Tom Steyer’s campaign released “Risky,” an attack ad targeting Xavier Becerra in California’s 2026 governor’s race. The spot links Becerra to a corruption case involving former top aides Dana Williamson and Sean McCluskie, both of whom pleaded guilty to charges connected to the diversion of funds from a dormant Becerra campaign account. The ad suggests Becerra “could be indicted next,” a claim his campaign strongly denies. Becerra’s campaign threatened legal action, calling the ad defamatory and arguing that federal prosecutors have not implicated him in the case.
The Jim Heath Channel will continue adding 2026 campaign ads from competitive races and major ballot fights across the country throughout the year. Check back often as the campaign unfolds.
