Could be, because he's MAGA.
He's the first out of the gate, but what always destroys Conservative candidates in Ca, isn't the Dims, it's the GOP'E.
I have a feeling the Establishment won't be able to interfere this time around, and we can expect to see our field get more crowded because of it.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is jumping in the ring to replace outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom, becoming the latest candidate to officially announce his campaign for California's top seat.
Newsom will finish his second and final term as governor at the end of 2026.
Bianco, a Republican and outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, held a press conference on Feb. 17 in Riverside to make the announcement, ending months of public speculation. He said it was time to return common sense to the state.
"We need to elect a leader to fix this state. Someone with the fortitude to make hard decisions and someone with the strength and courage to say no and stand up to the insanity of special interests," Bianco told supporters after announcing his campaign for governor.
"We will take our message of restoring sanity to every corner of our beautiful state. Our campaign will succeed because it must succeed. The future of California and America depend on it."
Bianco moved to the state in 1989 "in search of the California dream," he said. He married his wife, Denise, bought a house, and raised a family.
The sheriff stressed that the state needs public safety to be restored, schools to leave politics out of the classroom, and someone to stand up against special interests.
"As Californians, we want leadership that actually cares about the cost of living and leaders who will do something about it," he told supporters after announcing his campaign for governor. "We want air conditioning when it's hot, not rolling blackouts, we want water for crops and animals that feed us, and how about water to fight fires. We want the opportunity to achieve the California dream.
"We demand honesty and transparency from our elected officials. We want lower taxes. We want sanity restored and common sense to prevail," he said.
More, and a list of Marxists running on the left with the same old Deep State backers. :rolleyes:
