Governor

Kevin Kiley, Vivek Ramaswamy, CRA endorsed - A commentator wrote “Hilton kicked off campaign in April 2025. Hilton wants practical solutions to rebuild a “ladder of opportunity,” so every Californian can have a great job and a great home — though many are ideas that the progressive Legislature is unlikely to support. A former Fox News host and, back when a UK citizen, policy advisor to former British Prime Minister David Cameron.” [The May 2026 blow-up about the Epstein files was an inquiry by an underling during Steve’s time in the UK asking for contact with Woody Allen (which never panned out). This is guilt by association since no direct association with Epstein existed. The real value of Hilton as Governor is the VETO pen for progressive bills written by the majority legislature. - HB]

It was acquired in 2017 by Cantor Fitzgerald, a global financial services firm, where he now serves as chief investment officer of one of its divisions.  His leadership and financial management experience qualifies him well to oversee the large sums of money in California’s enormous budget. Some key functions of the state controller are: 1) to maintain the accounting system of the state government, 2) serving as an internal auditor to audit funds spent by state agencies, and 3) to supervise local government finances.”
