Halfway into his first term as governor and immersed in a historic struggle to slow the spread of COVID-19 in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom confirmed on Monday the departure of his chief of staff and the selection of a veteran Sacramento strategist to lead his administration. DeBoo Communications received less than $900,000 in that same period. The governor’s communications director, Nathan Click, left in early December. Matosantos will retain her job as Cabinet secretary, working with state agencies and departments.
