Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton visits Raven Ranch
– Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton spoke Friday evening to more than 500 people at the Raven Ranch outside Paso Robles.
San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow introduced Hilton to the crowd.
Steve Hilton talked to those in attendance about the upcoming election. As he did in a previous engagement at Cal Poly, Hilton answered questions from the audience for more than an hour. People asked about California gas taxes, the bullet train, election corruption, and the future of the state. Hilton talked about “Califfordability.” In particular, he talked about younger Californians’ ability to afford a home.
Hilton admitted that although he sounds British, he’s the son of Hungarians who fled to England to escape communism. He’s now an American citizen, and proud of it.
He admitted that polling indicates his support trails that of Xavier Becerra in the upcoming election, but said the media is beginning to ask his opponent critical questions about more than 400,000 children who were under his supervision after they entered the United States during the Biden Open Immigration window. Hilton said the treatment of those children could become an issue for Bececerra, who served as the former Health and Human Services Secretary in the Biden Administration.
After his speech, Hilton met with many of his supporters and posed for pictures with many who wanted a photo with him.
The General Election is in early November.
