Political Beliefs
Position Papers
Public Safety
Summary
As a State Senator, I will Vote to Approve any bill that Increases Public Safety on our Streets & in Our Schools. I will "Refund" the Police and Never Defund Police.
Government's first and foremost obligation is to protect the people from all enemies foreign and domestice. Without Law, there is No order. I wiill abide by the Constitution and its Amemndments to ensure safety and freedom.
Homeless Care
Summary
Homelessness is a Humanitarian Crisis that affects us all.
Homelessness is a non-partisan issue that is multifaceted and fixable. As a state senator, I will treat this issue with compassion and urgency. Aside from housing, our homeless must be provided with treatment programs in accordance to their needs. This is not a money issue but rather a matter of logistics and strategic planning.
Taxes and Inflation
Summary
Taxes and Inflation are crippling families and businesses.
As a State Seantor, I will work towards reducing taxes for businesses as well as individuals. I will work toward creating a gas tax holiday until fuel prices stabilize and return pre-covid pricing. Our Governor claims that California is experiencing a budget surplus. If so, these tax funds should go back to the people, especially during these trying financial times that are rife with inflation.
