New Independent Committee Launches TV Ad Targeting Newsom and Villaraigosa for Abuse Of Power Over Women; #GavinToo; #AntonioToo
(ENCINITAS, CA) – A new independent expenditure committee today launched a powerful television ad exposing Democrats Gavin Newsom and Antonio Villaraigosa for their inappropriate sexual conduct with women in a workplace environment.
The ad links the two leading Democrats to other men who have been held to account for their own inappropriate sexual conduct towards women, including Harvey Weinstein, Charlie Rose, Roger Ailes, Matt Lauer, Steve Wynn and Al Franken. While those men, and many others like them, have appropriately faced punishment in the #MeToo era, Newsom and Villariagosa have escaped such punishment and instead seek a promotion. The ad, which is airing in all major television markets in the state and can be viewed at the committee’s website, www.restoreourvalues.com, promotes the hashtags #GavinToo and #AntonioToo to hold them to account.
“The issue raised in this ad is trust and abuse of power,” said Leigh Teece, Co-Chairwoman of Restore Our Values, an independent expenditure committee sponsoring the advertisement. “Gavin Newsom and Antonio Villaraigosa both abused a position of power and engaged in highly inappropriate sexual relationships with women over whom they exercised control in the workplace. This type of behavior is simply not acceptable and would get them fired in most workplaces in America today. It certainly would not mean a promotion.”
As Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a woman on his staff whom he supervised and controlled all aspects of her employment. As Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a reporter who was assigned by her employer to cover him as a major function of her job.
When the media exposed their conduct, both Newsom and Villariagosa issued official apologies and said the sexual relationships were consensual. The Restore Our Values committee takes that reaction to task.
“Both Gavin Newsom and Antonio Villaraigosa were in a position to impact the very livelihood and careers of the women involved. They had the power, the women did not,” Teece said. “This is exactly the kind of situation that sexual harassment laws are designed to address. A woman who is being pursued by a man who signs her paycheck or influences how successful she can be at her job is in a vulnerable position, and whether she realizes it or not, the inherent imbalance of power raises serious questions about her ability to truly voluntarily consent. It’s why in most workplaces in America today, someone like Newsom or Villaraigosa would be fired for their inappropriate sexual conduct with a subordinate.”
In March, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amanda Renteria called on Newsom to resign from office over the very conduct that Restore Our Values is highlighting in their new TV ad. “We agree with Ms. Renteria’s comments that California ‘will not go back to a time when we had to publicly smile while someone with a history of harming employees and misusing his power gets promoted. No more. Not ever again.'” Teece said. “As far as we are concerned, this applies equally to Villaraigosa as well.”
Restore Our Values is an independent expenditure committee supporting John Cox in the upcoming California gubernatorial election. The committee operates completely independently of the Cox campaign. Cox has no knowledge of or role in any activity undertaken by Restore our Values, and the independent committee has no connection to the Cox campaign.
“As Californians, we deserve better than two flawed Democrats on the ballot. We want voters to realize that we have choices, and John Cox is a much better choice,” Teece said. “Cox is a businessman, not a politician. He’s focused on restoring California by making California safer, improving our schools, creating jobs, lowering taxes and getting control of spending and our unsustainable debt. We urge voters to support him in the upcoming open primary."
Newsom and Villaraigosa affairs coming to TV ads in California
Author: PHIL WILLON - Los Angeles Times
APRIL 30, 2018
An independent political committee backing Republican John Cox for governor released an ad blasting both Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa for their past sexual affairs.
The “California Deserves Better” ad, which was first reported by Politico, criticizes Newsom for having an affair with a woman on his staff in 2005 while he served as mayor of San Francisco. It also goes after Villaraigosa for having an extramarital affair with a television reporter in 2007 while he was mayor of Los Angeles.
The ad, which begins airing on Fox stations in the state’s top media markets Monday, links Newsom and Villaraigosa to the men accused of sexual impropriety in the #MeToo movement, including movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and disgraced “Today” show veteran Matt Lauer.
“Powerful men are finally being held to account, punished for inappropriate sexual conduct with women over whom they exercise power,” the ad begins. “…Newsom and Villaraigosa think the rules shouldn’t apply to them.”
The independent campaign committee, called Restore Our Values, already has raised more than $100,000, said Leigh Teece of Emeryville in Northern California, co-founder of the group.
Teece, the CEO of a nonprofit that helps line up students with professional mentors, said the campaign will actively support Cox. She called him a “true conservative” and noted that he supports cutting taxes and opposes California’s sanctuary state policy.
“John is a business person who has demonstrated integrity,” Teece said.

Sex as a weapon — gubernatorial candidates’ indiscretions star in conservative ad

Sex as a weapon — gubernatorial candidates’ indiscretions star in conservative ad
Author: Joe Garofoli – San Francisco Chronicle
April 30, 2018
The political attack that many expected in California’s gubernatorial campaign against Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa — calling them out for sexual affairs they had while in office — landed Monday.
Who’s throwing the punch? An independent expenditure committee supporting Republican businessman John Cox, called Restore Our Values.
The 30-second spot begins with images of a rogues’ gallery of men recently exposed for sexual misconduct — movie producer Harvey Weinstein, former talk show host Charlie Rose, former Fox News chief Roger Ailes, former “Today” host Matt Lauer, casino magnate Steve Wynn and former Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.
The ad’s narrator states, “Powerful men are finally being held to account and punished for inappropriate sexual conduct with women over whom they exercised power.
“Gavin Newsom had such a sexual relationship with a woman on his mayoral staff. Antonio Villaraigosa did the same with a reporter assigned to cover him. Newsom and Villaraigosa think the rules shouldn’t apply to them. They don’t want punishment — they want a promotion.” The kicker: “Californians deserve better: John Cox for governor.”
The backstory: Cox is aiming at Villaraigosa because the two are virtually tiedin the latest nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California poll, for second place behind Newsom. Only two candidates from the June 5 primary will advance to the general election.
However, it is questionable whether Restore Our Values has enough cash to ensure that the attack resonates. It has only $64,935 cash on hand and has raised only $106,005. That’s not much when it costs roughly $2 million to keep an ad on the air for a week in a major California market.
Plus it will be interesting to see if this attack resonates in the #MeToo era, given that voters seemed to have forgiven both men. Newsom was re-elected mayor of San Francisco nine months after news of his 2005 affair with his scheduler, who was the wife of his campaign manager, broke in February 2007. Voters subsequently elected him lieutenant governor twice. Villaraigosa was re-elected easily in 2009, two years after news of his affair broke.
There’s a bit of backstage GOP intrigue behind the pro-Cox group.
Its primary funder is Marin County businessman Ken Casey, who contributed $100,000 to the pro-Cox independent expenditure campaign through his company, Professional Investors Security Fund or PISF. Casey wasn’t always a pro-Cox. On April 5, PISF contributed $300,000 to Cox’s top GOP opponent, Assemblyman Travis Allen, R-Huntington Beach, for a campaign to oppose California’s gas tax.
Instead, according to Restore Our Values co-chairwoman Leigh Teece, Allen used the contribution to promote his own campaign as well as the anti-gas tax. That’s one reason why Casey is now a pro-Cox donor.
“We are concerned because Travis betrayed a donor and a friend,” Teece told The Chronicle Monday. Instead of spending the money on gathering signatures to get the anti-gas tax on the ballot, “Travis took that money and spent it on himself. Our group is about integrity. If he’s taking it from a donor and a friend, what’s he going to do as a governor?”
“That is an outright lie,” Allen told The Chronicle Monday. “If money dictated the outcome of races in California, then Meg Whitman would be governor of California. All of this is just another attempt by the crony pals of John Cox to cover his own inadequacies and record of failure.”
KAMALA HARRIS builds an online army — JOHN COX gets boost from outside group — PENCE heads to CALEXICO
Author: David Siders, Carla Marinucci with Candice Norwood – Politico
April 30, 2018
... “This is an election that has national implications...and voters need to look at the character” of the candidates, says Leigh Teece, the co-chair of the Restore Our Values campaign, who spoke to POLITICO exclusively Saturday. Teece — a former Republican who is now a “no-party-preference” voter” — is the CEO and founder of the Emeryvillle-based non–profit, World Mentor, a group which aims to boost STEM skills in education, and also chairs the Silicon Valley Institute for Business Education. This year, she says, voters looking to cast ballots in the gubernatorial election are “starved for values. Democrats and Republicans really feel battered. We want governance.” It’s a model, she says, was exemplified by former GOP Rep. Tom Campbell — a fiscal conservative and social moderate. Right now, she says, “John Cox is the best candidate you’ve never heard of,” but the IE hopes to spread the word and help boost his numbers.
-- She says that’s the reason she has taken on the effort to raise money to assist Cox, “a conservative businessman who supports our passion for education” and charter schools, and who’s shown that as a father and a businessman,”he can restore values as being a priority.” Teece says the group has raised about $110,000 to date, and aims to raise more from independents and Republicans alike – and that it expects the ad to run in five media markets in California. Stay tuned.

SKYDECK SKYLINE
November 2, 2017
For all who experience the innovation ecosystem of Berkeley, there's now a very special sparkle. When you look across the cityscape at the top of the tallest building, you’ll see the name of Berkeley's premier accelerator, SkyDeck. Founded over a dozen years ago by Leigh and David Teece and colleague Michael Cohen, it is now home to some of the most innovative startups of Silicon Valley. The innovation community now looks upon SkyDeck as the preeminent Cal Berkley Accelerator to rocket to outer space.
SkyDeck's new sign’s design was a collaborative effort by Executive Director Caroline Winnett, RadiantBrands Principal Steven Donaldson, and signage company AdArt.

Women in Leadership: Expanding Influence and Leading Change, Columbia University, New York City
November 8-10, 2017
Leigh is committed to helping women achieve their potential as leaders globally. The research and evidence is clear: inclusive leaders and inclusive organizations outperform those that are not, yet women remain underrepresented in all levels of management. This course is designed to help elevate the impact of women leaders – enabling them to navigate the business landscape, develop and leverage their talents, and step into roles of greater influence. Despite the compelling case for equality of gender representation at all levels of an organization, even with the best of intentions, unconscious bias can distort critical decisions influencing who moves ahead within an organization. Participants learn time-tested techniques and practical ideas that women can apply immediately to their career and that can help combat these performance-limiting biases. Executives are inspired, network with likeminded colleagues, and learn applicable skills for an immediate impact on their career and their organization.
