Energy independence must be restored. America has the largest natural resources in the world for us to achieve energy independence and it is not being used. To ensure our freedom, these resources need to be utilized so that the American people and this nation or not at the mercy of foreign oil producing nations. America needs to be an energy exporting nation which will have a tremendous boost the out economy and improve affordability across the board. The advances in the safety of nuclear power dictates that a substantial investment should be made in the necessary infrastructure to boost this source of energy.

The livelihood of the American farmers, and the integrity of our food supply must be protected. Oppressive rules and regulations placed on American farmers jeopardizes, their livelihood and the quality of our food.

To ensure our freedom, these resources need to be utilized so that the American people and this nation or not at the mercy of foreign oil producing nations.

This would include parents right to medical freedom in raising their children.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

John McBride (R)

Our government was founded on the concept of personal liberty and freedom. Our rights must be protected, which is the rightful duty of our government today. With special interests, self interests, and the globalist agenda. Our freedom is under attack. The encroachment of our freedom under the auspices of protecting us is a false narrative, in order to gain control and manipulate We The People. Our freedoms must be protected at all costs. The constitution was designed to limit the power of the government not to restrict the rights of the people. America's citizens must come first.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

John McBride (R)

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here." - Patrick Henry The Founders in creating our Republic used the Bible more than any other source to frame our founding documents. For this reason, I believer the Bible to be the book to best understand my political philosophy.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

John McBride (R)

Integrity is the glue that holds our way of life together. We must constantly strive to keep our integrity intact. When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost."--Billy Graham

The House of Representatives is supposed to represent We The People, but it’s become a body that represents special interests, self interest and the globalist agenda. It’s filled with people whose character and integrity of what they demonstrate on the outside is not who they are in the inside. I am running for office to represent We The People for future generations. The people who represent us do not care about America and the people of America, but serve their special interest or self interest in the global agenda.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

John McBride (R)

Our government was founded on the concept of personal liberty and freedom. Our rights must be protected, which is the rightful duty of our government today. With special interests, self interests, and the globalist agenda. Our freedom is under attack. The encroachment of our freedom under the auspices of protecting us is a false narrative, in order to gain control and manipulate We The People. Our freedoms must be protected at all costs. The constitution was designed to limit the power of the government not to restrict the rights of the people.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

John McBride (R)

The first historical event I have any recollection of was the assassination for John F. Kennedy. I had just turned 3.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

John McBride (R)

My very first job was agricultural labor. I picked apples, baled hay and milked cows at 14 years of age. I worked on a farm for two years.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

John McBride (R)

Having had a long and successful career as a Strength and Conditioning Coach, I believe I have a lot to offer in the way of championing success in government. At the same time I believe as individuals climb the political ladder to rise to the top they are increasingly bought and paid for and no longer serve We The People who they are supposed to represent.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

John McBride (R)

Some of the greatest challenges facing the nation over the next decade are, in no particular order; Artificial Intelligence, the crushing national debt, lack of confidence in the electoral process and protecting our national sovereignty in an increasingly global agenda.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

John McBride (R)

Power intoxicates men. When a man is intoxicated by alcohol he can recover, but when intoxicated by power he seldom recovers. - James F. Byrnes The longer a representative is in office, the more power one accumulates. The more power one has the greater likelihood of being corrupted by that power. For this reason I do firmly believe in term limits in both the House and Senate.

What committees interest you?

John McBride (R)

Having numerous friends and former athletes that are part of California's great agricultural industry, I would be very interested in being on the Agriculture Committee. The livelihood of American farmers and the integrity of our food supply must be protected.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

John McBride (R)

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” -- Alexis de Tocqueville, French historian Not only does Congress bribe the public, but they serve special interests, self interests and the globalist agenda. Accountability to We The People and personal integrity are sorely missing in today’s elected officials. This needs to change for our Republic to survive. We The People should receive full transparency from the government on how every dollar is spent. We should know more about what the government is doing than what the government knows about how we are spending our money and what we are doing. We are their overseers, not the other way around.

• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
