Gov. Gavin Newsom won't give a State of the State address this year, shunning the teleprompter that has frustrated him because of his dyslexia in favor of a statewide tour this month
It's a break from tradition for Newsom, a Democrat and potentially a future presidential candidate who has attempted many times to reinvent the speech for modern audiences. He has tried devoting the entire speech to just one topic - homelessness in 2020 - and using Dodger Stadium during the pandemic to give exhausted residents a pep talk about " brighter days ahead."
Prior to World War II, governors would fulfill this requirement by sending a letter to the Legislature. That changed in the 1940s, when former Gov. Earl Warren - who would later become chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court - began giving a formal speech to the Legislature, according to Alex Vassar, a librarian at the California State Library who acts as an unofficial historian of the state Legislature. Governors have been giving speeches ever since.
"Building on his inaugural address and January budget, the Governor looks forward to fulfilling his constitutional obligation to update the Legislature on the state of the state - and joining lawmakers across California to outline transformative police proposals that will strengthen our communities," Anthony York, Newsom's senior adviser for communications, said in a text message.
