Liberal activist and former hedge fund manager Tom Steyer has topped $100 million in advertising for California governor's race, following rival Eric Swalwell's withdrawal from the race. Steyer, who has promised to abolish immigration enforcement and reduce housing costs for Californians, is using his personal wealth to ensure Californians know his name. Despite this, he has only managed to tie for second place in a poll with votes evenly split among the remaining Democratic candidates. This increase in spending does not guarantee a win for Steyer as there is no clear leader in the race until the June 2 primary election.
