California Governor Gavin Newsom relies on a core group of advisers, many of whom have been with him since his days as a businessman-turned-mayor in San Francisco.

The inner circle includes policy advisers, media strategists, campaign consultants, cabinet officials, and close friends. They provide advice on various issues such as fundraising, communication strategy, climate change, housing, and environmental policies. Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, also influences his decision-making, particularly on education and childcare funding.
