Newsom

Documentary filmmaker and actor Jennifer Siebel Newsom made the mental health of children and teenagers her number one priority when her husband, Gavin Newsom, became governor of the US state of California in 2019, and it was also the subject that brought her to Greece recently, to speak at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation's Nostos conference.

California Governor Gavin Newsom on Sept. 14 handily beat back a Republican campaign to oust him from office, sending a decisive message that voters in the deeply Democratic state supported his policies for tackling COVID-19, immigration and crime.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has denied a parole request by Hampig Sassounian, an Armenian who assassinated a Turkish diplomat in Los Angeles in 1982.  

The announcement came on May 25 with Newsom reversing the Board of Parole Hearings' decision which found Sassounian suitable for parole.
