LOS ANGELES—Former Olympic gold medal winner-turned reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner filed paperwork April 23 to run for governor of California in a likely recall election of Gov. Gavin Newsom later this year.
“California has been my home for nearly 50 years. I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality. But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people,” Jenner said in a statement.
