In January 2021, I was appointed a delegate of San Francisco Republican Party, then voted in as Volunteer Vice Chair. I’m a State Delegate to the California Republican Party. I was active with both the successful recall of the District Attorney Chesa Boudin and the three San Francisco School Board Members.
I volunteer and advocate for Robert Kennedy Juniors Foundation Children’s Health Defense, Howard Jarvis Repeal the Death Tax, and Protect Kids California.
“Keeping Us Safe” is of my primary. I will work to increase prosecution and penalties for violent criminals, fund and support law enforcement efforts, which policy includes better support for first responder’s, crime victims and those suffering with severe mental illness.
Reviving our state’s economy is crucial for retaining jobs and maintaining a high quality of life. I will author legislation to reduce unfair regulations and excessive taxation.
A solid education is the best remedy for the success of our children.
- Improve public safety - I support funding of law enforcement, increase penalties on violent criminals and fentanyl dealers, human traffickers and pedophiles, and revising Prop 47. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, only 4 percent of the people arrested for drug sale in the Tenderloin are convicted. We must have a more effective enforcement system.
- Economic Revitalization - We need to reduce regulations and taxation to stimulate the economy and to keep companies form leaving our state. We must continue to reduce inflation. We need better job-training programs to help our citizens find good-paying jobs.
- Education - I favor a merit-based education where we refocus our children's education on reading, writing and arithmetic, not social justice issues. We need to prioritize helping children who have fallen behind so they can get up to grade level. Parents must know what is being taught in their children's schools and no secrets are kept form parents.
work to increase prosecution and penalties for violent criminals. We need to fully fund and
support local law enforcement efforts and cease being a haven for crime. Public Safety must
come first for a civilized society.
Protecting children from the dangers of irreversible sterilization as well as girls and women's sports.
