Olympic gold medalist Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner says he plans to run for governor in California.

Jenner, who some identify as the poster boy for transexuality, identifies as a woman and as a Republican, even though many believe he is neither.
He's 71 years old.
"Taking on entrenched Sacramento politicians and the special interests that fund them requires a fighter who isn't afraid to do what is right. I am a proven winner and the only outsider who can put an end to Gavin Newsom's disastrous time as governor," Jenner said on Twitter.
Take aways...
• Jenner may be identifying as a Republican to normalize males identifying as females.
• Jenner may be running as a Republican to obscure other Republican candidates.
If the recall effort gathers enough signatures to trigger an election, as Newsom says he expects it will, Californians will be asked to cast two votes: whether to remove the governor; and to choose a replacement from a list of candidates.
