GAVIN NEWSOM VIDEO CLIP # 2

“A Laughing Matter?”

(LOS ANGELES) – The Janice Hahn for lieutenant governor campaign today released another video of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom ridiculing the idea of running for lieutenant governor – and laughing hilariously at the suggestion that he would run with Jerry Brown. The interview was conducted on October 23, 2009 – just one week before Newsom announced he was dropping out of the race for governor – by Hank Plante, political reporter for KPIX-TV, Ch. 5, in San Francisco.
