Ballotpedia biographical submission form
The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I strongly support President Trump and I will fight to clean house in Washington DC. I am a pro-taxpayer, pro-family, pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-military Christian conservative. My wife and I have been married for over 35 years, and we've raised our children here in Southern California. We believe America is at a true crossroads, yet some Republicans in Congress have joined Democrats in opposing the President. That's outrageous! I will fight to build the border wall and end sanctuary city policies. I strongly oppose amnesty for illegal aliens, and I will ensure that ICE works hand-in-hand with local law enforcement. I support our military. Nations like North Korea and Iran must respect our strength and ability to protect our nation. When they don't I want swift action to ensure our security. As a Constitutional conservative, I'll fight to preserve our Second Amendment rights, and I'll only support judges who believe the same. Here in California, I'll join efforts to repeal job killing regulations, rebuild roads, and overturn the disastrous gas tax hike. I'm tired of do-nothing, fake Republicans. We don't need another ""establishment"" candidate representing us in Congress. I'm a CPA and taxpayer advocate. I've fought for families and businesses who were unfairly targeted by the IRS. I campaigned for President Trump, and my team includes those who led the Trump effort here in California. I believe in America first. Build the wall. Stop the gas tax. Drain the swamp. I would be honored to have your support.[5] |
