Indian-American Neel Kashkari To Run For California Governor
Washington: Former Indian-American U.S. Treasury official Neel Kashkari, architect of the bank bailout during the 2008 financial crisis, plans to run for governor of California with a pledge to create jobs and improve public schools.
"Today, the gift of a good education and the opportunity it creates are out of reach for millions of struggling Californians," he said in a keynote speech Tuesday at the 2014 Sacramento Business Review at California State University, Sacramento.
"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," said Kashkari, 40, a Republican, according to his website.
But unseating Democratic Governor Jerry Brown Brown, "a popular Democratic incumbent who is widely expected to run for re-election, will be an uphill battle for Kashkari, a political novice," according San Jose Mercury News
Right now, Kashkari's only Republican challenger is California assembly memmber, Tim Donnelly, a tea party favourite and staunch social conservative.
