It's amazing much damage the uni-party machine here in California has done over the past two decades to make everything worse, then the people living here simply blame all of these problems on Washington D.C. The solution is to have balance at all levels of government especially locally. Please do your research then cast your vote.

It's always an honor to be endorsed by a prestigious taxpayer organization. Thank you, LA Tax!

It's hard to trust government
They told us to use less water because of drought. We listened. So they jacked up water rates (by a LOT) to make up for the water we didn’t buy! Then they told us to buy EVs, even gave rebates. Now @XavierBecerra wants to impose EV tax AND mileage tax because EVs skip the gas tax! Can’t make this up! We do NOT have a revenue problem. We have a spending & theft & fraud problem. Period. If you want to pay WAY more tax, vote Becerra. If not, you know what to do. @SteveHiltonx is our ONLY hope.

Yes, vote Hilton!
The choice is clear: Son of immigrants. More than 35 years of public service experience. Ready to fight for us all.

You're both upstanding patriots. It was shocking that Lanhee lost but with ballot harvesting anything goes.
Lanhee Chen @lanheechen Endorses Herb Morgan for California State Controller! 🔥 Lanhee Chen ran against Malia Cohen in 2022 demanding accountability and transparency in Sacramento. Four years later, he’s still waiting for results. Now he’s endorsing Herb Morgan for State Controller, citing his lifetime of financial experience and commitment to holding Sacramento accountable. Same office. Same accountability questions. A new election. Vote #RadicalTranspatency on 🗳️ November 3, 2026.

And, and there needs to be fair and open competition between all union and non-union companies. Us taxpayers demand it.
🇺🇸 UNION WORKERS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS. I’m Herb Morgan, a Republican who believes workers have the right to organize, bargain collectively, and demand fair compensation. From construction sites to classrooms to hospital floors, skilled workers keep California running. I disagree with union leaders who support policies I believe make California more expensive for the very workers they represent. My priorities? Grow California’s economy. Expose government fraud. Protect taxpayer-funded services. Make sure public resources reach the workers and communities they’re intended to serve. You can respect organized labor AND demand accountability from its leadership. WORKERS DESERVE RESULTS. NOT POLITICAL EXCUSES. #RadicalTransparency

We must stop all illegal voting activities to bring back some semblance of confidence in our voting process. When will our county representatives start to realize that? LA County Urges Voters Not To Be Deterred By Fight Over 20K Ballots patch.com/california/los-ang…

I certainly would not blindly vote for someone like this.
BREAKING ON MORE POSSIBLE CORRUPTION IN PLAIN SIGHT about @SusanRubioCA Before you vote for Susan Rubio Just because she is a Democrat why don’t you ask her why she suddenly closed her legal defense fund and PAID HERSELF $75500 ? Is this who you want representing you? Seriously Southern California?

BARF! Gag me with a spoon valley girl!
We’re so close to a Becerra Era! Successful, experienced leadership is what California’s future needs. The best of California is still ahead. Join Team Becerra, and let’s win this election together!!

I love it!
Last week, I ran into a very senior California Democrat politician (who I know & won’t “out” to maintain trust). Part of the state “machine.” This person said “I’m blown away by @SteveHiltonx - he’s campaigned in every county, has serious policy proposals & is well liked. @XavierBecerra has been an embarrassment. He’s said & done nothing, taking Democrat votes for granted while Steve genuinely hustles. And his message resonates with Democrats.” Likened Hilton to Democrat SF Mayor @DanielLurie who has earned broad bipartisan support by addressing major issues with common sense policies everyone can agree with - while producing tangible results. See below👇 — Steve, unlike Becerra, is doing numerous campaign events a day, all drawing large crowds. And he does so in a t-shirt, no less!

Well said TJ
Replying to @GaizkaEtxaniz
I’m two years into CA from MD. Retired near my kids and grand kids. I’ve been all over both many times. CA should always beat TX. It shouldn’t be close. CA can’t beat TX now. Leadership matters. Policy matters. I’m rooting for Steve Hilton to turn CA golden again.

Problem solving over partisanship.
Steve Hilton is out on the streets, from Shabbat dinners to Skid Row to dog shelters, listening to all Californians! Where's Xavier Becerra? Still dodging questions about the migrant kids his HHS lost track of. Hilton is already proving through his campaign that he is the more proactive candidate! California deserves a governor who shows up!

Blah, blah, blah
“Tenemos que cumplir, no solo prometer.” La crisis de vivienda exige soluciones, no más excusas. Menos burocracia, más construcción y viviendas que las familias trabajadoras puedan pagar.

BINGO
The elected County Executive, who will make a salary of roughly $558,000 and not have term limits, will be one of the most powerful and highly paid politicians in the entire state of California. This presents a clear conflict of interest for every member of our @LACountyBOS, which is why I made a pledge not to run for the position. I'm calling on my colleagues to do the same.

Sorry pal, your "team" had their chance and have failed. It's time to try something different.
We’re working to solve California’s housing crisis. It was a pleasure to join Assemblymember @BuffyWicks, labor, local elected officials, and community members who are turning this site in El Cerrito into housing: public land next to a BART station, a 100% affordable building, homes built in a factory, and union labor on the job. It’s the first phase of a plan to turn BART parking lots into 743 homes. This is what building housing the right way looks like. Every Californian deserves a home they can afford, close to where they work.

Yes, let's end the left's failed madness.
California Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton unveiled a plan Saturday to clear every homeless encampment in the state by the end of 2027, proposing a network of recovery centers, stricter enforcement of public camping bans and state intervention in communities that fail to act. ktla.com/news/california-pol…
