The first Republican candidate from California to gain significant recognition was Thomas Starr King, who ran for the U.S. Senate in 1858. However, he did not win the election. The first Republican to be elected to statewide office in California was Leland Stanford, who became the governor in 1862. Stanford was a prominent figure in the development of the state and later became a co-founder of Stanford University.
