To the Democrats and Independents who still believe in the promise of California: The Sacramento machine has made this state unlivable—the highest gas, housing, and electricity prices in the nation. I came to this state because I believed in the ladder of opportunity for working people. That's not what California is today. This isn't about party. It’s about practical solutions, cutting costs, and restoring that promise. The corrupt Machine has had its chance. California isn’t working. Time to throw out the insiders.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican. This election is about voting for what is RIGHT. And Xavier Becerra is WRONG on so many levels!

Xavier Becerra said he will tax Californians for every mile they drive. He wants to charge you more money just to drive. Xavier Becerra will increase the gas tax, increase car registration costs, and now charge a tax for every mile you drive 🤯 On the other hand, I will bring gas prices down. I will cap car registration at $73. I want to save you money and make life better for Californians. Who are you voting for, California?

I know for a fact that Mark Zuckerberg and senior executives at Meta think Becerra would be a disaster for California's business climate and economy. But they just gave Becerra $1 million anyway. This is the level of corruption in California after 16 years of one party rule. Corporations forced to pay protection money to a ruthless, cynical self-serving ruling elite that has ruined the most amazing state in America, and with another four years of unchecked power might possibly drive California's economy off the cliff. The business exodus of recent years could turn into a stampede. We already have the highest unemployment rate, highest poverty rate and highest cost of living in America. You think it couldn't get worse? You haven't met Xavier Becerra. He is a 36 year career politician, a complete nonentity who has never had a real job in his life, has lived entirely off the taxpayer, whose record in government was so atrocious that he was considered the most incompetent member of the BIDEN cabinet, and who was the Democrats' fifth choice for their governor candidate. He has not put forward a single actual policy solution in this entire campaign. He has in fact run no campaign at all. He is treating Californians with complete arrogance and contempt, not even pretending to try and earn their vote. He smugly assumes that the corrupt California machine - government unions, trial lawyers, Big Business - will put him in office with the $$$ they are spending on TV ads. Now Mark Zuckerberg has joined in, presumably hoping to buy some Meta carve-outs from the continued anti-business onslaught that would come from another four years of one party rule. Well if that does happen, @finkd, the sad thing is that your business may be one of the few that can continue to operate here, and you may be one of the few that can afford to live here! The good news is that most people haven't voted yet and there is still time to bring some balance and common sense to our government, to improve the business climate, lower the cost of living and avert the disaster of four more years of unchecked Democrat rule. $3.00 gas / First $150k Tax Free / $73 Vehicle Registration / End Mass Homelessness Vote for change, not more of the same. Just Try It! nypost.com/2026/10/29/busine…

If you’re commuting in California like @ZavalaA , you should be paying a tax for EVERY mile you drive. We’re simply not collecting enough from you in gas taxes and car registration fees. That’s why we need a mileage tax ON TOP of everything else. There’s a lot of work to be done in California, like high-speed rail. And high-speed rail isn’t going to build itself!

Xavier Becerra will make life even more difficult for Californians. Californians are already paying thousands of dollars in gas taxes, car registration fees, and other expenses just to get to work and back. Now, he wants to tax us for every mile we drive. How much more are hardworking Californians supposed to pay?
A mileage tax in California? Xavier Becerra says he would consider it, "everything should be on the table" to maintain roads and bridges. "Do I want to tax people more than necessary? No.. Should people who drive EVs who don't need gas pay for those roads? Absolutely."

Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni stopped by our $3 gas event in Fresno today to explain why affordable gas MATTERS for public safety. ✊ Our officers drive THOUSANDS of miles every day to keep our communities safe. When Sacramento's sky-high gas prices drain department budgets, that's money NOT going to hiring more officers. Cut the cost of gas and you free up resources to protect Californians, in Fresno and all across our beautiful state. $3 gas isn't just about saving families money. It's about backing the incredible men and women of law enforcement so they can do their jobs. Just Try It!

The Democrats who endlessly lecture us about compassion are standing by while dogs suffer on Skid Row and illegal breeders churn out puppies to pay for drug habits. A civilized society DOESN’T let this happen. As governor I’ll enforce the law, crack down on illegal breeding, and fix our no-kill policies so these dogs end up in loving homes. Vote for CHANGE by November 3rd. Just Try It! ❤️🐶

I met Margaret at our $3 gas event in Fresno. She's a grandmother and a widow who spends much of her time driving her grandkids around. With gas prices so high, even spending time with family is becoming a financial struggle. She needs RELIEF, not Becerra's $1,000 mileage tax. I'll save you $2,856 a year on driving costs. Vote now!

🚨🚨 DHS INVESTIGATION: Migrant children raped 600-700 times. Becerra enabled this. He dismantled checks supposed to make sure the 450,000 migrant kids in his "care" were sent to loving homes. Instead they were sent to child sex and labor traffickers. DISQUALIFYING.

What do you think of Becerra? “I don’t” 🤣 because no one has even seen him since running for governor! Vote for a leader! Vote for a governor who is going to show up! Vote for Hilton!

We brought $3 GAS to Sanger! And we told voters about Becerra's $1000 mileage tax, where you're tracked by GPS and taxed per mile. Becerra will invade your privacy AND charge you more for it! With me, you'll get $3 gas, $73 car registration, and NO mileage tax. VOTE!
