Campaign themes
2016
Nakanishi's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
High Speed Rail I oppose the high speed rail project. It has been called a "white elephant", a "boondoggle", and "a train to nowhere!" The business plan is flawed, costs are ballooning with no foreseeable funds for completion, and millions for ongoing operations. Taxpayers are on the hook for $68 Billion and growing. That is $1,700 for every person in California or $6,800 for a family of four. I support Assembly Bill 1866 which takes bullet train funding, and instead, uses those funds for more water storage. Twin Tunnels We must stop the Twin Tunnels. It will destroy our multi-billion dollar farm industry. Besides harming farms, the salt water intrusion into our waterways and aquifers will jeopardize water quality for humans, fish, and the environment. Second Amendment I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment of the Constitution. I oppose gun control because it unconstitutional. A person has right to protect themselves. Data has shown that gun control laws do not work. Time and again, in cities like Washington, DC and Chicago, the murder rate has increased after implementing strict gun control laws.[1] |
