Newsom Wants to Rekindle Relationship with Brown

California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) tells George Skleton he understands why he doesn’t have a good relationship with Gov. Jerry Brown (D): “I get it.”

Referring the the race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 2010, he says: “I stayed in that race a little longer than he expected or wanted. So I’m not naive.”

But he wants a truce: “I’m ready to take the call and be supportive, whatever he needs. I really do want to rekindle a relationship, but it’s his prerogative.”
