Steve Hilton, the Republican candidate for governor of California, tells Clay & Buck that he’s feeling good about his chances, as the Democratic-run state looks for someone who will turn away from the failures of Gavin Newsom.

🚨 Gavin Newsom’s “Broadband for All” program was supposed to deliver internet access to millions of Californians.

$2.2 billion later, it’s connected just ONE underserved community…and they already had broadband to begin with!

As governor, I’ll CANCEL these bloated, never-ending projects—from high-speed internet to high-speed rail—and give taxpayers their money back with a tax cut: Your First $150K Tax Free.
