Former Olympian and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner is considering running to be California’s next governor in the upcoming 2021 recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), with sources close to Jenner telling reporters she has been in talks with well-connected Republican consultants.
According to Axios, Jenner has been contemplating a run and has consulted with Caroline Wren, a longtime GOP fundraiser who previously worked at Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee for President Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign. Wren also organized the rally that preceded the storming of the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6.
“It’s a huge package that will really help people get back on their feet,” said Gilda Jacobs, CEO of the Michigan League for Public Policy, which advocates for racial equity and economic security.
“This totally parallels our agenda that we’ve had for years,” she said. “I was doing a happy dance.”
The stimulus, known as the American Rescue Plan, includes $1,400 per-person stimulus checks. While those are gaining significant attention, those who advocate for families say a longer-term impact could be the plan’s increases in child tax credits.
Currently planned for one year, boosters hope the benefit would become permanent. The tax credit increases to $3,600 from $2,000 for each child under 6 and to $3,000 from $2,000 for children 6 to 17.
