“First Partner” Jennifer Siebel Newsom has made a fortune from the non-profit organization she founded, The Representation Project, whose films indoctrinate kids to hate “toxic masculinity.”
The New York Postreported last yearthat Siebel Newsom “runs companies stacked with her husband’s former Democratic aides and confidants — while raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees from the state and lobbyists.”
The Representation ProjectpaidSiebel Newsom $150,000 in 2024, and paid her production company, Girls Club Entertainment, LLC, another $150,000. The nonprofit also “received donations … from companies that lobbied her husband,” The Post reported.
The California Post alsoreported this weekthat the State of California promoted Siebel Newsom’s films about gender, with the Department of Education recommending them in school curricula.
Siebel Newsom also co-founded another nonprofit group, called the California Partners Project, which has benefited from Governor Newsom’s help more openly, through what are called “behested payments.”
These are payments that politicians are allowed — under California law — to ask donors to make to non-profit groups that they designate.
The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) requires politicians to report these payments, but the requirements have been notoriously loose.
California has legalized these suspicious arrangements — what might be called “pay to play” in other states.
The system was — and remains — vulnerable to abuse,even after reforms in 2021that required politicians to disclose big donors’ names.
Over the past 15 years, Newsom has reported asking for $300 million in such behested payments — nearly $227 million in 2020 alone, according to FPPC disclosures.
