HIGH TAXES have me frustrated! There is no accountability for the taxes we already pay and yet they continue to ask for more!
Having an inside look at our education system I have first hand experience in how we can improve standards, safety, quality of instruction with little to no costs. I have worked in both private and public schools and I know there is a desire for safe schools committed to higher standards in our communities. We can PROTECT PROP 13 & have better education! Let a teacher make that argument for you!
I am frustrated to see there is no plan to try and turn things around and start shining a light on the ridiculous policies of the Democrat Party! They are destroying our state and driving families out of California. Sacramento is broken and politics as usual is just not getting the job done. DON"T VOTE IN MORE POLITICIANS! Help me bring common sense to Sacramento!
- Fight to reduce taxes & regulations
- Education Reform is desperately needed to increase student outcomes and keep our students safe.
- Homeless Crisis needs to be addressed with a level of seriousness we have not seen yet.
Our Education system ranks 49th in the nation and that seems something Republicans have not been able to take advantage of as they continue to lose seats in the State Assembly. All students are not meant for college and we need to promote the Trades and encourage greater local control. Private/Public partnerships can help create career paths for students who are interested in career training and not college.
Many running for this position are just adding a notch in their belt and using this position as a stepping stone in their political career. I am on a mission to make changes to education and give Republicans a path forward to get more support for their policies. We need to get California moving in the RIGHT DIRECTION!
I also was part of the mobilization for war during Desert Shield/Storm. The military is where I learned both mental and physical toughness. I am so proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with my brothers in arms during that time. Today I STAND in awe of our current soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen who defend us during our War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq and beyond.
