The Left can’t believe it. They didn’t expect this to happen.
And Democrats are paralyzed with fear thanks to what this Republican has done.
In the battle to reclaim California from years of disastrous Democrat control, one Republican candidate is surging ahead.
Steve Hilton, the Republican candidate in the 2026 gubernatorial race, has crushed the competition in fundraising over the last six months, pulling in more than $4 million during that stretch alone.
Hilton’s campaign has racked up a total of $5.7 million, dwarfing what most of his Democratic rivals have managed—except for self-funding billionaire Tom Steyer, who is essentially buying his way into the conversation.
“We are leading this race and building a grassroots political revolution,” Hilton said in a post on X.
“We will keep fighting to kick out the failed, corrupt Democrat machine and save California!”
That message is resonating. Per Hilton’s campaign, more than 30,000 individual donors have stepped up to back him, proving that everyday Californians are fed up and ready to fight back.
Hilton even put his own money where his mouth is, loaning $100,000 to his campaign, as reported by POLITICO.
That’s the kind of personal commitment patriots respect—not the empty promises of career politicians who have wrecked the state.
A former Fox News contributor and a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2021, Hilton brings a fresh perspective to the fight.
After years of watching one-party Democrat rule drive businesses out, explode homelessness, and make streets unsafe, he’s stepping up to turn the tide.
California used to be the land of dreams, where hard work paid off and families could thrive. Now, thanks to radical leftist policies, it’s the state with the highest cost of living, crushing taxes, failing schools, and open-air drug markets. Hilton’s campaign is laser-focused on fixing that mess.
Democrats have had their chance for far too long, and the results speak for themselves: power blackouts, water shortages, businesses fleeing, and families struggling to make ends meet.
Hilton’s surge in support proves voters are waking up and demanding real change.
His path forward relies on building an army of everyday Americans who refuse to let California fall further. With this kind of momentum, he’s positioning himself as the change candidate who can actually win in 2026.
The contrast couldn’t be clearer. While Democrats rely on insider networks and self-funded vanity projects, Hilton is powered by the people. Over 30,000 donors mean real enthusiasm from across the state.
This fundraising haul puts Hilton in the driver’s seat early. It gives him the resources to spread his message, organize volunteers, and challenge the Democrat machine head-on.
In a state where Republicans have been written off for too long, this kind of support sends a loud message: the tide is turning.
The fight to save California is on, and Steve Hilton is leading the charge.
