DEC. 15, 2025 UPDATE: Now someone else is saying it. Politico, the Big Media arm of the Democrat Party, writing about the 2026 California governor’s race, says, “California Democrats have a math problem: They’ve added so many candidates in the race to succeed Gavin Newsom that two Republicans could end up winning the state’s quirky ‘jungle primary,’ shutting the Democrats out.”
NOV. 21, 2025 UPDATE: And now with Democrat Party congressman Eric Swalwell of San Francisco’s East Bay area declaring he’s running for governor too, we’ve again updated our hypothethical mathematical scenario below. Swalwell will further splinter Democrat Party voters.
NOV. 20, 2025 UPDATE: With the entrance into the governor’s race of leftist billionaire Tom Steyer, the odds of winning the “top two” of the June 2, 2026 “jungle primary” election have mathematically increased for mostly-conservative Republicans Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton. We’ve added Steyer to the hypothetical calculation below. The deadline to declare one’s candidacy for California governor is next March.
* * * * *
Remember this hard-and-fast rule about California’s “jungle primary”: The “top two vote-getters” of any party are the two winners that advance to the November runoff.
Approved by California voters in June 2010, Proposition 14 requires, “All candidates for a given state or congressional office shall be listed on a single primary ballot. The top two candidates, as determined by the voters in an open primary, shall advance to a general election.”
Now for the big question — could both “primary election” winners be Republicans, guaranteeing a Republican governor? It’s a valid scenario.
In recent polling, Republican candidates for governor Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton have shot to the top:
· 11/7/25 Berkeley IGS poll of 8,141 registered voters: Bianco 13%, Porter 11%, Hilton 8%
· 10/24/25 Emerson College poll of 900 likely voters: Hilton 16%, Porter 15%, Bianco 11%
Why are Republicans scoring so high in liberal California? Let’s do the math, based on California’s 2024 presidential election results (giving Republican, American Independent, and Libertarian party candidates nearly 40% of the vote, and Democrat and other leftist party candidates nearly 60%):
If mostly-conservative Republicans Bianco and Hilton split 40% of the vote, and six Democrats split nearly 60%, the top two voter-getters will be Bianco and Hilton, guaranteeing a Republican governor.
Here’s this hypothetical scenario calculated by SaveCalifornia.com:
21% Steve Hilton (R)
19% Chad Bianco (R)
– – – – –
11% Xavier Becerra (D)
10% Katie Porter (D)
9% Tom Steyer (D)
8% Tony Thurmond (D)
8% Betty Yee (D)
5% Antonio Villaraigosa (D)
4% Eric Swalwell (D)
2% Ian Calderon (D)
3% other
(Former Democrat Party candidates Eleni Kounalakis and Toni Atkins have dropped out)
So if you’re a conservative, don’t fight over Bianco and Hilton — yet. Because a conservative Republican victory is only ensured if both men win California’s June 2, 2026 primary election.
“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.”

UPDATE August 30, 2025: We’ve added several new links at the end of this post to inform and equip you to leave your union behind for good!
UPDATE August 31, 2025: And see how bloated government union pensions are harming average citizens.
Original September 2, 2024 post:
Have you considered why California has such bad government? There are powerful forces supporting the New Communist Democrats, who are now three-fourths of both houses of the State Legislature, and who control all the statewide constitutional offices.
Yet the evil forces leading here aren’t the “useful idiots” (foolish voters dumbed down by the “public” schools, illegal aliens, self-centered government employees, etc.).
No, the wealthy, influential entities sustaining the iron-fisted rule of New Communist Democrats in California are both government unions and private unions. Don’t believe it? See how unions fund the Democrat Party Machine:
- As reported in late 2023: “Democrats and their causes receive 95.7% of the cash from unions’ political action committees. In 2021-22 the Big Four gave more than $29 million to the SEIU’s United We Can super PAC and the NEA Advocacy Fund super PAC which support federal candidates for office. Another $16 million went to wealthy climate crusader Tom Steyer’s leftwing For Our Future Pac. Some $3 million went to Fair Share Massachusetts which supports a state wealth tax.
“Big money also flows at the state level, where public unions all but run many state capitals. In 2021-2022, the four largest government unions spent $27.9 million in Illinois, $24.9 million in California, $13.2 million in Minnesota and $12.1 million in Pennsylvania.
“Nearly 60% of unions’ annual political spending, or some $400 million, came from membership dues and about 40% came from unions’ political action committees for which workers make voluntary contributions for politics. While unions can’t send dues money directly to candidates, workers might be surprised to see their paycheck deductions funneled to outside groups that spend money on politics (including those that deploy the money out of state).”
- As reported in 2021 after Gavin Newsom “won” his recall election, “Organized labor donated at least $25.7 million — or more than one-third of the total the governor raised to keep his job. Unions, of course, have deep ties to the Democratic Party and a stake in nearly every aspect of state government.”
Because of how unions and their “owned politicians” put deceptive tax hikes on the ballot, and since union bosses regularly spend union dues to elect and re-elect corrupt Democrat Party politicians, if you’re a union member, please resign from your union.
You have the legal right to do so, while keeping your job, benefits, and more of your own money. Here’s how government employees can get out and how private sector employees can stop funding the beast.
Remember, you have strong, fundamental free-speech rights to not be coerced into supporting objectionable union politics. Now that you’ve unpeeled the onion and found the rotten core, will you stop “feeding” the beast?

The biblical view of man is work-oriented. It affirms that man was placed on the earth to subdue it to the glory of God (Gen. 1:28; 9:1-7). It is not each man’s right to work. It is his duty to work. What is his lawful right is his right to compete for the job he wants, his right to compete for the labor services he wishes to purchase. No one has a right to my job, including me. Anyone should have the right to compete for my job, including me. And I have the right to compete for his.

You want fair and just elections, meaning you can’t vote twice in the same election. And you want constitutional elections, where only U.S. citizens may vote.
We need this nationwide — and there are 3 current efforts worth supporting:
1. President Trump: No illegals to be counted in the 2030 census
2. U.S. Supreme Court: Will hear case challenging race-based districts
3. U.S. Congress: Kevin Kiley’s bill prohibiting redistricting beyond Census years (this would stop Texas and California and all other states from drawing new district boundaries more than once per decade)
Regarding #3, here’s how you can urge your own U.S. House of Representatives member to support H.R. 4889 to “To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment.” Find your House member, then call or email their Washington, D.C. and local offices.)
This is much better than the Republican state of Texas attempting to redraw legislative and congressional district lines (an effort that is moral and constitutional, to eliminate race-based districts), with the resultant rivalry of California and other Democrat-Party-controlled states threatening to redistrict for raw political power to try to regain control of the U.S. House.
As I wrote on July 26, at the start of this controversy:
“The Democrat Party governors of CA, IL, NY, and NJ are scheming for an unconstitutional POWER PLAY — special legislative sessions to gerrymander (unfairly redraw) additional Democrat Party districts to take over the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026. They say they’re only reacting to the Texas Legislature. However, the Texas redistricting plan is BASED ON PRINCIPLE to correct blatantly unconstitutional, racially-based gerrymandering from the past.”
“But to put a stop to the Democrat Party governors’ so-called “justified” power grabs, Texas Republicans should abandon their effort, and wait for the Trump Administration to pursue a U.S. Supreme Court decision prohibiting racially-drawn congressional districts nationwide.”
SaveCalifornia.com’s strategy is not wimpy, but wise. For instead of provoking Democrats to win back the U.S. House of Representatives, it would be much better to ban race-based districts nationwide via a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which would positively impact all 50 states.
Meanwhile, President Trump banning illegals from the upcoming census estimating local populations of U.S. House districts could result in Democrat Party politicians losing between 20 and 30 House seats.

Bottom line, this is the time to fight for election integrity — so get energized and fight for it!
Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight.
