Actor, fitness personality and entrepreneur Jake Steinfeld weighs the potential run of the California governor. The founder of “Body by Jake” shared the news during an interview.”Brian Killmead Show. ”
“There's a good chance he'll run for governor of California,” Steinfeld said.
“I've met a lot of different people and I have a very strong interest.”

Steinfeld said the idea came after witnessing the destruction caused by the recent wildfires of his Pacific Palisades community. He lost his home and belongings in the flames and has since struggled with his reconstruction efforts, citing California's permitting process as a major obstacle.
“To get permission to do something, it can take weeks, sometimes months, sometimes to do something and to put the roof on something,” Steinfeld said.
“That's insane.”
He criticized state and local leaders for handling the crisis.
“You can hear the mayor and governor, and all they chart is that we are at Lightspeed.
“I say, go out, come out and take a walk with me.
The fire promotes new efforts to remember both Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, with critics accusing them of not responding effectively. Newsom, who won't stand up for reelection in 2026, opposes the recall and calls it a political stunt.

“This time they have sunk into a new low state – they will abuse La Fire's victims for political gain,” the governor said in an official response.
Steinfeld, the fitness empire's most famous, also appeared in films like “Coming To America” (1988), voiced the character from Disney's “Ratatouille” (2007). The Brooklyn native moved to California at the age of 18 and pursued his dreams.
“California is where dreams come true,” he said.
“Unfortunately, today, that dream is rising with smoke. Literally, figuratively.”
If he ran, Steinfeld claimed that California was lost, saying he would do so as a Republican.
