Steyer for Governor 2026

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.
