The former Olympic champion and reality TV star announced Friday that she has filed the paperwork and will run as a Republican against Democratic incumbent Gavin Newsom – declaring “Californians want better and deserve better from their governor”.
While Newsom’s current term isn’t up until 2023, an election could happen sooner – he’s facing a possible recall election over his handling of the pandemic.
