  • Jenner embarked on a statewide tour last week, including a stop at the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday

  • Jenner has tried to cast herself as a moderate Republican in an attempt to distinguish herself from the dozens of candidates

On Tuesday morning, Jenner will visit one of the Coachella Valley's iHub innovation centers, according to a press release from her campaign.

"This coming week I'll be going west from La Quinta to San Bernardino. Then we will start making our way up north," Jenner tweeted Sunday. "Touring this state and meeting the hard working people has been the most special opportunity."

Jenner embarked on a statewide tour last week, including a stop at the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday where she vowed to crackdown on illegal immigration and pledged to use state funds to "fill in the gaps" at the border wall.

In recent years, the 1976 Olympic decathlon gold-medal winner has been a vocal advocate for the transgender community after coming out as a trans woman in 2015 and changing her name from Bruce to Caitlyn.

Jenner has tried to cast herself as a moderate Republican in an attempt to distinguish herself from the dozens of candidates bidding to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sept. 14, including conservative radio host Larry Elder, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and former GOP gubernatorial candidate John Cox.

"California needs a middle of the road candidate. I am that candidate," Jenner wrote in a tweet Sunday. "We do not need super far right individuals governing our state. We need prison reform, equality under the law, and affordable housing. While also having a biz friendly environment."

Newsom has ratcheted up his efforts with voters now receiving ballots in the mail. The governor campaigned in Los Angeles and San Diego counties on Saturday, painting recall supporters as extremists and seeking to tie them to former President Donald Trump.

"This is the most consequential election you're going to have an opportunity to vote on," Newsom said. "I know it felt like that last year, as it relates to Trump, but we didn't defeat Trumpism — it's still alive and well in the state of California. It's on the ballot Sept. 14."
