Collapse all
|Louis Marinelli is a Republican by party affiliation, but is not a conservative ideologue. He supports a taxpayer-funded public healthcare option to provide basic health care services for all, universal Pre-K from the age of three, eighteen months of paid maternity leave to allow mothers to bond with their newborn children, comprehensive police and criminal justice reforms, and a legal status for undocumented immigrants living and paying taxes in California.
Meanwhile, Marinelli opposes the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools and likewise opposes paying out reparations. He supports school choice, parental rights, the right to bear arms, efforts to limit government power, and although he is not religious, he is pro-life. Louis has been a vocal opponent of government lockdowns and mask mandates during the pandemic and opposes mandatory vaccination.- Independence will be on the ballot this year in California.
- A vote for Marinelli is a vote for #Calexit.
- An Independence leader for the next generation of Californians.
Louis Marinelli is passionate about protecting civil liberties just as much as he cares about protecting civil rights. That's why he supports medical freedom, the decriminalization of drugs, and the legalization of sex work. He wants to enact comprehensive police and criminal justice reform, and demilitarize the police.
We need to invest in more infrastructure and technology to collect, store, and transport water across California and we need to properly manage our forests. We need to balance the importance of combating climate change and shifting towards greener and cleaner energy production with the necessity of avoiding rolling blackouts. We need to come up with innovative solutions in addition to taking obvious steps to tackle the homelessness crisis, and we need to get government out of the way of building more housing. We also need to create an incentive program that encourages the construction and purchasing of homes in inland California.
