California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond is running for governor in 2026. If elected, he would be the first Black person for the job.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond speaks at a National Coming Out Day celebration at Oceanside High School, Oct. 11, 2022.
California’s top education official, Tony Thurmond, on Tuesday announced his bid for governor in 2026, a move that comes amid debates about the rights of students and parents, and what role the state should play as school boards approve class materials. If elected, Thurmond, the state superintendent of public instruction, would be the first Black person to become California's governor. He says he wants to address income inequality, ensure schools are better funded and speed up the state's transition to renewable energy.
“Our campaign isn't about any one person. It's about people who are struggling across our state,” the Democrat said in an advertisement announcing his campaign. “California should be a place where everyone has a chance to succeed.”
