In February 2015, Newsom announced he was opening a committee to run for Governor of California in 2018.

His father is of Irish descent, while one of his maternal great-grandfathers, Scotsman Thomas Addis, was a pioneer scientist in the field of nephrology and a professor of medicine at Stanford University.
