Early life and education

Newsom was the eldest of two children born to Tessa (Thomas Menzies) Newsom and William Alfred Newsom III. His father was a lawyer who later served as an appellate court justice. In 1972 Gavin Newsomโ€™s parents divorced, and he and his sister lived with their mother, who held multiple jobs. He struggled in school due to severe dyslexia, a condition with which he was diagnosed at age five. However, Newsom was gifted at sports and later attended Santa Clara University on a partial baseball scholarship. He was a pitcher for the schoolโ€™s team until an arm injury ended his career during his sophomore year. In 1989 he graduated with a bachelorโ€™s degree in political science.
