One day after California’s Democratic party urged candidates without a “viable path” in the state’s crucial race for governor to drop out,
the crowded field showed no sign of winnowing down.At least nine Democrats are in the running to replace the outgoing governor, Gavin Newsom,
with no clear frontrunner,
💥which has fueled fears that the number of candidates could lead to two Republicans advancing to the November election.Rusty Hicks, the chair of California’s Democratic party, warned in an open letter on Tuesday about that “unlikely” but “possible” scenario and called on candidates to
“act in a responsible manner with the opportunities and support we have earned”.He advised candidates not to run in the primary if they don’t have a path to reach the general election,
and said they should be prepared to suspend their campaigns within the next month if they hadn’t made “meaningful progress” toward a primary win.The packed field of Democratic candidates includes
former secretary of health and human services and state attorney general Xavier #Becerra;
former state lawmaker Ian Calderon; San Jose’s mayor, Matt #Mahan;
former congresswoman Katie #Porter;
billionaire environmental activist Tom #Steyer;
the Congress member Eric #Swalwell;
the state schools superintendent, Tony #Thurmond;
former mayor of Los Angeles Antonio #Villaraigosa;
and former state controller Betty #Yee.The Republican candidates include
Chad #Bianco, the Riverside county sheriff,
and the conservative political commentator Steve #Hilton.The nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found the race had split into two distinct groups,
with polling indicating Hilton, Porter, Bianco, Swalwell and Steyer are in close competition,
while the other candidates trail behind

A new tech-friendly governor?
The California governor’s race has been a crowded field without notable frontrunners.
#Newsom had been a long-time friend of the tech industry, hosting Google’s #Page and #Brin as guests at his wedding
and referring to Salesforce chief executive Marc #Benioff as “family”.
His departure appears to have Silicon Valley fretting.#Singleton, from the Chamber of Progress, said Newsom had long recognized “how pivotal the technology industry is in California”.
But then, late last month, Matt #Mahan, a moderate Democrat and the mayor of San Jose, announced his candidacy.
Before Mahan got involved in politics in 2020, he had a career in the tech sector.
He was an undergraduate at Harvard with Zuckerberg,
and in 2014 co-founded a startup with funding from #Conway, #Benioff and Napster co-founder Sean #Parker.Mahan appears to be the savior the tech industry had been searching for.
Since his candidacy announcement just two weeks ago,
⚠️millions have poured into his campaign.According to public records, he’s received donations from several venture capitalists,
along with Roblox CEO David #Baszucki, Y Combinator CEO Garry #Tan, GitHub co-founder Chris #Wanstrath, Cloudkitchen co-founder Diego #Berdakin, and Ring founder #Siminoff.Mahan has even courted donors who helped launch companies known for working with the Trump administration,
including Palantir co-founder Joe #Lonsdale and Anduril co-founder Matt #Grimm and his wife Kimberly Grimm, according to public records.Google’s #Brin has also backed Mahan, maxing out the limit for an individual campaign donation at $78,400.
Several of Mahan’s other tech backers also maxed out their donations.
🔥At this point, Mahan has now raised more than double the two most prominent democrats in the race, ⭐️Eric Swalwell
and ⭐️Katie Porter.As political races and ballot measure campaigns continue to heat up across California in 2026, tech’s influence is only expected to grow.
“It’s going to be a fun session,” Singleton said. That’s for sure.”
