Caitlyn Jenner has officially joined the race to become the next governor of California.
Full story below…
The 71-year-old trumpeted the news moments ago saying:
“California has been my home for nearly 50 years. I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality. But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people. Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision.”
A detailed statement was also posted on social media:
Jenner, who has used her platform to raise awareness for Trans visibility, would become the first openly Trans person to win California governor.
Other high-profile names who’ve expressed interest in the role include Kanye West and Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
The 2022 California gubernatorial election will take place on November 8 2022.
