Steyer, 68, pointed to his business experience in a candidate video saying he’s running because «Californians deserve a life they can afford.»
Nov. 19 Billionaire activist Tom Steyer announced his run for California governor after the former presidential candidate claimed no plans existed for him to again run for political office.
Steyer, 68, pointed to his business experience in a candidate video vying to replace term-limited Gov, Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and rumored 2028 presidential contender, saying he’s running because «Californians deserve a life they can afford.»
«Sacramento politicians are afraid to change this system. I’m not», he added in a campaign launch video.
He joined the field with other gubernatorial candidates such as former U.S. Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., ex-U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
