Expand all | Collapse all

As a veteran, political outsider, and business owner I know how to create jobs, balance a budget, and know what it means to sign the front of the check and not the back and I'm asking to serve you. Business owners get their hands dirty and fix problems while career politicians roll up their sleeves and talk endlessly and do nothing. I will work for you, not Sacramento politicians.

I have spent a lifetime serving, working, and learning at the same time executing on opportunity. I will do the same for you, this is a calling and I am asking you to allow me to serve all of you and do the work that we can no longer ignore.

I will be an independent voice in Sacramento and will work to ensure good government is the rule not the exception.
  • I will fight to protect parental rights! Schools and government bureaucrats should stay out of your home and focus on the teaching of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Our children and family unit are the core of our society.
  • I will work to reduce government red tape which will reduce California inflation and taxes and Stand with law enforcement and support them in actually arresting criminals.
  • As a veteran, political outsider, and business owner I know how to create jobs, balance a budget, and know what it means to sign the front of the check and not the back and I'm asking to serve you. Business owners get their hands dirty and fix problems while career politicians roll up their sleeves and talk endlessly and do nothing. I will work for you, not Sacramento politicians. • Partner with the non-profit community to effectively address the homeless crisis. Homelessness is a mental health issue and not simply a housing issue. I will put forward solutions to get homeless off our streets permanently without spending another penny.
Parental rights are just common sense and must be protected. Taxes must be reduced through cutting government spending.
Strong, business, acumen, deep, understanding of economics, and problem-solving.
No, but I do believe they need to have experience in dealing with the government, especially from a business perspective and an economic perspective.
Compromises always part of life as well as politics.
