Does Gavin Newsom live in San Francisco anymore? No, according to the Chron — and if that’s true, than he’s no longer a member of the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee. Any constitutional officer who is a member of the Democratic Party is automatically a member of the county commitee in the county where he or she resides; Newsom, of course, never shows up for the meetings, but he gets to send a proxy. (He has two alternatives, John Shanley and Warren Hinckle.) In a letter to Newsom dated June 16, DCCC Chair Aaron Peskin asks Newsom to clarify his residence: “if you are in fact a Marin County resident, you would no longer be a member of the SFDCC and would instead be a member of the Marin Democratic County Central Committee.”
Peskin told me he hasn’t heard back from the Lt. Guv. I haven’t heard back from him or his standard press flak, Peter Ragone, either.
