Steve Hilton is fighting to save California from radical leftist policies. The Republican candidate for governor says Democrats have destroyed the state with high taxes, out-of-control wildfires, and attacks on traditional values. Hilton launched his campaign in Huntington Beach, a conservative stronghold, vowing to restore common sense.
Hilton blasted Democrats for letting wildfires rage across California. He called January’s catastrophic burns a direct result of extremist environmental policies and bureaucratic failures. The former Fox News host accused Sacramento politicians of putting woke ideology ahead of public safety.
California’s sky-high housing costs are crushing working families, Hilton said. He blamed Democrats for regulations that make building homes impossible. Hilton promised to slash red tape so young people can afford to live where they grew up.
The candidate mocked rumors Kamala Harris might run for governor. Hilton said Californians don’t want a failed Washington politician who cares more about identity politics than fixing problems. He called Harris part of the same elite that wrecked the state.
Hilton’s plan includes axing the gas tax and ending Sacramento’s war on cars. He wants to roll back green energy mandates that hike electricity bills. The Republican promised to put parents back in charge of schools instead of teachers’ unions.
Homeless camps and open-air drug markets dominate California cities under Democrat rule, Hilton warned. He pledged to clear streets and enforce laws against public drug use. The candidate said compassion means helping people get clean, not letting them die in tents.
Hilton faces an uphill battle in deep-blue California but says voters are fed up. Polls show most residents think the state is headed downhill. The Republican hopes to unite frustrated moderates and conservatives tired of one-party rule.
His rallying cry? “Make California Golden Again.” Hilton’s campaign merch features the slogan on bright gold hats. Supporters say only a political outsider can fix the mess Democrats created. The fight for America’s future starts in California.
