Water reservoirs are a necessity for firefighting and they must be built maintained and remain filled.

It's absurd that we have to discuss this but we do. Elected officials must avoid any conflicts of interest in this matter and anyone caught stealing from taxpayers directly or through kickbacks should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Illegal immigration is just that, illegal. California is not its own country. California must abide by Federal immigration law. There are processes in place for legal immigration. Illegal immigrants must be handled and processed according to the guidelines set by federal law.

State spending needs deep cuts in non-essential areas to work aggressively toward a balanced budget and a cash surplus.

Controlled burns and cleaning the forest floors are necessities. We cannot have more out of control wildfires.

Humans come first. If there is going to be a Coastal Commission, the director of the Coastal Commission should be elected so that they can also be fired by voters when they make decisions that endanger public health and safety.

California's high electricity prices cause any reasonable consumer to ask why California electricity prices are so high compared to other states.  Californians deserve the opportunity to purchase from different electricity providers who compete for customer dollars which results in lower electricity prices for Californians.

Elected officials pocketing money through the fraudulent homeless industrial complex must stop immediately. 

Public camping and makeshift homes in public places must stop. 

Californians are Americans, and Americans have the Constitutional right to private gun ownership.

The COVID era lockdowns in California were absolute nonsense. Ineffective government encroachment upon personal freedoms for law abiding citizens is 100% unacceptable.

Handcuffs are the best explanation for those who don't understand this or who refuse to comply.

Criminal prosecution in California is nowhere near where it needs to be, as evidenced by the fact that criminals are not afraid to commit heinous crimes in California.

Low penalties for criminals was tried and it shows horrible results on a daily basis.

The California state government needs to be cut down to the bare essentials of handling actual big picture state concerns like safety, state highways, law enforcement, correctional facilities, etc. 

California's spending problem is what leads to California's over-taxation problem.

Californians need jobs.

When California has a bad business climate, businesses leave California taking jobs with them, or businesses don't want to start operations in California so they move out of state to start, or they close their doors permanently. In all three of these scenarios, Californian are losing job opportunities.

California's attempts to "protect" homeowners by making it difficult for insurance companies to raise their prices to reflect the risk that they are taking on by insuring homes is leaving insurance companies with no option but to leave California.

To help reduce and prevent human trafficking and smuggling, I am interested in looking into the possibility of having passenger vehicle and tractor trailer / semi-truck scanners at California borders. 

Parents have a right to decide if their children are vaccinated, and what vaccines they want their children to have if any.

.

Public schools should afford students the opportunity to experience taxpayer funded trade school training such as welding, woodworking, shop class, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and other trades to see if these are career paths or personal interests for students.

California military veterans should not feel compelled to leave California for other states who offer better tax incentives. 

Most importantly: I believe that we can do better by doing everything that we can to serve our veterans. 

I support the death penalty in California for murderers.

Keeping death row inmates alive for decades is a disservice to taxpayers and a disservice to the families of these victims who have lost their loved ones to murderers.

Students graduating from public school should have a basic understanding of personal finance, interest rates, compounding interest, and time value of money.

California should be an open carry state with no license or paperwork needed to open carry in California, regardless of whether or not a person is a California resident.

Only real, healthy, non-ultraprocessed foods should be funded by California taxpayer dollars in California.

So called "Sanctuary Cities" in California are illegal.

California is not its own country. 

California is a state.

All states must abide by US federal law.

If elected, it is my goal to completely defund the California High Speed Rail permanently. 

The High Speed Rail doesn't make financial sense.

Farmers in California not to have surface water rights to water flowing past their properties on its way toward the ocean.

California cannot afford to provide free medical care to illegal immigrants.

Owning a gas generator should be encouraged, not discouraged.

The State of California has an obligation to protect homeowners and investors from being abused by squatters. Protecting property owners encourages Real Estate investment by Californians and out-of-state investors, both of which help the California economy.

Chinese investment in California and the policies pertaining thereto is to be audited and / or adjusted in alignment with promoting and protecting America First principles, protecting California State security, and protecting US national security to the maximum extent allowed by law.

Californians have a right to defend themselves. 

If an attacker makes the decision to end their life or risk ending their life by attacking a law abiding citizen in the State of California, the California court system, California judges, and California jurors should err on the side of protecting the victim of the attack, not the attacker.

California's "Jungle Primary" is a path to one-party governance and this is a losing scenario for Californians. 

Under no circumstances should California taxpayer dollars be used for "Reparations."

If persons supportive of reparations wish to privately fund these initiatives they are more than welcome to do so.
