Steve Hilton is charging into California’s governor race with a fiery promise to rescue the state from decades of Democratic failures. The Republican outsider vows to slash taxes, crush bureaucracy, and save education from woke radicals. His campaign slogan “Great Jobs. Great Homes. Great Kids” targets working families crushed by California’s sky-high costs and failing schools.
Hilton blasts California’s leaders for letting homelessness spiral and businesses flee. He’s a UK immigrant whose parents escaped communism — and he says California’s oppressive regulations mimic the socialism they fled. “We’re not just any state,” he declares. “California should lead America, not embarrass it.” His plan? Axe red tape so homes get built fast and parents control their kids’ education.
Democrats have ruled California for 15 disastrous years — and Hilton’s book “Califailure” exposes the wreckage. Test scores show half of students can’t read properly. Homeless camps explode while housing prices smash records. Hilton’s solution: purge radical ideologies from classrooms and let teachers focus on basics like math and English.
The GOP primary pits Hilton against Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco, setting up a clash for the conservative base. Hilton’s Fox News background and Trump-friendly policies could give him an edge with voters tired of weak Republican moderates. He’s already hosting rallies in conservative strongholds like Huntington Beach, branding himself as the anti-Newsom.
Hilton’s campaign embraces the MAGA spirit without mentioning Trump directly. He slams open borders and vows to clean up San Francisco’s drug-infested streets. Critics call him too extreme, but Hilton fires back: “Common sense isn’t extreme. Letting kids fail and families struggle? That’s extreme.”
California’s jungle primary system usually shuts out Republicans, but Hilton believes 2026 is different. Voters are furious over crime, unaffordable energy, and state agencies harassing small businesses. His message? Dump the Democrat elites who prioritize climate fanaticism over cheap gas and reliable power.
The British-born policymaker isn’t just complaining — his “Golden Together” plan has detailed fixes. Cut income taxes for middle-class workers. Fast-track permits for apartments and factories. Let parents use education dollars for any school — even homeschooling. “California built the modern world,” he says. “We’ll do it again by trusting people, not politicians.”
Hilton faces an uphill fight in blue California, but his campaign is a rallying cry for conservatives nationwide. If he can channel voter anger into a movement, 2026 might shock the coastal elites. As Hilton told supporters: “This isn’t about left or right. It’s about making California golden again — for everyone.”
