Attacks on Steyer’s business record are being funded by PG&E and Chevron
THE FACTS
Special Interests are spending a combined $23 million in independent expenditures AGAINST Tom Steyer running misleading ads on his record, including:
- $10,000,000 from PG&E via Californians for Resilient and Affordable Energy
- $7,000,000 from the California Association Of Realtors
- $5,000,000 from JobsPAC via the California Chamber of Commerce
- $1,000,000 from the California Building Industry Association
Farallon divested from private prisons twenty years ago.
Steyer completely walked away from Farallon over 13 years ago and divested his holdings from any stocks connected to fossil fuels and private prisons and companies that did not align with his values.
Since 2013, Steyer has spent $485 million on climate related advocacy and electoral spending to groups such as NextGen America and the League of Conservation Voters.
Steyer has also fought for criminal justice reform. Tom pledged $1.7 million to back a 2016 California ballot proposition that curbed prison overcrowding and helped pass a 2018 bill in the California Senate to eliminate cash bail in the state through NexGen.
