Federal filings reveal that California Governor Gavin Newsom's leadership PAC, Campaign for Democracy, spent $1,561,875 purchasing roughly 67,000 copies of his memoir "Young Man in a Hurry" — about two-thirds of the book's total print sales of 97,400 copies. The arrangement, in which donors who gave any amount to the PAC received a free copy, raises questions about artificially inflated bestseller credentials ahead of a potential 2028 presidential bid, even as Newsom's team argues the promotion was a legitimate fundraising tool that generated more in donations than it cost.
