Tracking the Governor

As blog readers will know, we collect the videos put out by the governor in social media on a quarterly basis. He used to go in for lengthy addresses. But in recent years, except for budget presentations, he puts out short clips instead.

We have diligently collected most of them, along with the long budget proposal of January, for the first quarter of 2025, along with other events - such as the January fires - for your visual enjoyment.

You can find the first quarter at:

If you are looking for stuff about higher ed, however, you will be disappointed. Except for a brief mention in his January 10th state budget proposal, you won't find much about that sector. Of course, there are a lot of things going on in the state apart from higher education. And the governor, who will be termed out after this term ends, is looking ahead. Notably, he now has a podcast which seems to be premised on trying to prove that - while California is in the bag for Democrats in 2028 - Newsom could win swing states.
