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!

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)

If Republican state legislators were trustworthy protectors, it wouldn’t be like this.
So after two Republicans foolishly voted yes in committee for the major sexual indoctrination bill AB 86, SaveCalifornia.com sprang into action.
The good news is one of them, freshman Leticia Castillo of western Riverside County, was “educated” by numerous phone calls from our active SaveCalifornia.com followers on March 15-17.
So on March 18, Castillo announced she will oppose AB 86 and ask other Republicans to oppose it too.
Please leave Leticia Castillo a brief message at 916-319-2058, saying, “I’m glad the assemblywoman has announced her opposition to the major sexual indoctrination bill, AB 86. I look forward to her speaking on the floor and getting other Republicans to speak too!”
TAKE QUICK ACTION
So far, only 1 of 20 Republican assemblymembers have announced opposition to AB 86. You can help us get 20 of 20!
If your own California state assemblymember is a Republican, please also call him or her, saying, “Oppose AB 86, which pushes more sexual indoctrination on children as young as kindergarten. In the bill, the ‘health curriculum framework’ adopted in 2019 by the State Board of Education is the massive sexual indoctrination of AB 329. Connect the dots and announce your opposition to this deceptive, anti-family bill!”
Find your own California state assemblymember here. If you don’t have a Republican assemblymember, please call the 19 other Republican assemblymembers anonymously after business hours, in this priority order of risky liberal to morally conservative:
Please make anonymous calls between 7pm and 8am, and on weekends, so that your voicemail will not be “trashed.” (State legislators routinely only care about messages from their own constituents; therefore, calls from many people AFTER business hours who do not ID themselves cannot be discarded). A flood of calls matter!
Connect the dots on the awful AB 86:
As written, AB 86 reads: “…the state board shall adopt instructional materials
for health education for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, pursuant to the requirements of this article and in alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019.”
What is the “health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019”?
It includes the “Healthy Youth Act” (AB 329 from 2015), teaching there are at least 7 “genders”!
What is the “Healthy Youth Act”
AB 329 is a key part of the 2019 frameworks, and the centerpiece of AB 86’s requirement for “sexual health” instruction materials. See more at our School Indoctrination page
AB 329 teaches children as young as 5th grade that any consensual sexual behavior is “safe” as long as you “protect” yourself with a condom, and teaches children that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are “normal.”
AB 329 requires children to learn about various sexual practices, such as:
Masturbation, oral sex, teen fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, and unlimited “genders,” as well as promoting abortion (baby-killing).
Under the guise of “health” education, AB 329, dubbed the “California Healthy Youth Act,” is mandatory for grades 7-12 and optional for younger grades.
What would this year’s AB 86 do?
It would require “the SBE* to adopt instructional materials for health education for kindergarten through grade 8 … in alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the SBE in 2019.”
Using AB 86 to mandate instructional materials based on the 2019 frameworks, which fully embraced AB 329, would satisfy the anti-parent “LGBTQIA+” groups, who want books, videos, and other material pushed upon elementary school districts and teachers to make them to sexually indoctrinate impressionable little children all the more.

Please take action and ask your friends to do the same!
