'Californians deserve a life they can afford': Billionaire Tom Steyer is running for governor in crowded race to succeed Gavin Newsom | Fortune
"Californians deserve a life they can afford,"
"But the Californians who make this state run are being run over by the cost of living."
"Tom Steyer tried to buy the presidency - and he failed. The California governorship is not going to be his consol"
Tom Steyer launched a Democratic bid for California governor at age 68, entering a crowded all-party primary with more than a half-dozen Democrats and two Republicans. His substantial personal fortune makes him an immediate notable contender with capacity for extensive television and digital advertising across multiple media markets. The campaign emphasizes improving economic conditions, consumer protections, working-class interests, and environmental priorities, with a focus on affordability and the high cost of living. Steyer previously self-financed an unsuccessful presidential run and spent his own money advocating for President Donald Trump's impeachment. Prior wealthy candidates have failed in past statewide contests despite heavy personal spending.
