Steyer to draw on California methods in presidential bid

SAN FRANCISCO — Billionaire activist Tom Steyer says he will use “the exact same methods” in his fledgling Democratic presidential campaign that he’s used for more than a decade in California, where he has registered hundreds of thousands of voters and thrown millions into passing several major ballot measures.

“We’re a get-out-to-the-people, directly-address-the-people organization,’’ Steyer told POLITICO Tuesday. “I’ve been an outsider this whole time in Democratic politics."
