14. He"s got my vote

I don't believe there is a more progressive candidate on the ballot than Tom Steyer.

"Experienced" politicians are experienced at taking big money from donors and then
jumping when they say jump.

I understand the argument against billionaires running for office but most of those other candidates
are running because they want to become billionaires themselves.

If we never elected wealthy people to office we would never have had FDR who, in my opinion was
the greatest president in history.

I would suggest that you look to see who is funding the candidates and you will see who is pulling their strings. I think Steyer is funding his own campaign so no one is putting words in his mouth and it shows.

I was going to wait to see who the top Democrat was in the polling before I voted but I have decided to vote for the candidate I think would fight hardest for Californians and their environment and against the fuckup that is in the White House instead.

I want a progressive Governor and Tom Steyer has my vote.
