California activist Jim Steyer is following his billionaire little brother into national politics — he’s launching a political advocacy group, and a super PAC may follow.
Steyer, 57, a children’s advocate with close ties to Hillary Clinton, hasn’t quite figured out how to stage his debut as a major player. But he promises it will be memorable.
“You don’t bring a squirt gun to a fight where the other guys have AK-47s,” he said in a telephone interview. “I will tell you this: We’re fearless.”
Younger brother Tom Steyer, 56, splashed onto the national radar last fall with huge investments in the Virginia governor’s race that helped boost Democrat Terry McAuliffe to a slim victory. He recently pledged to spend at least $100 million on the fall campaign to knock out candidates who don’t share his views on the urgency of combating global warming.

It is an old article but does help put points of reference around the Steyer brothers and the educational outreach at Stanford.
I’m not afraid either and don’t have Billions to protect me.
‘We’re fearless’
Do fearless people really say things like that? It seems more like something uttered by someone who is protected from fears.
If they’re fearless...they have no security guards, right?
“a children’s advocate”
Pedophile?
Watch out for CHILDREN’S ADVOCATES!!! Especially men.
Are these two following campaign finance laws?
BINGO!!
They do not have to FOLLOW laws...they are DEMOCRATS!
Child advocate??
How can one ever adequately thank him?
“You don’t bring a squirt gun to a fight where the other guys have AK-47s,”
I wouldn’t hedge any bets on this latest addition making a tiny bit of a difference.
JFK was fearless, You and your brother are putzes. (No offense to the rest of the putzes.)

Feckless is more like it.
Sure would like to know what kinds of companies Steyer invested in while building up his ‘investment’ business.
He rails against corporations....so what kinds of investments did he make???
