Steve Hilton Says June 2 Races Show Revolt Against California's 16-Year One-Party Rule

June 2 primaries are becoming a test of anti-establishment sentiment in California, with GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton saying his campaign and Spencer Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral bid reflect growing demand for political outsiders.
Hilton tied that mood to 16 years of Democratic control in Sacramento and frustration over homelessness, crime and government performance, arguing voters are ready to “shake up” a system he says is failing.
Spencer Pratt’s insurgent mayoral run has gained traction in Los Angeles, where he is challenging Karen Bass as an independent backed by Donald Trump after losing his home in wildfires that destroyed more than 17,000 homes in the county.
Polling in the governor’s race shows Hilton competing with Democrat Xavier Becerra for the top spot in the nonpartisan primary, with Tom Steyer, Katie Porter and Chad Bianco among the other contenders for the top-two runoff.
