Tom Steyer Spends Over $115 Million in California Governor's Race
Ad tracker AdImpact says Steyer has booked more than $115 million in broadcast, cable and radio ads, nearly 30 times his nearest Democratic rival.
- Billionaire Tom Steyer has spent or booked over $115 million in advertising for California's governor's race, outspending his nearest Democratic rival by nearly 30 times across broadcast, cable, and radio.
- The race remains fluid following former U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell's abrupt withdrawal, as California's primary system allows only the top two vote-getters to advance to the general election regardless of party.
- Despite the spending surge, Steyer has not broken away from the field in recent polling, prompting veteran Democratic strategist Bill Carrick to suggest that if initial ad rounds fail to move voters, subsequent efforts likely will not.
