Rudy Mendoza was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 26 of the California State Assembly. He ran unsuccessfully for the same seat in 2014.

Campaign themes

2014

Mendoza's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]

  • Excerpt: "If entrusted as your representative, I will fight to make government your partner, not your opponent. We need to strip away the layers of bureaucracy, mandates, and taxes that stifle entrepreneurship. California has many resources that other states envy – our climate, location, and natural resources, to name a few – but our single greatest resource is the creative and hard-working people of this great state. They are like no one else on Earth, and they deserve a government that encourages their unique talents instead of stifling them."
