So proud of the team at LaMont Digital as we pick up a win in the Government & Politics category at the @shortyawards in NYC.

9 stops in 14 days, and Gov. @GavinNewsom centered creators the entire way:

18 of 22 interviews were with creators.

7 of the 9 moderators were creators/independent journalists/podcast hosts.

Live-streamed every stop & partnered with @MeidasTouch to carry key stops live on their platform.

He attended a @LiveNationUrban creator event at The Gathering Spot in Atlanta & hosted local Bay Area creators on stage ahead of the SF show.

He diversified platforms: Snapchat, YouTube, IG, Twitch, TikTok, podcasts, newsletters, and of course IRL.

And he’s not done yet!

Gavin Newsom Trolls Kristi Noem Over Trump Firing https://t.co/5V1ZtUUky9

[Kyle Tharp @kylewilsontharp]

NEW: Gavin Newsom is having a very good year, both online and off.

From passing Prop 50 to his podcast success, influencer collabs, and viral social growth, the California Governor is giving grassroots Democrats what they want: style and substance.

HOW YOU KNOW GOV. ABBOTT HAD A SMALLER RALLY IN HIS HOME STATE?

“Abbott's camp did not respond to requests for comment or to confirm the event’s head count.”

It's been less than 24 hours since @GavinNewsom rallied in Houston, thanking Texas Democrats for fighting back against Trump's unprecedented rigging of their 2026 elections.

📺 More than 1.5 Million views on the full speech from posts by @MeidasTouch, @HarryJSisson, and @BrianTylerCohen (on YouTube alone).

📺 More than 1.6 Million views on @0liviaJulianna’s content while attending the rally (on Twitter alone) plus more from @TheTNHoller, who covers "red" states.

📺 More than 2 Million views on just IG content thanks to folks like @DemocraticWins & @CalltoActivism.

Plus, a whole lot of content on TikTok from folks in line, those who could make it in and those who got a special, impromptu appearance from the Governor outside once the venue hit capacity.

Oh, and @FoxNews took it live 😉

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

Amazing meeting with @GavinNewsom today in Houston! (very smart. very handsome) Not like Greg Abbott, who can’t keep electricity on, or Donald Trump, who can’t keep the government open.

TOTAL DISASTERS!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

It's good to be in Texas.
