Crowded California governor race takes shape as 10 file to run

Eight Democrats and two Republicans have filed to run in California’s June 2 governor primary, creating a wide-open race where the top two vote-getters advance to the general election. The candidate lineup includes Xavier Becerra, Matt Mahan, Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, Eric Swalwell, Tony Thurmond, Antonio Villaraigosa and Betty Yee (Democrats) and Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton (Republicans). With two Republican frontrunners consolidating support, Democrats face a crowded field and vote-splitting risk; the secretary of state will publish an official candidate list by March 21, after which the top two become the nominees for November.

Calif. Democrats chase a party endorsement amid a crowded gubernatorial field

At the California Democratic Party endorsement convention, nine Democrats vying to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom entered a marathon process with little expectation of earning the party’s endorsement, which requires 60% of about 3,500 delegates. Early results put Rep. Eric Swalwell in the lead around 24%, with Betty Yee and Xavier Becerra trailing, but no candidate near the threshold. The sprawling field and fundraising dynamics raise questions about narrowing the field ahead of the June primary and the risk of a GOP lockout in November.

Steyer pushes 2027 ballot to raise corporate taxes in California

Tom Steyer told labor unions he would back a 2027 push to raise corporate taxes, potentially via a special legislative session and an off-year ballot that could expand Prop 13 with a split-roll to tax commercial property at market value; he argues the move is needed to shore up California’s budget after federal cuts, while courting union endorsements and signaling he might finance the effort with his personal wealth.

Tom Steyer and Billionaire Backing Boost Prop 50 Campaigns

Tom Steyer's independent approach to campaigning has caused frustration among Democrats, especially in California, due to his perceived ego and conflicts with established political figures like Barack Obama. Despite his efforts to collaborate with groups like House Majority PAC, his solo strategy is seen as potentially disruptive, though some believe his financial contributions still benefit the campaign efforts.

"Biden's Lake Tahoe Getaway: A Vacation at Tom Steyer's Mansion"

President Biden and his family are staying in a vacation home in Lake Tahoe owned by climate activist and former Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Tom Steyer. The private home, owned by Steyer and his wife, is located on the popular tourist destination and is being rented for fair market value. This is Biden's second vacation in August, following a previous trip to Delaware. The vacation will be briefly interrupted for a meeting with those affected by a recent wildfire in Maui.
