Here’s the latest I can confirm quickly:
-
Tom Steyer has been active in California politics, announcing a 2026 bid for Governor of California to succeed term-limited Gavin Newsom, with his campaign positioning around affordability and systemic change. This move follows his 2020 presidential bid and ongoing climate-focused political activity.[2][7]
-
In late 2025, Steyer took a leave of absence from his climate-focused investment firm to pursue the California gubernatorial race.[2]
-
Media coverage through early 2026 emphasizes his fundraising and strategy in the California race, including efforts to appeal to progressive and climate-focused voters.[7]
If you’d like, I can pull more detailed, up-to-date items or a short timeline with sources.
