Kenyan-Born Clergyman Declares His Bid for California Governor’s Seat in 2022
US-based Kenyan-born clergyman has declared his bid for California Governor’s seat in 2022.
Dr. Bishop Joe Symmon Mwangi, who was born and raised in Murang’a County before moving to the US decades ago, describes himself as a born-again Christian and a Conservative Republican.
“My name is Joe Mwangi Symmon. I wish every American best wishes as we Celebrate 244th Independence Day. As a resident of the Golden State, I hereby declare my intention to run for Governor of California in 2022. Or, and when governor Newsom is recalled,” Mwangi said in a statement.
“I’m Born-again Christian and a Conservative Republican. I’m pro-life, pro-family, Straight, Anti-dope and Committed believer in what the Scripture says: “When the righteous are in authority and become great, the people rejoice; But when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh.” Proverbs 29:2 AMP.”
“California has suffered long in the grip of bad Dynastic leadership. Change will and must happen now not later. With God’s favor and the choice of California voters, Joe Symmon will bring that change. Here’s our biggest moment for Change.”
“To reclaim the Golden State and restore its former Grace and Glory. I sincerely covet your prayers and support as we turn a new page in California Republic,” he noted.
Dr. Mwangi has previously tried his luck at becoming California’s Governor and appears not to have given up on his dream. He is married to Dr. Alycejo Mwangi.

There you go brother, shoot for the moon.
Goodluck.
Go for it Bishop and bring the long desired change that Carlifornia needs, Praying for you back here
Whenever I hear any politician quote the Scripture I run and never look back. Nothing good can come out of that mix. Majority of politicians are crooks. It sound like “ Make California Great Again” Say what???? Good luck.
Dr Mwangi California is a blue state and will never turn republican. Only votes you getting is from your family. Newsom will easily win a second term including from my vote.
It's happened before and can happen again.
Arnold Schwarzenegger- Republican Governor of California 2003-2011.
Well, So.Ca, may have the blues for now, but a new spirit IS coming, so get ready for a change of colors! Also, sounds like you know nothing of God's power.
Joe, keep up the hope. You never know; anything is possible.
Well, he should walk his dog instead.
Cali is a heavily Democratic state. Trump's acolytes tend to do badly. What is the real motive since it is a given he will maybe get the votes of his congregation and no more? If there are any other Kenyan republicans out there, please enlighten me as to how you join a party that actively despises everything about you. That has always puzzled me.
Bwana Mwangi, a little free advice from a fellow Kenyan and voter in the Golden State. All that mambo jambo pro-life, pro-family high horse nonsense might work in, like Alabama, but not here. Am not a betting man, but if I was, my money would be on our current governor. You have ABSOLUTELY NO chance of unseating Gavin Newsom!!
Stop punching above your weight bwana!
Well said @Ken! I won’t vote for the guy just because he hails from the same country with me! Be a state Governor is more that huyu mtu wetu! He has not done anything that will make me vote for him either! And what he says here does not make much sense to me!
Seeking cheap publicity.
This is a big joke. You could not get ten votes even in Muranga.
How many votes did you get last time?
Jealousy will take you no where!!
Who are conservative republicans, are they the ones who deny minorities civil rights and support white supremacy and hide behind the bible good luck master Mwangi I could be wrong educate me.
mwangi you must be crazy if not drunk 🤣 no one wi vote your black ass in California, maybe your wife period. Stick to what you know,confusing people through Bible.
Here we go again! Joe is well known seeking cheap publicity.
So he needs our supported, why? Because he sinfully utters God's name? And did he to Pr. Nganga school of pastoring?
Maybe he has learned how to fraudulently spend money raised for election campaigns.
Blue State. Your chance of wining is almost zero. Change the party.
Preacher man Congratulations for trying but you are in the wrong party! What are your consecutive values going to offer the people of cCalifornia?
You actually fail to understand the politics of the time where the Republican Party is abusing the minorities all across America!
You cannot be an ignorant preacher who fails to understand other people’s plights! You are not gonna make it in California. 2020 is a bad year for conservative republicans! I will look you up to hear your views🔍
Hope this Mwangi will not be seen standing next to the shit-hole man and looking at the people with a fainted smile! Mwangi you are still from a shit-hole country according to your fellow conservatives! How do you justify this without being conveniently biased! How?
When u mentioned u were straight that killed it. California is Lgbt state.
This ediot is there for publicity. He could have tried Africa first
@wise counsel, Just like you tried virus in Wuhan, China first before you sent it to the entire world!!!
Pastor mwangi Goid job for bin brave enough to represent Kenyans in slavery diaspora.Dont listen to busybodies n loosers who r always hiding for the immigration for fear of deportation.U have them papers n u sounds thomed so bro go for it.Its beta to try n loose.Wengine wetu ni bure kabisa.I remember many dismissed obama/Ruto/uhuru oooh even Trump so miracles do happen so go for it.Niggas are always brainwashed by history or seeing 1 inch like a fly.not to see far so ignore those haters telling u that u cannot go anywhere
Muru wa maitu, California primary is such that only the top 2 survive. Arnold had name recognition and never said this evangelical crap. It might work in cracker states like Miss. and Alabama but not so in California. Obama had run and lost then ran, won, got his chance at the DNC emerged a star, won his race for senator. He also had some seriously electrifying speechmaking abilities. I attended His acceptance in Denver. This pastor has done nothing to gain recognition other than say dumb shit guaranteed to lose. His campaign will end like those of the other oddballs that have run in the Golden State, ignominiously.
Seriously? Grow up first, check your ass self on a real mirror, not your twisted reflection of self, then, learn correct grammer, spelling etc before getting into stuff you are clueless of or at a minimum, write in your mother tongue, something you may be more at home using. Bure kabisa, with your picayune mind.
Most of you people who call yourself liberals are actually conservatives. Check again what either side stand for. You know it but its that you hate Trump and think Obama is a saint...really. Btw, what did he do for Africa in 8yrs? Oh... and don't start me on lets burn down white businesses stupid. Are they who are doing it better today than last month???
My dislike of Republican party values(if you can call them that) predates Trump. This is a party of white identity politics that thinks every one else is into identity politics. We have 2 choices and the party of Trump is simply amoral, venal and racist to the core. Most Kenyans don't need someone else to tell them what they are. They can make those choices for themselves
What have your oen elected officials done for Africa. Stop with that bullshit you can't expect the president of another country to come do things in your country. In that case blame every other world president for not doing something for Africa while you elect the same folk that embezzle the country to the ground
Iʻm a California voter and I have a few questions Iʻd like to ask in a series of queries. Please let me know if there is a better way to connect with you.
Black people make up about 6% of San Diego County and still 6% of California (2019 Census). Of all COVID vaccinations administered, Black people represent 3% of San Diego and 4% of the state. (San Diego County; Kaiser Family Foundation). How are you prioritizing the health of Black Californians? What metrics are you using to measure the success of your plans?
Please tell the truth for the sake of the bible you quote. Joe Mwangi is not new to California politics. He ran for governor of California before in the early 2000s and lost in the primaries. Know who his senior campaign advisor was then? GEORGE LUCHIRI WAJACKOYAH!! Please remove 'antidope' from your intro coz you cannot have 'antidope' and Wajackoyah in the same sentence!
Like all others who quote the bible as the basis for their political manouvres, this guy Joseph Mwangi, forget the Symmon stuff is a liar. He ran for governor of California before in the early 2000s and lost in the primaries. Know who his senior campaign advisor was then? George Luchiri Wajackoyah!!!
