Republican Steve Hilton has launched his general election campaign for California governor, promising to lower gas prices and utility bills for residents. Hilton, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, acknowledged that some Californians may dislike Trump but encouraged them to consider voting for him based on his policies.
Campaign Promises
Hilton vowed to bring the price of gasoline down to $3 a gallon, cut residents’ utility bills in half, and eliminate state income taxes on the first $150,000 in earnings. He blamed the state’s problems, including homelessness and low student test scores, on Democrats who hold every statewide office and supermajorities in the Legislature.
Hilton’s campaign is hoping to appeal to Democrats and independents who are dissatisfied with the current state of California. His opponent, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, has criticized Hilton’s relationship with Trump and argued that Hilton’s policies would not address the state’s affordability crisis.
