OneRepublic founding member announces bid for California lieutenant governor

Tim Myers, a founding member of the band One Republic, has entered the race for California lieutenant governor.

“Tim is running for Lt. Governor to fix a broken political system dominated by career politicians and special interests and rigged against the working class,” his campaign said in an announcement.

Myers is running as a Democrat.

The No. 2 position in the Golden State has traditionally been seen as a stepping stone to governorship.

Gov. Gavin Newsom served as lieutenant governor for eight years until 2019, and current Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis is running for governor since Newsom will be termed out.

This isn’t Myers’ first time running for public office. He previously announced his intention to run against Republican Rep. Ken Calvert, who represents a district in the Inland Empire. That campaign website is now inactive.

Myers joins Treasurer Fiona Ma, Newsom adviser Josh Fryday, former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs, California State Board of Equalization member Mike Schaefer, California Sen. Steven Bradford, and Janelle Kellman, all of whom are Democrats.
