Steve Hilton, a 56-year-old small business owner from Atherton, is running for California governor as a Republican. His top economic development priority is making California affordable again by reducing layers of regulation, mandates, and delays that hinder business growth. Hilton attributes the state's high costs to 'extreme climate dogma, corrupt union power, and nuisance lawsuits.' To bring immediate relief to residents, he suggests suspending the gas tax and cutting vehicle registration fees. Hilton supports a one-year suspension of the state's gas tax, a proposal made by Legislative Republicans, but opposes a road usage charge or mileage tax. As governor, he aims to reverse policy choices that restrict supply and drive up costs, thereby reducing prices at the pump for California drivers.
