My wife Cathy Herrick, a school board member, and I are committed to elected public service. My daughters, Dr. Nicole Herrick-Gorman and Elizabeth Herrick, a Cal-State business major, are a source of great pride to me.
- Sacramento politicians have made living in California too expensive. Excessive taxes, excessive fees and burdensome regulations drive up costs to Californian's
- The California epidemic of homelessness can be traced to the excessive costs of living in California. "Make California Cheap Again" We can't alone build our way out of homelessness.
- The California Dream is alive but not for working families and the middle class. The hemorrhaging of Californian's to more affordable states demonstrates the lack of respect Sacramento has for it citizens.
Traffic in the mountains and high desert is increasingly worse each year. Centralized mass transit near high density housing will work in major metropolitan areas but in our rural and high desert areas another solution is necessary. Improved district wide smart roads and along with a better business environment and job creation is needed
Concentration of power/votes in coastal cities has left many inland regions without a proper say in the future of California. Miss understanding lack of respect may be the reason for this inequity.
Our district needs to be heard loud and clear that our quality of life and the California Dream is being diminished with big city type state policies that are not working statewide.
