State of CaliforniaCandidate for GovernorNewsom Replacement

Jeff Hewitt was born in 1953 in Southern California. Graduated from Yucaipa High School and Cal State San Bernardino with a bachelor’s degree in Biology. While in College, Jeff started his own contracting company by creating new applications for existing technology then eventually applied what he learned to pool construction, including excavation and plumbing. Since 1985 he has navigated his small business to feed his large family and support the community with employment and enjoyment of his customers.

In 2004, Jeff Hewitt was asked to serve on the City of Calimesa Planning Commission, which empowered him to do more in Public Service. In 2010 Hewitt ran for City Council and served three terms as Mayor of Calimesa. In 2018, Jeff was elected to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. With a lifetime of balance between the public and private sector, Supervisor Hewitt has the necessary knowledge needed to solve the challenges facing California.

I love this state, as a third generation native Californian I have raised my family and run a business right here in California. I am ashamed that our state has deteriorated so much that my grandkids may not be able to build their lives here like I did. Rising housing prices, lack of infrastructure, and a broken education system are only the start to our worsening problems. When I was elected as County Supervisor in 2018, I wanted to do my best to grow the local economy and rebuild crumbling infrastructure. I could have never imagined the challenges that awaited me. Instead of building roads, I was fighting with the state to equitably distribute vaccines to our county. Instead of building housing, I was spearheading research to help keep my community safe. Instead of tackling the homelessness crisis, I was handing out food to families that were out of work. I am proud of the work I and my colleagues have done, despite the terrible and arbitrary edicts from the Governor. I offer the unique combination of elected experience, small business acumen, and a rarely seen backbone in a politician. As your next Governor I will address our water crisis first, setting aside funding for conveyance and expanding dams. Our housing shortage, education and looming pension debt are all in my sights as well. As a proud Libertarian, I can work across the aisle to get the job done. www.hewitt4ca.com
