Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is not holding back when it comes to calling out Governor Gavin Newsom’s failed policies. On Friday’s Newsline, Hilton slammed Newsom for rejecting federal help to fight California’s exploding crime problem. This is exactly the kind of straight talk Californians need to hear from their leaders.
Newsom’s refusal to accept federal law enforcement assistance shows just how out of touch he really is with regular Californians. While families fear for their safety and businesses get robbed blind, Newsom plays political games. He cares more about his liberal agenda than protecting the people who pay his salary.
California has become a playground for criminals under Newsom’s watch. Shoplifting is basically legal, homeless camps destroy neighborhoods, and drug dealers run wild in our streets. Yet when President Trump offers to send help, Newsom says no thanks.
Steve Hilton brings real experience to this fight. The former Fox News host and British political advisor knows how to get things done. He helped run successful campaigns overseas and understands what it takes to fix broken government systems.
Democrats have turned the Golden State into a total disaster. High taxes drive out businesses while crime drives out families. Liberal policies have made California unaffordable for working people while protecting criminals and illegal immigrants.
Hilton’s new book “Califailure” tells the hard truth about what Democrats have done to our state. He offers real solutions instead of more empty promises. His campaign is gaining momentum because voters are sick of the same old liberal failures.
Recent polls show Hilton running second in the race to replace Newsom. While Democrat Katie Porter leads with 18 percent, Hilton sits at 12 percent with room to grow. Many voters remain undecided and are looking for real change.
California needs a governor who will put Americans first and criminals last. Steve Hilton has the guts to tell Newsom the truth and the backbone to clean up this mess. It’s time for conservatives to unite behind a candidate who will actually fight for us.
