Steve Hilton California governor campaign
Entities: Lineage Logistics · Boyle Heights · Xavier Becerra · California · Steve Hilton
Overview
Steve Hilton, a Trump‑endorsed Republican and former Fox News host, officially launched his bid for California governor on 22 July 2026. At a Boyle Heights auto‑body shop, he presented a full‑page advertisement aimed at anti‑Trump voters dissatisfied with the state’s direction, emphasizing issues such as gas prices, electricity costs, taxes and housing affordability while criticizing Governor Gavin Newsom.
A week later, Hilton’s campaign shifted to a more confrontational tone, releasing a three‑minute video that accused Democratic nominee Xavier Becerra of overseeing a container‑site placement of over 200 migrant children during his tenure as HHS secretary. Hilton framed the incident as a cover‑up and positioned immigration policy as a central theme in the November gubernatorial race.
