In light of California’s “jungle primary,” is splitting the votes of conservatives good or bad, and what are the chances of a mostly-conservative Republican being on the November 2026 ballot or being elected governor?
To answer, mostly-conservative Republican Steve Hilton’s entrance into the 2026 California governor’s race has immediately split the conservative vote between him and mostly-conservative Republican Chad Bianco.
If Hilton had not declared his candidacy, Bianco would have been virtually assured of being the highest or second-highest vote-getter in the primary.
Still, in the hypothetical scenarios I’ve been crunching, it’s plausible that a Republican could be one of “the top two” in the primary election, and if Kamala Harris doesn’t jump in, there’s even a path for either Bianco and Hilton to become governor.
Here are the “bigger” declared candidates, so far, in alphabetical order who want to replace Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s termed out:
Democrats: Toni Atkins, former State Senate leader, former State Assembly leader Xavier Becerra, former U.S. congressman, former State Attorney General, and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Eleni Kounalakis, current Lieutenant Governor Katie Porter, former U.S. congresswoman Tony Thurmond, former state assemblyman and current State Superintendent of Public Instruction Antonio Villaraigosa, former state assemblyman, former mayor of Los Angeles Betty Yee, current State Controller
Republicans: Chad Bianco, current sheriff of Riverside County Steve Hilton, media voice, former tech start-up founder, former U.K. government advisor
SCENARIO 1: Two Democrats win “the top two” slots of the June 2026 primary election (two really work hard at the expense of the other Dems), so both Democrats advance to the November election, and a Democrat will again become governor:
SCENARIO 3: 1 Democrat + 1 Republican win “the top two.” Here, the biggest Democrat, Kamala Harris, enters the race and “sucks all the oxygen out” of the other Democrats.
If Harris enters the race, expect up to 5 Democrats to drop out (Atkins, Kounalakis, Porter, Thurmond, and Yee). Also expect Harris to be puffed and promoted by California’s New Communist machinery. This scenario means a Republican will be on the November ballot.
SCENARIO 4: Two Republicanswin “the top two” (if Big Democrat Kamala Harris doesn’t jump in, Democrats might simply split into 7 portions that are smaller than the 2 Republican portions), meaning there will be a Republican governor:
I’ve provided these 4 scenarios to give you hope. In 3 of the 4, a Republican (either Bianco or Hilton, both mostly-conservatives) advances to the general election. Let this energize you to support the candidate who best represents your values!
“Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.” Advice of Moses’ father-in-law Jethro in Exodus 18:21
As the April 15 tax return deadline approaches, be glad that DOGE is exposing waste and fraud in California! This is much-needed proof that the ruling Democrat Party politicians led by Newsom & Co. are OK with fraud.
This latest discovery about the waste and fraud within Newsom’s EDD (Employment Development Department) should convince every reasonable Californian to:
1) Never again think government needs more of your money 2) Always vote NO on tax increases, tax extensions, and bonds (all deceptive money grabs by wasteful state and local governments)
After finding $382 million in fraudulent unemployment payments since 2020, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) identified California, New York and Massachusetts as the primary culprits.
The three Democrat-led states accounted for $305 million in improper claim payments, DOGE said Thursday.
The group added that California also accounted for 68% of the benefits that were dispensed under former President Joe Biden to parolees identified by federal authorities as being on the government’s terrorist watchlist, or who had criminal records.
California, New York and Massachusetts all have a Democratic trifecta — meaning Democrats control the state House, Senate and the governor’s office. They also have a Democratic triplex, which includes party control of the Attorney General, Secretary of State and governorship.
An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed the following:
– 24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits
– 28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits
– 9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits
In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k.
California, New York, and Massachusetts accounted for most of these improper claims, totaling $305M in unemployment benefits.
Additionally, California accounted for 68% of the unemployment benefits paid to parolees identified by CBP on the terrorist watchlist or with criminal records.
And like DOGE, SaveCalifornia.com has been working here in 2025 to expose the THEFT committed by Democrat Party politicians and their allies (union bosses, establishment bureaucrats, and RINOs).

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.” Attributed to Scottish judge/professor/historian Alexander Fraser Tytler (1747-1813)
And it’s why, starting in 2030, to graduate from California “public” high school, you must suffer through racist “ethnic studies.”
Signed in 2021 by Gov. Gavin Newsom, AB 101 requires children in government-controlled schools (“pupils graduating in the 2029–30 school year, including for pupils enrolled in a charter school”) to complete “a one-semester course in ethnic studies.”
What will the “ethnic studies” curriculum approved by the Democrat-Party-controlled California Department of Education teach impressionable children?
As the private Hoover Institution, which promotes personal and economic liberty, free enterprise, and limited government, explains:
“The curriculum continues to be founded on critical race theory (CRT), which is the view that our legal, economic, and social institutions are inherently racist and are exploited by some Whites to retain their dominance by oppressing and marginalizing others. The CRT-focused curriculum will foster divisions among students and will almost certainly not improve learning outcomes, as advertised by its proponents.”
This year’s race-baiting bills, AB 1468 and SB 510, which destroy individual merit, personal responsibility, and the American ideal of equal justice under law, are co-authored by dozens of Democrats in the State Legislature.
How different from Creator God, Who commands us to measure applicants and employees by individual aptitude and performance, not by race, which dehumanizes everyone.
What kind of society do you want? One that’s colorblind and based on individual merit and personal responsibility? Or one that’s racist and based on irresponsibility, covetousness, and groupism? You must choose one, since these two scenarios are an oxymoron and cannot coexist.
