On April 25, Hillary Clinton will headline the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s spring fundraising dinner. In a state that holds the first presidential primary, that may recall Arkansas governor Bill Clinton’s pitch of a “two-for-one” package deal in 1992. California governor Gavin Newsom has his eye on the White House in 2028, and that turns attention to “first partner” Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

Born in 1974, the Stanford graduate (with an undergraduate degree in Latin American Studies and an MBA) moved to Hollywood, where she won roles in television shows such as Whoopi Goldberg’s creation, “Strong Medicine.” In 2008, she married Gavin Newsom, who boasts ties to the Brown, Pelosi, and Getty families. In 2011, the first partner produced the documentary Miss Representation, a feminist take on the supposed imbalance of power between men and women.

Ellie Gardey Holmes, author of Newsom Unleashed: The Quest for Unbridled Power, describes Newsom’s “extremely odd wife” as “a feminist of the absolutely rabid variety.” So it makes sense that the first partner is an admirer of absolutely rabid women.

In 2022, Siebel-Newsom posted a TikTok video of “5 Golden State trailblazers to celebrate this Women’s History Month.” One of her top choices was the feminist Angela Davis, a fan of dead white European males such as Karl Marx and Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, also known as Lenin, the prime movers of Communism. Davis supported the all-male, all-white dictatorship of the Soviet Union, which in 1979 awarded her the Lenin Peace Prize.

In 1980, Davis ran for vice president of the United States with the Communist Party USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the USSR, on a ticket with old-line Stalinist Gus Hall. The Communists lost to Ronald Reagan and George Bush, who defeated them and the Democrats again in 1984. As a two-time Communist Party loser, Angela Davis is an extremely odd choice for a “Golden State trailblazer.” On the other hand, Gov. Newsom’s California is a trailblazer in the field of reality dysphoria—something Siebel-Newsom wholeheartedly supports.

Convicted murderer Rodney Quine claimed he had sought female status since the age of nine. Instead of examining the physical and scientific evidence surrounding his claims, California simply accepted them as true. In 2015, Obama-appointed judge Jon Tigar made California the first state to pony up taxpayers’ money for “sex reassignment” surgery of convicted criminals. Shiloh Heavenly Quine is now inmate WB1121 at the Central California Women’s Facility, where “she” gets special access to a razor for shaving “her” face. State taxpayers don’t like it, but Siebel-Newsom is all in.

According to the first partner, as Gardey Holmes explains, “there is really no such thing as men or women.” For Siebel-Newsom, “we’re all on a spectrum, right, it’s just how society kind of pushes us and pressures us into these limiting gender roles.” For Gavin Newsom’s wife, biological reality is a “construct,” a concept she set out to monetize.

As Katy Grimes of the California Globe explains, Siebel-Newsom “engages in her passion: advancing ‘gender justice’ through her charitable nonprofit The Representation Project.” The project releases films advocating “gender justice,” written and directed by Siebel-Newsom. Two of the films feature her husband, Gavin Newsom, and the customers for these films include government schools “which the governor is responsible for funding.” As Grimes also notes, the films link to porn sites and many of the lesson plans and activities “are oriented toward engaging children in social and political activism.”

Another of Siebel-Newsom’s films, “The Mask You Live In,” claims that manliness is a social construct, and aims to “shape the national conversation around healthy masculinity,” as opposed to the “toxic” kind. With this lineup, Siebel-Newsom emerges as the Leni Riefenstahl of reality dysphoria.

In a discussion of her film “Fair Play” in 2022, Siebel-Newsom told journalist Eric Michaelson that “so many progressives are leaning into redefining what pro-life is really about, and that’s what we’re doing in California.” Pro-life “is about prenatal care and universal preschool and universal after-school and universal healthcare” and not about “conception,” she said.

California’s first partner then targeted people on what she called the “far right.” They were “living in this conservative evangelical silo that, ultimately, is just pulling us back as a country to a time and a place where we don’t deserve to be, and we’re not going to be.” Young women and fathers are “woke and they’re not going to let us go back,” she insists. Siebel-Newsom had “so much hope because of that and obviously California has a huge responsibility to lead,” and so on.

In 2023, Siebel-Newsom, took her own children on a tour of red states, including Florida and Alabama, presumably so they could witness the basket of deplorables up close and in person. Gavin Newsom’s wife describes herself as a “truth seeker,” so she is fully capable of defying satire. For all but the willfully blind, Siebel-Newsom is a full-on bigot in the style of Norman Lear and Rob Reiner. Newsom’s wife uses her power and prestige to demonize conservatives, especially those who tend to recognize biological reality.

In 2024, Gavin and Jennifer moved to a $9 million mansion in upscale Marin County, where their children attend exclusive private schools. Since California has “a huge responsibility to lead,” Gavin and Jennifer would doubtless swap the posh digs for the White House, perhaps in a two-for-one deal like the Clintons. As Trump likes to say, we’ll have to see what happens.
