Today, the California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) unveiled a football-themed billboard in Times Square, comparing Governor Gavin Newsom’s leadership in California to one of the NFL’s most consistently underperforming franchises, the New York Jets.
Timed to coincide with Super Bowl week, the billboard specifically calls out Newsom’s failing record on higher taxes and homelessness.
This scrutiny of California’s economy comes as Newsom embarks on a national press tour to promote his forthcoming autobiography, including a new Vogue feature photographed by Annie Lebowitz.
“Before trying to quarterback national politics, Gavin Newsom should take a hard look at how his game plan worked out in California,” said Tom Manzo, founder of CABIA. “Much like New Yorkers feel about the Jets, Californians expected more than what they’ve seen from Governor Newsom.”
