Former Assistant Treasury Secretary Neel
Kashkari announced Tuesday he will run in this year's California governor's race against Democratic
Gov. Jerry Brown.
Kashkari, a Republican Bush
appointee, was instrumental in crafting and implementing the $700 billion bank
bailout in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The bailout ultimately made
the government a $13 billion profit.
He left office in 2009 to go to
work for bond giant Pimco, where he worked until 2013.
The campaign's new website touts
Kashkari as a centrist “pragmatic leader who has successfully worked with
Republicans and Democrats to tackle the most serious economic challenges America has
faced.”
“Today, the gift of a good
education and the doors of opportunity it opens are out of reach for millions
of struggling Californians. That’s why I’m running for governor: To create jobs
and give kids a quality education. Jobs and education. That’s it. That’s my
platform,” Kashkari, 40, announced on his blog.
Although Kashkari has never held
elected office, the Republican Governors Association quickly welcomed him to
the race.
“It's time to end @JerryBrownGov's
tax-and-spend games,” the RGA tweeted.
Brown has been heavily favored to
win reelection in the deep blue state of California,
although he has not officially announced his candidacy.
Also running as a Republican in
the race is Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Tea Party conservative.
