What would it take to make California a place where more people can afford to build a good life? I sit down with Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton to discuss his path from advising British Prime Minister David Cameron to running for office in California, our shared love of the American promise, and why he believes the state is falling short. We explore how good intentions can produce unintended consequences, the pressures facing small businesses, and his critique of how regulation, litigation, and special interests shape California politics.

Steve lays out his proposal to eliminate state income tax on the first $150,000 earned, with an 8% flat rate above that, and explains what he would need from a Democratic-led legislature to enact it. We also discuss why efforts to cut bureaucracy failed under Britain’s Conservative government, what he learned from that experience, and his vision for a “new decade of building”—housing, nuclear power, water infrastructure, and new cities. Throughout, we return to a question central to Due Diligence: how can we move beyond partisan loyalties to examine ideas and find common ground around making people’s lives better?
