Tom Steyer

Tom Steyer is an American hedge fund founder, philanthropist, environmentalist, social activist, and fundraiser named Thomas Fahr Steyer. He is also a Democratic Party presidential nominee for 2020, and he is the founder and former co-senior managing partner of Farallon Capital, as well as the co-founder of Onecalifornia Bank, which became Beneficial State Bank, an Oakland-based community development bank, through a merger. From 2007 to 2017, he was a member of the Stanford University Board of Trustees. His net worth is $1.6 billion as of January 2020.

In South Carolina and Nevada, Tom Steyer is on the rise.

Tom Steyer’s unexpected victory in recent polls in South Carolina and Nevada is igniting a debate inside the Democratic Party about billionaire candidates’ ability to raise their profiles and win a position on the debate stage through extravagant spending. Steyer, who has never held elected office and polls in the low single digits nationally, shocked many observers by placing second in a recent South Carolina poll and gaining considerable ground in Nevada. This comes after months of saturating the airwaves in two states where most other candidates have received fewer advertising coverage. His ability to convert his personal wealth into a spot onstage, while longtime elected officials like Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) have been unable to do so, is causing increasing discord within the Democratic Party, particularly at a time when income inequality is a hot topic among Democrats.
