Gavin Newsom’s Circle of Corruption

Across nearly three decades in politics, the governor has assembled a roster of criminal connections.

Jun 24 2026

I would have said “Newsom’s MULTI-RACIAL Circle Of Corruption”—Heritage Americans are rare among the criminal associates of Governor Newsom.

The first on the list is Dana Williamson, who is, in fact, a white woman:

but she worked for Mexican-American politician Xavier Becerra (Joe Biden’s Secretary of Health and Human Services) whose mother was from Guadalajara.

One of the many crimes she’s accused of is stealing $225,000 from Becerra’s “dormant campaign fund.”

Next is London Breed, the black Mayor of San Francisco.

Newsom served as San Francisco mayor from 2004 to 2011. One of his most enduring “accomplishments” was boosting the political career of London Breed, the future city mayor who proceeded to commit multiple ethics violations and is reportedly under federal scrutiny for alleged corruption.

Newsom repeatedly promoted Breed. In 2005, he appointed her to the city’s Redevelopment Agency Commission. In 2010, he named her to a post at San Francisco’s Fire Commission. These appointments likely helped Breed win San Francisco’s 2018 mayoral election.

One corruption scandal in Breed’s administration—one you wouldn’t get from Nancy Pelosi—is using her Mayoral office to appeal (successfully) to Governor Jerry Brown for a reduction in sentence for her criminal brother, Napoleon Brown:

Next on Newsom’s multicultural list of cremini associates is Mohammed Nuru:

Mohammed Nuru was a public works official under Mayor Newsom. For years, Nuru was a major figure in city politics, exercising “substantial power and influence over” San Francisco’s “business and policy, including its public contracts, permits, and construction projects.”

In 2020, Nuru was arrested for his role in a massive bribery and corruption scandal. For more than a decade, he had orchestrated a bribe-and-kickback racket, exercising his political power in exchange for cash and gifts. In 2022, Nuru pleaded guilty to federal charges and was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Newsom’s ties to Nuru predate his mayoralty. Nuru had reportedly volunteered on Newsom’s first mayoral campaign while serving in city government. In 2003, Nuru allegedly helped orchestrate a coercive voting scheme through the San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners (SLUG), a city-funded nonprofit under contract with his department.

Nuru was born in England, and apparently raised on a farm in Nigeria, before coming to the US to study and never going home. I’m not sure exactly what his ethnicity is, but let’s say “Nigerian”. He once dated Mayor London Breed.

Here are some more corrupt San Franciscans associated with Newsom and the San Francisco Democrats:

“Permit Expediter” Walter Wong: born in Hong Kong in 1948 and immigrated to San Francisco at age 23, I.E. as a result of the Immigration Act of 1965;

Melahat Rafiei, born in Iran:

Mark Ridley-Thomas, a regular black American, like London Breed:

Rodrigo Santos, a native of Ecuador:

Rudolph Dwayne Jones, a black American:

There are a couple of white ethnics in Newsom’s circle of corruption, but most of them are some kind of minority.

City Journal says

California’s culture of self-dealing and corruption stretches back decades. As mayor of San Francisco and now governor, Newsom has had ample opportunity to change it. Instead, he has spent nearly three decades in politics surrounding himself with many of the people responsible. As the old saying goes, “You are the company you keep.”

In fact, San Francisco corruption goes back more than a hundred years. Dashiell Hammett, a real-life detective before he became a novelist, had Sam Spade say “Most things in San Francisco can be bought, or taken,” and even then it was ethnic mobs that were in the forefront of crime.

But to the extent that California Democratic Governor Newsom, who may actually run for President on the Democratic ticket is the “company he keeps”, that company, aside from being corrupt, is mostly minority and foreign.

It’s one more example of Peter Brimelow’s thesis that the Democratic Party is reaching a ““tipping point”—becoming so dominated by minorities that the remaining whites suddenly stampede for the exit, a phenomenon well-documented in neighborhoods and schools” as you can read here on VDARE.com

James Fulford has been writing about the national question for over 20 years, mostly for VDARE.com, more recently for WhitePapers.
