Billionaire and climate activist Tom Steyer held a San Diego town hall to make his case for the California governor's race. Steyer, along with eight Democrats and two Republicans currently vying for the position, stated his goal was to connect with voters across the state and win the election. He also highlighted his progressive stance on issues such as single-payer health care, breaking up electric companies like PG&E and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. However, some critics of Steyer's past business dealings with Farallon Capital Management, which he founded in 2000, raised concerns about his involvement in private prison company Corrections Corporation of America.
