The 71-year-old has filed paperwork to launch her campaign and is expected to formally announce her run later today. 

She has also launched a campaign website where she says: ‘I’m in! 

‘California has been my home for nearly 50 years. I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality. 

‘But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people. 

‘Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision.’ 

Jenner first became famous as Bruce Jenner, a Team USA gold medal-winning decathlete, then stepped back into the spotlight as Kim Kardashian‘s step-father on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Most notably, she revealed in 2015 that she was transgender and had started living as Caitlyn.
