As a first-generation American, born to an immigrant single mother, I understand the value of respecting our founding liberties and the importance of instituting common sense policies for our communities. I understand the value of safety, parental rights, freedom of choice, lower taxes, and all workers as essential. California’s quality of life and once rich job opportunity landscape have been on a downward trajectory for decades. However, the policies of the one-party rule have dramatically made matters worse, and you don’t have to look far to see the results for yourself. Violent crime is up by 86%, homicides up 46%, and homelessness is up by 20%, despite spending billions on the issue, California leads the nation with the highest gas prices and taxes as well. It’s time to turn California around, my sole purpose is to give the California citizen what has been deprived to them for far too long- a fighting chance at the California dream.
  • No one knows what is better for a child than their own families. Parents must have the final say in their children's lives; from choices in healthcare, to choices in education. No government should ever have the final say over a parent's right to the choices for their children.
  • Victims of crimes must not face vicitimzation twice - once from the criminal and once from our government that does not help them. We must hold all criminals fairly accountable and we must stop this "revolving door" that allows those that harm our families and friends from continuing to do so again.
  • Homelessness is the #1 Humanitarian Crisis facing Los Angeles. We must declare a State of Emergency, use the vast, untouched, resources such as our empty government owned buildings here in Los Angeles, house these Americans, offer mental health services; offer a path forward - ultimately offer to teach and man to fish.
The areas of public policy which I am personally passionate about is limiting the scoop and reach of Government, and suppot each individual commutiy
