That paperwork also doesn\u2019t include any diversified index funds or similar investments that are less likely to present conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s holdings in PumpJack have been locked in a blind trust since he was sworn in as governor in 2019; he also signed an executive order barring state agencies from doing business with the company. During the 2018 campaign for governor, he declined to sell them outright.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are my babies, my life, my family. I can&#8217;t do that.

The nonprofit paid her more than $161,250 last year for her 40-hour-a-week work as founder and COO, according to tax filings. It separately paid Siebel Newsom\u2019s related film production company, Girls Club Entertainment, an identical amount for contracting work. In all, Siebel Newsom earned roughly $3 million in pre-tax salary and contractor payments since 2015. In its filings, the Representation Project said that GCE owns the copyright to four films written and produced by Siebel Newsom and has licensed it to the Representation Project for distribution. \u201cCosts incurred by GCE for production purposes, including the writer\/director\/producer fee, were reimbursed by The Representation Project,\u201d the nonprofit said in its returns.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>A 2021 Bee investigation found more than $800,000 in donations to Representation Project from companies with business in front of the governor, including PG&amp;E, AT&amp;T and Kaiser Permanente.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Siebel is also the unpaid co-founder of the California Partners Project, which advocates for \u201cgender equity across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The governor has solicited more than $4.8 million worth of donations since 2020 for the nonprofit.
