Caitlyn Jenner Is Officially Running For Governor Of California

Caitlyn Jenner has officially joined the race to become the next governor of California.

Caitlyn announced her campaign on Twitter shortly after with a press release confirming her intentions to replace Democratic governor Gavin Newsom.

She said: "California has been my home for nearly 50 years. I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality.

"But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people. Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision."

The 71-year-old added: "I have been a congressional disruptor throughout my life, from representing the United States and winning a gold medal at the Olympics to helping advance the movement of equality.

"As Californians, we face a now or never opportunity to fundamentally fix our state before it's too late."

Caitlyn has been a lifelong republican however Axios has reported that she plans to talk to anybody, whether they are Republican or Democratic about the future of the Golden State. She is also running as socially liberal, a campaign advisor told the website "she's running as someone that's socially liberal and fiscally conservative."

California is a historically Democratic state and Caitlyn has decided not to run as a "Trump Republican".

As Caitlyn announced her campaign her online shop updated with a brand new collection of mugs, t-shirts and posted with her "Caitlyn for California" slogan and logo emblazoned on them. Will we see her famous kids, namely Kendall and kylie, wearing them soon?

Tyla has contacted Caitlyn Jenner's reps.
