For those not aware!

California is too expensive, and people are tired of excuses.

Rent is too high. Gas is too high. Electric bills are too high. Insurance keeps getting worse. Buying a home feels impossible for too many families.

This governor’s race should come down to one question:

Who is actually willing to take on the people making California unaffordable?

Xavier Becerra has experience. He has been in Congress, served as California attorney general, and worked in Washington. That is a real résumé.

But experience does not mean much if people are still struggling to afford life in California.

Becerra feels like the establishment choice at a time when a lot of Californians feel the system is no longer working for them.

And people are paying attention to where the money is coming from. While Californians are struggling with high gas prices, Becerra’s campaign accepted money from Chevron, one of the biggest oil companies in the state. He also opposed California’s proposed billionaire tax while talking about making California more affordable. That combination raises real questions about whose side Sacramento is really on.

Tom Steyer is offering a clearer fight.

He wants to go after oil-company profits, investigate price gouging, and return money to Californians when companies overcharge people.

He wants to cut electric bills by taking on utility monopolies.

He wants to build more housing, use public land, and treat the housing crisis like the emergency it is.

He also wants big corporations and billionaires to pay more instead of regular people getting stuck with the bill.

And yes, Steyer is a billionaire. But there is a difference between protecting wealth and being willing to challenge the system that protects it. Steyer openly supports higher taxes on billionaires and corporations, including people like himself.

Most of all, he is willing to challenge the corporations, monopolies, and political insiders who keep making California harder to afford.

California does not need more polished speeches.

California needs lower bills, more homes, and leaders willing to stand up to powerful interests.

Right now, Tom Steyer is the candidate making that fight the center of his campaign.
