Hilton, a conservative, has been a regular critic of the one-party hold Democrats have over the Golden State on his California-focused podcast and last year he released a book titled 'Califailure: Reversing the Ruin of America's Worst-Run State'.
He also previously hosted a weekly show called 'The Next Revolution' on FOX News.
'I love California so much. I moved to the Bay Area over a decade ago,' reads Hilton's campaign website. 'I've raised my family here, taught at Stanford, started a business, written books, hosted a TV show … lived the California dream. It's my home, in the deepest sense. I'm a proud American, and an incredibly proud Californian too.'
According to his campaign website, Hilton grew up in Britain and became a U.S. citizen in 2021.
Hilton joins an already crowded field of candidates, including former Rep. Katie Porter, Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.
