Steve Hilton, a Republican and former advisor to UK Prime Minister David Cameron, is competing in California's gubernatorial primary. Polls indicate he is closely matched with Democrat Xavier Becerra. If he advances, it would be significant as he has not held elected office before. Hilton is known for his unconventional approach and has been credited with modernizing Cameron's image during his time in the UK. He has proposed various policies, including a focus on local governance and a more modern Conservative Party image. However, some of his ideas have faced criticism for lacking practicality. Hilton left Cameron's government in 2012, citing family reasons, but many viewed it as a response to the challenges of governance compared to campaigning.
