Former Olympic decathlete and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner has filed her initial paperwork to run for governor of California and will officially announce her bid later today, her campaign tells Axios.
The big picture: Jenner, a longtime Republican, is seeking to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in a recall election, hoping her celebrity status and name recognition can yield an upset in the nation's most populous state.
But in deep-blue California, she's decidedly not branding herself as a Trump Republican even as she's counting on some of the former president's advisers to drive her strategy.
She's assembled a team of prominent GOP operatives including Tony Fabrizio, the top pollster on Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns, and Steven Cheung, a former Trump White House and campaign communications hand who worked on Arnold Schwarzenegger's successful 2003 recall campaign.
Others in the operation include Ryan Erwin, founder of RedRock Strategies, and Tyler Deaton, president of Allegiance Strategies.
Trump's former campaign manager Brad Parscale, a personal friend of Jenner’s, has helped her assemble her team but doesn’t plan to take an official title on the campaign.
The campaign's website and WinRed donation page are set to go live today.
Jenner said in a statement that "Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision" and that "for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people."

Why not? Could it be any worse than what they’ve got now?
The PERECT candidate for California.
Probably a slam dunk in California.
It would get my vote.
California is so decadent and depraved that replacing an uber liberal with a bizarre, demented homosexual is not so far fetched.
"Caitlyn" Jenner has NEVER been an Olympic decathlete.
You mean all those people Caitlyn beat lost to a girl?
I'm just relieved I stayed away from that Breakfast of Champions cereal, who knew it was full of estrogen.
If it gets more people to the polls the real will succeed. Just remember who succeeds is not the goal-it’s getting rid of Newsom.
Bruce, Bruce, Bruce...your pathologic need for attention is just tragic.
The Bruce is on the loose.
Peak Clown World is within reach!
The Democrats are the real transphobes!
Ya gotta see Louder with Crowder and the Tick-Tock bit he did about Jenner.
LMFAO
The granola bar candidate for the granola bar state. Ya got your fruits and nuts and flakes all wrapped up in one package.
Madam Governor
You mean BRUCE Jenner, the self-mutilator.

Those mentally deranged “tranny” psychotics are beyond despicable and are closer to pure satanic evil.
