| Collapse all
- Californians have lost faith in career politicians. Incumbents deceptively divide us each election cycle with emotion-based agendas to distract us from their failed partisan policies. Despite our size, revenue, and environmental advantages, we are lacking leadership in California. We have voted into office politicians who are more concerned with re-election and voting within party lines, than solving the real problems that have impacted us for decades. I am running as a public servant and community leader, to achieve the results that incumbent politicians have failed to deliver for years.
- After 23 years in California, I have the duty as a husband, father, U.S. Army veteran, Latino, and fellow citizen to bring positive change back to California as a public servant. My leadership experience in military, law, and business will empower me to provide you the results you deserve, including better education for our children, improved quality of life for our families, a safer community, and a stronger business economy.
- I will humbly serve as the unifying voice of our community so that our local family values, that so many of us share, can be reflected again in our laws. I will serve as a fellow citizen to unite the various needs of our district into moderate, non-partisan policies that are grounded in common sense and focused on where it matters most for you. United we stand—in values. You will have a trusted voice and representative of the people of our District-15 in Sacramento with me as your next California Senator. It is your choice. You have the power. Use your vote to allow me to be a public servant for our community.
Safer Communities
Stronger Business Economy
