May 12, 2025 - SACRAMENTO, CA - On Monday, Steve Hilton, candidate for Governor of California released the following:
California Congressman Tom McClintock, one of the state’s most respected leaders, has officially endorsed Steve Hilton for Governor of California.

“Not since Hiram Johnson rallied Californians to break the corrupt political establishment of his day have we had a leader who can make the case for change more forcefully, eloquently, and compellingly than STEVE HILTON."
McClintock praised Hilton’s commitment to the foundational values that once made California the land of opportunity and could again under bold, practical leadership:
“The policies of freedom that Steve Hilton stands for are exactly what we need to restore the prosperity of our people and the quality of life for our families.”

Hilton, a policy innovator, entrepreneur, and former senior advisor in the UK government, is running on a bold vision to restore what's been lost, with Great Jobs, Great Homes, and Great Kids. His campaign is focused on commonsense reforms to reduce the cost of living, fix broken institutions, and end the failures of one-party rule in Sacramento.
"It is a huge honor to have Tom's support. I have learned so much from him over the years. He is such a respected leader in our state and a fantastic champion for everything that is great about California. I am proud to stand with him in the fight to restore the California Dream for everyone and make our state truly 'Golden Again.'"
