Tom Steyer for Governor of California

Californians deserve a life they can afford.

California is too expensive, and the problem won’t be solved by the same politicians who got us here. Tom Steyer knows what it will take to lower costs, and has a history of delivering results for California — even when the real politicians couldn’t get it done.

What We're Fighting For

California’s housing and utility costs are skyrocketing. Our public schools have been lagging behind for too long. And our politics are dominated by corporate and special interests.

What Californians care about are results, and who’s going to be able to deliver when it comes to lowering costs.

Tom has a record of delivering results for California, especially when the real politicians couldn’t.

As governor, Tom will:

Make corporations pay their fair share, and put that money into our public schools to make California a top ten state for education.
Launch the largest effort in state history to build homes that California families can actually afford, and break up the utility monopolies to lower electric bills by 25%.
Ban corporate PAC money from California elections so that government serves the people, not special interests.

Meet Tom

Tom Steyer is running for Governor of California because Californians can no longer afford to live here. This state doesn’t work when a few people do unbelievably well, and everyone else does poorly – no matter how many billion-dollar companies we have, or how many new technologies we invent.

Almost 15 years ago, Tom walked away from the successful business he founded, and from billions of dollars, to devote his life to public service.

He was among the first to sign The Giving Pledge — a commitment to give away the vast majority of his money during his lifetime.

He led ballot proposition campaigns to defeat Big Oil on climate, closed a corporate tax loophole for out-of-state companies, and took on Big Tobacco to raise the cigarette tax. Steyer raised billions of dollars for California’s healthcare and public schools – without Californians having to pay a cent.
