Steve Hilton, a passionate advocate for conservative principles and former Fox News contributor, has officially announced his candidacy for governor of California in 2026.
Hilton's entry into the race comes at a crucial time as the state grapples with the repercussions of more than a decade of one-party rule under the Democrats.
In a powerful video released on social media, Hilton expressed his love for California and his strong desire to restore the Golden State to its former glory.
"It's time to make California Golden Again," he declared, highlighting the drastic changes that have unfolded under the current administration.
Reflecting on the state’s decline, Hilton stated, “After 15 years of one-party rule, this state is barely recognizable.”
For many Californians, the consequences of unfettered progressive policies have been stark; rising crime rates, skyrocketing living costs, and increasing homelessness have painted a grim picture of life in the state.
As a seasoned entrepreneur and advisor, Hilton brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective that could resonate with the electorate yearning for change.
He has gathered support not only from passionate citizens but also from fellow Republicans, including Vivek Ramaswamy, who praised Hilton as a beacon of American excellence.
With current Governor Gavin Newsom set to leave office, Hilton's campaign could tap into the widespread discontent with Democratic leadership.
Prominent contenders on the Democratic side, including Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis and former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, signal that the race will be competitive.
Yet, Hilton's commitment to conservative values may provide a strong platform to win over voters seeking a restoration of law, order, and opportunity.
As California looks ahead to the 2026 election, Hilton’s call to action highlights a pivotal moment for the state, with the potential to shift its trajectory back toward prosperity and common sense governance.
For many, Hilton encapsulates hope amid despair, and his vision for a renewed California is one that deserves attention and support.
