Billionaire and climate change activist Tom Steyer is throwing his hat in the ring to become the next California governor.

With Porter dropping in the polls, Riverside County Sheriff and Republican Chad Bianco has moved into first place with 13% support, up from 10% in August. Swatt said the shift reflects gradual Republican gains in California.

Steyer, a Democratic donor who ran for president in 2020, announced on Wednesday he is running for governor in California.

Tom Steyer threw his hat into the ring in California's gubernatorial race, joining the crowd of candidates vying to succeed current Gov. Gavin Newsom.

A Post review of public records did not show the 45-year-old Democratic congressman currently owning any property in California.

The latest poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies showed, while 44% of the registered voters in California were undecided, 8% of them said they would support Becerra, after Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco (13%) and Katie Porter (11%). Villaraigosa was trailing in the fifth place with 5% of support as of late October.

The leading candidates for governor share their views on complex and often misunderstood aspects of California's sanctuary state law.

Federal prosecutors allege that Williamson, former Becerra chief of staff Sean McCluskie and Sacramento lobbyist Greg Campbell illegally diverted money to McCluskie’s wife, funneling the loot through shell companies for bogus consulting services.
