Tech billionaires are backing San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan for California governor, intensifying support after Eric Swalwell’s withdrawal following sexual assault allegations. The push comes as Mahan, a tech-friendly Democrat, gains momentum in the 2026 race, with Silicon Valley elites seeing him as a strategic ally for policy influence. Swalwell’s abrupt exit created a power vacuum, prompting billionaires to consolidate behind Mahan to shape California’s tech and economic agenda. Bloomberg reports the move reflects growing tech industry involvement in state politics, leveraging financial clout to sway key elections. Analysts note Mahan’s pro-innovation stance aligns with donors’ interests, including AI, quantum computing, and startup-friendly regulations.
