I'm not just a proud American, but also a successful businesswoman, a devoted grandmother, and an impassioned community organizer. I have made my mark in the world of business, proving time and again that with hard work and determination, anyone can succeed in this country, regardless of their origins. As a grandmother, I understands the importance of family and the future we create for our children and grandchildren.
-
I am a person who believes in our values and I love this country. Coming from a Family of 10, facing everyday struggles I had a short time in foster care & and I know how important the family unit is, and preserving America.
- I'm very qualified to be the wise and courageous leader we need in Sacramento. My husband and I have been owners of retail businesses for over 39 years in the Los Angeles area. The obstacles of running a small business under California’s high taxes, overregulation, the diminishing economy, and the unfair China trade deals, have been challenging—but also a great learning experience and motivator for her to jump into politics at this crucial time in our country’s history. I have a long record of serving her community and I held many positions of leadership.
- Born in Montreal, I speaks with a French-Canadian accent and has plenty to say. I'm running on a platform of “Faith, Family and Freedom.” I will stand against the flawed Green New Deal, the attacks on fossil fuels, the open border, illegal immigration, human trafficking and drugs, rising crime, defunding of the police, the unconstitutional COVID-19 closures and mandates, the “woke” sexualized school system, a weakened military, the censoring of conservative speech, and foreign companies buying U.S. land.
There are many issues tearing down our country, destroying the economic and moral fabric of the America we know and love. I'm anxious to tackle each one of these problems with insight, knowledge, commonsense, courage and a respect for our Constitution. I'm a leader, not a career politician. “We’re losing our freedoms and our children! Without freedom, we have nothing. Defending freedom is my number one priority!”

Campaign website
Volotzky's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
IMMIGRATION Illegal immigration brings crime, drugs and human trafficking to our neighborhoods. We need to close the border so they can come in the right way, the legal way.
We have the highest inflation in 40 years. It was caused by printing too much money, and that devalues the dollar, which gives us the higher cost of goods, foods, and health care. We need to bring back the corporation from overseas and create jobs.
Homelessness encourages tents on our sidewalks and pathways. We need more shelters and rehabilitation groups. Some religious groups are doing their part, but we need more.
Our parental rights are under attack in our schools. The government has no business determining our children’s futures. Parents know what’s best for educating their children. Let’s fight for School Choice.
Public Safety has been hurt by defunding the police. Criminals have been released, and more and more men and women in uniform been murdered. I say don’t defund the police, defend the police! We have to stand with our men and women in uniform to protect our cities, state, and country.
In the last 40 years, we have lost so many small businesses, and one reason is the trade imbalance with China. In 1990 the census reported the imbalance was $10 billion dollars. In 2021, it was $355 billion dollars. Let’s bring back business from China.
No transgender should participate in our women’s sport!
Given the current environment with misguided justice policies which have released thousands of individuals into our neighborhoods, who are violent, mentally ill and or who are chronic offenders, the right and responsibility for my safety, my family and yes, your family depends on our commitment to protecting our 2nd Amendment Rights.[3] |
