Caitlyn Jenner is running for governor of California, she announced Friday.




The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, a longtime Republican, filed initial paperwork to challenge Democratic incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom in a potential recall election.

“I’m in!” she declared on Twitter.

Jenner, 71, has a team of prominent GOP strategists behind her, Axios reported. They include Tony Fabrizio, a pollster who worked on former President Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns, and Steven Cheung, a former Trump White House aide who was part of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s team during the star’s successful 2003 recall election.

Jenner’s personal friend, Brad Parscale, Trump’s former campaign manager, helped build her team though he doesn’t plan on taking an official role on the campaign.



In a statement, the transgender rights activist slammed Newsom for his “over-restrictive lockdown” during the COVID-19 pandemic and complained that the Golden State’s taxes are “too high.”
