As a life-long resident of the Monterey Peninsula, I appreciate the beauty and community we enjoy in the 20th Congressional District of California. Serving the community as Representative to the National Capitol would be a tremendous honor. I believe in the power of America. And my belief in a healthy private economy has grown to be a passion.

From early in life, I recall pondering the totalitarian politics manifest during World War II by socialist governments in Italy and Germany. How could that happen? Throughout my childhood, we lived for years under threat of nuclear war with organized International Communism under the Soviets. How could they think Communism would work? And now, we face another tremendous challenge to the American Way of Life: the current state-run Corporatism of today's China.

America is the leader of the Free World. We must accept that mantle. We must not appease malicious threats to navigation of trade. We must not accede to terrorism. And we must identify the threat of state-led industrial espionage by powers who are not our friends.
  • A strong economy helps all of our other priorities
  • National security is the primary reason for having a Federal Government
  • The US economy is great because of our industrious people and our freedoms, especially to keep private property. Local, State and Federal government must be reminded to respect our rights!
I was a paperboy from when I was 11 to 14 years old.
The US House of Representatives has an important obligation. It holds the 'power of the purse.' Balancing the budget of the Federal Government has slipped off the current House Leadership's agenda. Similarly, appropriating the funds to the budget must be timely.
One of the biggest challenges we face is turning over a country to the next generation, who may not understand why socialism is not the same as society. We face an onslaught of surveillance never before seen. It is the stuff of science fiction and dystopia, like 1984. Taming technology to allow for human dignity and privacy must be achieved to preserve the American tradition of Freedom.
Yes. The House is the place most responsive to the mood of the people. The two year cycle gives the people a chance to make a change, and to change back, when considering priorities. The Presidency and the US Senate, with longer terms, allow for less reactive, more deliberate leadership.
I would like to help Kevin McCarthy balance the budget when he becomes Speaker in 2021!
Yes, there is. However, it is quite confidential. I would cast a little light, though, on the need for the Federal Government to stick to the General Welfare, when it comes to domestic politics. We have a robust system with States who must balance their budgets and are charged with many human service roles. The Federal Government takes responsibility for National Security, monetary policy, border control and citizenship and health threats to the Nation as a whole. Making the Federal Government responsible for health outcomes of individuals turns the idea of Federalism on its head.
