Jennifer Siebel’s husband – Gavin Newsom dropped his bid for California governor on Friday.

“With a young family and responsibilities at city hall, I have found it impossible to commit the time required to complete this effort the way it needs to — and should be — done,” Newsom said in a statement. “This is not an easy decision. But it is one made with the best intentions for my wife, my daughter, the residents of the city and county of San Francisco, and California Democrats.”

“Mayor Newsom is a talented public official and I believe he has a bright future,” Jerry Brown , who is an ex-governor and former presidential hopeful, 71, said in a statement. “I am sure this was not an easy decision.”

Newsom, 42, was first elected in 2003. In 2007, he was re-elected with 74 percent of the vote. After winning re-election later that year, he seemed to catch a second wind in office. Last year, he married actress Jennifer Siebel, who gave birth to the couple’s first child, a daughter, last month.
