California's Economic Crossroads

Stephen J. Cloobeck, a self-proclaimed “fiscally conservative and socially responsible Democrat,” is running as a Democratic candidate for Governor of California in 2026. Touted by the likes of former President Bill Clinton, Robert Shapiro and Senator Cory Booker, Cloobeck says he is eager to be the navigator of change for what he refers to as the “broken” state.

Cloobeck is also the founder and former CEO of Diamond Resorts International, and believes his significant business experience well help him guide California's economy, which on its own would stand as the fifth largest in the world.
