Sergey Brin Funds Republican Candidates and Anti-Tax PAC to Influence California Governor Race
Google co-founder Sergey Brin has started a political campaign against Governor Gavin Newsom. After a personal argument with Newsom about state policies, Brin moved out of California. He is now funding efforts to change the state's leadership. He gave $39,200 to Republican candidate Steve Hilton and supports other candidates for governor.
Brin is also using his money to change California tax laws. He is a main donor for the Building a Better California PAC. This group is funding ballot measures to stop a proposed 5% tax on billionaires. The group also wants to make it harder for the state to pass any new taxes.
