Tom Steyer outlines California climate‑focused gubernatorial bid

Tom Steyer ran a hedge fund. His job was to sell corporations to investors. He was really good at it. He made billions. Now he’s trying to sell California a lie. That he is qualified to be our governor. #VoteForBecerra

"I started to come around to this idea that if you have wealth, it does actually allow you to maybe be a little more impartial...little bit less dirty politician-like." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social looks at why some California progressives—usually allergic to billionaires—may be open to Tom Steyer.

CA Governor Gubernatorial primary (Emerson) Xavier Becerra (D) 28% Tom Steyer (D) 22% Steve Hilton (R) 21% Chad Bianco (R) 12% Katie Porter (D) 5% Matt Mahan (D) 5% Antonio Villaraigosa (D) 2% emersoncollegepolling.com/california-2...

🚨 What this poll doesn’t show: CA’s top-two primary sends the 2 highest finishers to November — party doesn’t matter. Trump-endorsed MAGA Steve Hilton is statistically tied with Steyer for that #2 spot. Six Democrats are splitting our vote. Ballots due Tuesday, June 2.

New Emerson Poll: Hilton & Steyer tied for #2. Becerra "maintains frontrunner status...while Tom Steyer & Steve Hilton both have paths to advance to the Nov. general election..." Also, contains data on potential voter defection from various candidates.

I can’t wait for this California election to be over FREE ME FROM TOM STEYER ADS.

“Keep California Californian” 🙄 Tom Steyer isn’t a Californian. Xavier Becerra IS Californian.

Tom Steyer looks like he would park his cart right in the middle of a grocery aisle to stare at the oatmeal for a solid five minutes.

I’m disgusted by the Tom Steyer ads for California governor, attacking Xavier Becerra with misinformation, disinformation, and political spin. Steyer is showing us he’s a typical billionaire - calling himself a democrat while behaving on-brand MAGA. Don’t let Steyer ruin our state.

Here are the three candidates running for governor of California, and the amounts of money they spent of political advertising: $201 million Tom Steyer, $35 million Matt Mahan, & $24 million Xavier Becerra. Becerra is ahead in the polls despite having spent […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Pretty much describes Tom Steyer in CA, a billionaire who is breaking the law by not disclosing he's paying influencers to endorse him. Wee fella has spent a HALF A BILLION $ to buy first a presidential attempt & now the governorship of California. @xavierbecerra.bsky.social for CA governor.

I worry about the election for Governor in California. Current polls show Becerra in first, Steve Hilton in 2nd and Tom Steyer in 3rd. Democrats who support Steyer need to consider voting for Becerra. We can't split the vote between Becerra and Steyer. Or, Hilton, a Republican could win.

Robert Reich: "Steyer is the only candidate who's said he’d vote for the billionaire wealth tax, and he’s also said we need to go even further. Under his revenue plan, he’d raise taxes on corporations and other billionaires to fund schools and healthcare." robertreich.substack.com/p/tom-steyer...

Xavier Becerra leads in polling while Tom Steyer and other Democratic candidates hold Bay Area and statewide get-out-the-vote rallies ahead of California’s governor primary.

A new Emerson College/Inside California Politics poll shows Xavier Becerra leading the California governor race with 28% support, followed by Tom Steyer (22%) and Steve Hilton (21%), as the primary nears. #CAGovernor #News
