In todays lunacy, could this happen? Could anything unheard of happen? Did anyone really think the "TERMINATOR" could happen? Did any of you a year ago really even think a RECALL could happen? Looking at todays political playing field, I will say Jenner knows how to take a field a win GOLD. Make California the Golden State again..... (This is not an endorsement!)
I think ya'll will have fun with this one.....
Caitlyn Jenner makes it official for California governor
Former Olympic decathlete and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner has filed her initial paperwork to run for governor of California and will officially announce her bid later today, her campaign tells Axios.
The big picture: Jenner, a longtime Republican, is seeking to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in a recall election, hoping her celebrity status and name recognition can yield an upset in the nation's most populous state.
But in deep-blue California, she's decidedly not branding herself as a Trump Republican even as she's counting on some of the former president's advisers to drive her strategy.
She's assembled a team of prominent GOP operatives including Tony Fabrizio, the top pollster on Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns, Ryan Erwin, founder of RedRock Strategies, and Tyler Deaton, president of Allegiance Strategies.
She's also hired Steven Cheung, a former Trump White House and campaign communications hand who worked on Arnold Schwarzenegger's successful 2003 recall campaign.
Trump's former campaign manager Brad Parscale, a personal friend of Jenner’s, has helped her assemble her team but doesn’t plan to take an official title on the campaign.
The campaign's website and WinRed donation page are set to go live today.
Jenner said in a statement that "Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision" and that "for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people."
The statement decries California's taxes as "too high" and criticizes an "over-restrictive lockdown" response to the COVID pandemic including on in-person schooling.
"This is Gavin Newsom’s California, where he orders us to stay home but goes out to dinner with his lobbyist friends."
A campaign adviser tells Axios that Jenner has greater name ID than Newsom and can command the kind of earned media that "will go to every possible demographic you could think of."
Jenner, a trans woman, "is very socially liberal,” the adviser said. "She's running as someone that's socially liberal and fiscally conservative."
