Tim Myers, a founding member of OneRepublic, is running for California lieutenant governor in 2026. He expresses disappointment in the current leadership and aims to challenge President Trump’s policies. His concerns include the deployment of troops to Los Angeles, funding cuts to education and healthcare, and issues related to affordability and homelessness. Myers’ background, from humble beginnings to a successful music career, informs his political ambitions. He aims to use his voice to oppose career politicians and reinforce the California dream for future generations.
As a Democrat, Myers said he wants to see state leaders stand up more to President Donald Trump and his administration's policies, specifically pointing to the deployment of troops to Los Angeles amid increased immigration enforcement operations and scaled-back or eliminated funding to universities and Medicaid.
Myers remembers feeding the homeless with his father, a tradition he has since continued with his own two daughters. Pre-OneRepublic fame, Myers worked as a janitor at his dad's church and later juggled opening up Starbucks at 5 a.m. as a barista along with attending school and playing in multiple bands, he said.
