Dem National party.
Look the bottom line is when the VP spends a billion for her campaign and had to “buy” top Democrats just to attend a rally …. you know the D’s are deep in corruption and it is only through Sacramento threatening the locals they stay in power.
Release his tax returns?
When hell starts producing ice.
Voting D? Why?
From what I remember, good old trump did the same thing in 2016 and I will bet you a dollar he does the same in 2024. What’s that convicted felon trying to hide?
Who believed him??? NOT I!!!!!
