PG Targets Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Steyer Amidst California Governor Race
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), California's largest energy utility, has launched a significant campaign against Tom Steyer, a candidate in the California governor's race. PG&E has invested at least $13.5 million in efforts to oppose Steyer, who is known for his environmental advocacy and criticism of utility companies. Steyer accuses PG&E and other major utilities of prioritizing profits over consumer interests, contributing to high energy bills and deadly wildfires. Despite other candidates also criticizing utilities, Steyer has been the most vocal, calling for accountability and reform. PG&E's campaign against Steyer focuses on his past investments in coal and detention centers, rather than his energy policies. Steyer, a Democrat, is using his personal wealth to fund his campaign and aims to advance past the June primary. He faces competition from Republican Steve Hilton and former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.
