According to a recent article published by The Intercept, Governor Newsom has close ties to Silicon Valley Bank and its executives and has been lobbying on their behalf for a bailout of the bank.<\/p>\n
These actions raise serious questions about the Governor’s impartiality and conflict of interest in this matter.
