Campaign website

Brock's campaign website stated the following:

COVID-19

I feel that COVID has been used by politicians and others in power to push narratives and ideas. All jobs are essential! No person should be forced to wear a mask, get a vaccine, or be excluded from employment or activities because of a personal choice. Teacher unions have hijacked the classrooms and School Boards have shown their cards. Parents are rallying together and are sick of it. We need to continue fighting for the protection of parental rights, gender specific sports, and the prevention of CRT curriculum.


National Security/Military

Without secure borders and a powerful military, we as a country are vulnerable to bad actors. We need secure borders to prevent illegal immigrants from entering our country and putting a strain on our resources. We must move our military forces back in the direction of precision and superiority and away from the woke narrative currently on display. Election integrity is needed in the form of voter ID laws and elimination of mass mail in ballots. Perhaps a no fee passport to all U.S. Citizens?


Energy

The left has been pushing the green narrative for years now and it is beginning to show its colors. We have shut down vital projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline and many others. We have oil in this country and should be using our own resources, not importing. We also need to explore the use of nuclear energy as it is reliable, safe, and clean.


Infrastructure

The infrastructure of this country is slowly failing due to mismanagement of your tax dollars. California is ground zero for this as evidenced by the failing roads and utility systems. Many of these structures and networks are far beyond their useful life and need to be repaired or replaced NOW. We need to ensure that funds are directed where they should be and that projects are not held up for years due to environmental and permitting burdens. Funding for projects such as the high speed rail in California needs to be ceased immediately.


2nd Amendment

I believe that the Second Amendment is a God given right that shall be protected at all costs.[2]
