How to Contact California's Governor

California is the most populous state in the US, with over 39 million people, and with so many people, it can be hard for the governor to know what they want.

They also sign bills to make them law, can issue executive orders, and announce proclamations to commemorate special events. As of February 2021, the governor of California is Gavin Newsom, and you can let them know what you want by contacting them. [2]
