“Cheers” star and Pixar voice actor John Ratzenberger announced his support for Republican California gubernatorial candidate Chad Bianco, calling out Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s leadership.
With California’s June primary approaching, the race between Democrats and Republicans is heating up. Endorsements have continued to roll in as party leaders and public figures weigh in on who they believe can steer the state forward; Ratzenberger is the latest to do so. The actor has worked in Hollywood for over 20 years, featuring as Cliff Clavin in “Cheers” and voicing notable characters in Pixar films such as “Toy Story,” “Cars” and “Monsters, Inc.”
In an exclusive statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation, Ratzenberger reflected on Newsom’s leadership during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, saying the only person he trusts to “fix the mess” Newsom is leaving behind is Bianco.
“I’ve spent years traveling the country trying to bring back America’s manufacturing. I’ve talked with manufacturers across this country who, prior to President Trump, were completely overlooked. In California, Gavin Newsom spent his time partying with celebrities while businesses were forced closed. There is only one man I trust to fix the mess Gavin Newsom is leaving behind, and that’s Sheriff Chad Bianco,” Ratzenberger told the DCNF.

With roughly eight prominent Democrats and two Republicans, including Bianco, running in California’s 2026 gubernatorial race, polls suggest Democrats could face a competitive primary. An Emerson College Polling and Inside California Politics survey released in December showed Bianco leading with 13% support, followed by Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell at 12%, former Fox News host Steve Hilton also at 12%, and former Democratic Rep. Katie Porter at 11%.

Cliff Clavin has been a good conservative for a long time.
Ever since he left Pixar the quality of their product has gone downhill
There is video of Bianco being questioned about how voters can trust him to make tough decisions, when he kneeled for black lives matter. His response was to “forcefully” claim he never knelt. Unfortunately for him, there is video, widely spread, of him kneeling, throwing his deputies under the bus. Pretty shocking he was not prepared for that question and had to resort to lying. but, then, he is a politician.
The mailman knows things.

That’s not the only thing he lies about. Bianco is a jerk, hated by most of his own deputies.
Ratzenberger is a great actor, and Cliff Clavin was just about the best character on Cheers. IIRC, Ratzenberger started out on the show with barely-above-an-extra status, but he successfully pitched the showrunners on the idea of fleshing out his character as the bar’s resident “know it all”... and the rest is history.
It takes more talent to act incompetently than it does to feign expertise.
I’ve heard him on Howie Carr’s show. Great guy.
Only way for a Republican governor in California is for Steve Hilton and Bianco to get 20% each in the primary, and the five DemonRats evenly divide the remaining 60%. That eliminates the chance of another DemonRat in the general election.
Can’t be. In the same video he declares he is the most respected law enforcement leader in the state.
You’re right.
He could team up with Tim Allen.
Yes cause Shifting gears is not gonna last
His career goes back much further than that; He was in “The Empire Strikes Back”.

I like Chad alot, I’d vote for him. I also like Steve Hilton. Chad Bianco as sheriff of Riverside county refused to enforce most, if not all of the covid mandates saying they were unconstitutional. He stood up for Californians freedoms when everyone else here didn’t.
Yeah, but he sure blew it on Jeopardy.
He was John Lasseter’s good luck charm. When John Left, Pixar started declining.
