That\u2019s how much Steyer has spent on his own gubernatorial campaign, CalMatters reported. Steyer spent $340 million on his 2020 presidential campaign, we reported previously. He failed to win a single state in the 2020 primaries, and dropped out after coming in third in the South Carolina primary that he heavily focused his efforts in, earning 11% of the vote, behind Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. (20%) and former President Joe Biden (49%).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=527\">U.S. Completes Retaliatory Bombing On Iran After Downed Helicopter<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Forbes Valuation<\/h2>\n<p>We estimate Steyer is worth $2.4 billion.<\/p>\n<h2>Chief Critic<\/h2>\n<p>Steyer\u2019s opponents have frequently criticized his self-funding and the source of his wealth. Porter has accused him of trying to \u201cbuy the governor\u2019s office,\u201d while Steyer has faced scrutiny for years over his Farallon Capital hedge fund\u2019s investments in coal mining and private prisons. \u201cHis entire campaign is built on the backs of kids in cages,\u201d Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., wrote recently on X, shortly before ending his own gubernatorial bid. Farallon invested $34 million in 2005 in Corrections Corp., which runs migrant detention centers, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2019, when he was running for president. Steyer told the paper at the time, \u201cI deeply regret that Farallon made that investment, and I personally ordered the investment in CCA to be sold because it did not accord with my values then or now.\u201d The fund also invested in fossil fuel projects, and Steyer has said he ultimately left the fund because of those holdings.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=526\">Graham Platner Wins Primary As Controversy Over Troubled Behavior Swirls<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Key Background<\/h2>\n<p>Steyer founded the San Francisco-based hedge fund Farallon Capital in 1986 after working at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. He left the company in 2012 and has devoted most of his post-finance career to public service initiatives, including founding the community development bank Beneficial State Bank with his wife, Kat Taylor, in 2007. The couple signed the Giving Pledge in 2010 committing a majority of their wealth to philanthropic causes. Steyer has been involved in Democratic politics and environmental activism for decades. In his 2020 presidential campaign, he named climate as his No. 1 priority and said he would declare an environmental emergency on his first day in office. His NextGen Climate Action Committee supports progressive candidates. During his latest campaign, Steyer has emphasized lowering the cost of living, making housing more affordable, reducing electricity bills, advocating for single-payer health care and contesting corporate special interests. He has vowed to vote in November in favor of California\u2019s proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaires.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=524\">Nancy Mace Loses South Carolina Governor Primary After Trump Endorsement Snub<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steyer had 22.6% of votes when the race was called.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
