Episode Details

Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is launching a bold campaign to slash California’s crushing regulatory burden on hospitals, citing unfunded seismic retrofit mandates, soaring minimum wages, and energy costs as drains on healthcare providers. Visiting a Fresno medical center, he frames himself as an outsider ready to dismantle bureaucratic overreach — contrasting sharply with opponent Xavier Becerra, a longtime regulator who vows to protect rural hospitals. Hilton’s campaign also targets non-Trump voters with new ads, pairing him with Lt. Gov. candidate Gloria Romero to deliver a deregulation message. Despite trailing in polls, he’s confident his plan to roll back state mandates and appoint reform-minded appointees will resonate — arguing that Becerra’s career politics can’t deliver the overhaul California needs.
