Campaign themes

- Jobs
- Excerpt: "California needs to make job creation its top priority. The state has up to 15% unemployment. Millions of Californians are out of work. In spite of this the legislature introduces bills every year to raise taxes and kill jobs."
- Balancing The Budget
- Excerpt: "Our budget is out of control. Never gets passed on time. The state deficit is in the billions. The bureaucracy is outrageous. The state needs to make cuts across the board to consolidate and privatize agencies, sub-contract to the private sector on a bid basis to balance the budget."
- No New Taxes
- Excerpt: "I won’t support any legislation to raise taxes on families and business. California has the highest sales tax. The second highest income tax. Why would anyone want to do business in California in this environment? "

Race background
Democratic incumbent Gov. Jerry Brown was elected to a record-breaking fourth non-consecutive term in the office.[9]
Including Brown, 15 candidates filed for the June 3 California gubernatorial primary election. Laguna Hills Mayor Andrew Blount (R) withdrew from the race one month before the primary due to health issues. Bount's exit left a total of 14 candidates.[10]
Throughout the primary campaign season, polls underscored projections that Brown would win another four-year term as California's chief executive in 2014. A Field Poll released in early April put Brown ahead of Tim Donnelly by a 40 percent margin. Brown drew 57 percent to Donnelly's 17 percent, with ex-candidate Blount at 3 percent and Kashkari at 2 percent. The final poll before the primary conducted for USC and the Los Angeles Times had Kashkari second place overall at 18 percent, with Donnelly at 13 percent and Brown at 50 percent.[11]
The California gubernatorial race was rated by the Cook Political Report as "Solid Democratic." Brown defeated Republican challenger Neel Kashkari in the November 4 general election by an 18 percent margin.[12]
