The race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom features candidates including a Riverside County sheriff, a former senior advisor to British Prime Minister David Cameron, a former Los Angeles mayor, a billionaire hedge fund founder, and two former U.S. House members. Polling has Xavier Becerra leading among Democrats, emphasizing affordability and housing for “working Californians.” The June 2 primary’s top contenders include Republican Steve Hilton, endorsed by President Trump, and Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer. Candidates debate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids that began in California last summer, with criticism focused on migrant children and immigrant protection. Proposed policies span eliminating key environmental laws and offering free childcare and college tuition, alongside positions affecting the entertainment industry.
