英国前政策顾问、Fox新闻主持人史蒂夫·希尔顿作为共和党候选人参加加州州长选举，与民主党对手泽维尔·贝塞拉竞争1。尽管面临巨大劣势，希尔顿仍表示"当然我是黑马，当然这场仗很艰巨，但我看到了一条狭窄但真实的胜利之路"1。
根据民调，贝塞拉领先希尔顿20个百分点以上，独立选民中也倾向贝塞拉约20个百分点1。希尔顿在此前的初选中获得近25%的选票，在拥挤的初选中排名第二1。加州民主党注册人数是共和党的两倍，这使得共和党候选人的选举环境更加困难1。希尔顿提出了一系列激进政策主张，包括废除机动车管理部门、降低汽油价格、建设新城市等，同时承诺在第一个$150,000收入上消除州税1。共和党与特朗普的关联在加州政治环境中极具毒性，这给包括希尔顿在内的共和党候选人造成了沉重压力1。两位候选人定于周三进行辩论1。
Steve Hilton, a British-born former political adviser and Fox News host, is running as a Republican candidate for California governor against Democrat Xavier Becerra. 1 Hilton secured nearly 25 percent of the vote in the primary election, placing second in a crowded field. 1 However, polls show Becerra leading by more than 20 percentage points, with independent voters also favoring Becerra by approximately the same margin. 1
Despite the substantial deficit, Hilton remains committed to his campaign and has outlined an aggressive policy platform. 1 His proposals include eliminating the state's Department of Motor Vehicles, lowering gasoline prices, and constructing new cities. 1 He has also pledged to eliminate state income taxes on the first $150,000 of earnings. 1 "Of course I'm the underdog. Of course it's an uphill battle. I see a narrow but real path to victory," Hilton stated. 1
The Republican candidate faces a challenging political environment in California, where Democratic voter registration outnumbers Republican registration by a two-to-one margin. 1 The association between Republicans and former President Trump has proven particularly damaging in the state's political landscape, affecting Republican candidates including Hilton. 1 The two candidates are scheduled to debate on Wednesday. 1
