Gubernatorial Candidate Steve Hilton’s ‘Califordable’ Tour Stops in Neighboring South Pasadena Today

Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is set to hold a “Califordable Town Hall” in South Pasadena at 3 p.m. Saturday.

The event is part of Hilton’s statewide “Califordable Town Hall Tour,” a series of more than 25 stops launched Jan. 21 in Redwood City. The format includes remarks by Hilton followed by an audience question-and-answer session focused on affordability issues such as housing, health care, energy and other rising costs.

Hilton advanced to the Nov. 3 general election after finishing second in the June 2 open primary and will face Democrat Xavier Becerra.

A UC Berkeley IGS/Los Angeles Times poll cited in the source material showed Becerra leading Hilton 52% to 31% among registered voters.

Hilton has centered his campaign on affordability, including taxes, housing, energy prices and health-care spending.

“Everything is too expensive in California. We’re going to cut people’s costs,” Hilton said.

The research report identifies South Pasadena’s housing costs as an example of the affordability issues Hilton highlights. U.S. Census Bureau data cited in the document list the city’s median home value at $1,545,100 and median gross rent at $2,218.

The town hall will be held at KRB Custom Garages, 1517 Fair Oaks Ave. in South Pasadena.

Previous stops on Hilton’s tour listed in the source material include Pasadena/Los Angeles County, Santa Barbara, Orland, Roseville/Rocklin, Thousand Oaks and West Los Angeles.
