Campaign themes

State spending

  • "Reform public employee pensions to eliminate "spiking," "double-dipping" and disability retirement abuse."
  • "Place a lifetime cap on pension benefits to public employees."
  • "Cap budget increases to inflation plus population growth."
  • "Work to consolidate or eliminate state agencies."

Public safety

  • "Stop the realignment of prisoners from prisons to county jails, resulting in the early release of inmates."
  • "In budget battles, support police and firefighters first"
  • "Seek reimbursement from the Federal government for costs associated with its failure to protect the borders."

Jobs

  • "Create tax credits for companies that invest in California facilities."
  • "Revise the Workers' Compensation system to reduce costs and eliminate fraud."
  • "Reduce regulations and the costs of compliance."

Education

  • "More money in the classroom, not in the administration office"
