First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom

Office of First Partner header.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom chose the title First Partner, as opposed to the traditional title of First Lady, to send a signal of inclusivity, recognizing that one day there will be a woman or LGBTQ+ Governor of California, and to elevate the importance of partnership and the need for, and benefits of, a caring, inclusive government.

The Office of the First Partner works to create a culture of selflessness and community, a culture that values WE over me and taps into our common humanity through service and empathy.
