California school superintendent Tony Thurmond on Tuesday announced he's running for governor.
In a social media post, the Democrat wrote: "I didn’t come from money, power, or influence. I'm running for Governor to be a voice for those who need one — because California may be working for millionaires and billionaires but for the rest of California — we need real change."This summer, he said he was "seriously considering" the seat and formed a committee to explore a run.
He didn't back down and teamed up with the Attorney General to sue the district over its policy to out trans students. He told a story about how his mother immigrated from Panama and died when he was six. His father left him and his brother after the Vietnam War. He was raised by a cousin and lived in poverty.
In his message, he said he would be a voice for those who need one, including the homeless, low-paid workers and others in need. Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis has also said she wants to run to replace Newsom.
