California Governor Hopeful Engages Marin County Crowd
Gavin Newsom, candidate for governor of California in 2010, addresses a crowd during a town hall in San Rafael, CA.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom held a town hall at the San Rafael Community Center Auditorium on October 26, 2009. Newsom, who is a candidate in the state gubernatorial election for next year, addressed a crowd of about 200 people and answered questions regarding his stances and plans on issues like health care, education, energy, transportation, the California constitution, and marriage equality. He stayed to meet with some people to privately address questions he couldn’t answer during the time allotted.

Nice photos. Why did he decide not to run?
Thanks! He released this statement upon his withdrawal, but media outlets also reported that he wasn’t raising enough money and he was behind in early poll numbers.
