SAN FRANCISCO, April 21 (UPI) -- San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday he is running for governor of California.
Newsom tossing his hat into the field of Democratic contenders came as no big surprise since it was widely anticipated among political observers that the high-profile mayor would run for the office that will be vacated by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is barred from running again due to term limits.
