Biography

Email editor@ballotpedia.org to notify us of updates to this biography.

Francisco holds a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in English from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Following college, he worked as a software engineer for a number of networking companies. Francisco then began working independently. He won a seat on the Santa Barbara City Council in 2007 and was defeated in a bid for mayor in 2009. He was then re-elected to the city council in 2011.[2]

Campaign themes

2014

Francisco's campaign website listed the following issues:[3]

  • Energy: "According to a federal government estimate, approximately 80% of America’s energy needs through 2035 will be met by the use of fossil fuels. We desperately need to increase our domestic oil production to ease our reliance on foreign oil."
  • Jobs and the Economy: "To get America working again we must promote the policies of lower, simpler taxes and reduced government regulation that will encourage new business start-ups and allow existing businesses to expand."
  • Federal Deficit/Balancing the Budget: "Our federal government must live within its means. Reckless spending has brought this country to the brink of default under the leadership of President Obama, Senator Reid, Representative Pelosi—and Congresswoman Capps."
  • Obamacare: "The Affordable Care Act took every aspect of government intervention in health care—such as mandated coverage and reimbursement rates below the cost of service—and made them worse. Lois Capps has enthusiastically backed the Unaffordable Care Act at every opportunity."
  • Immigration Reform: "Our immigration policy in this country is badly broken and in need of reform. The first step toward meaningful reform is securing our borders—including establishing a working entry and exit visa system—and ensuring that all existing laws regarding immigration are being enforced."
