Governor 

  • Xavier Becerra - D - 28% - Career politician since 1987

  • Steve Hilton - R - 25% - Small Business Owner - Spoke at CRA 2/2026 and HJTA, Trump, Charlie Kirk, Rep. Kevin Kiley, Vivek Ramaswamy endorsed - Commentator and Author - 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 on the most outrageous bills written by the progressive majority legislature. - HB]

DATA SOURCES

Party Clash: Carl DeMaio (CA75) of Reform California (RC) reported that the 2025 California bi-annual GOP Convention voted AGAINST: (1) energy independence and (2) deporting illegal border crossers. The California GOP mood was anti-Trump at that 2025 convention and in 4/2026. DeMaio explicitly advocated on 2/2026 to cease donating to the California GOP. He repeated this on his podcast after 4/16. Even so, the CAGOP endorsements after 4/15/2026 matches his own.
