Craig brings a life long commitment to conservative principles and beliefs. As an Evangelical Christian he is a strong defender of religious liberty and will make issues of faith his highest priority as well as border security and immigration. Craig also strongly agrees with and supports the Tea Party Patriots. He supports and would join and seek to lead the Tea Party Caucus and the Freedom Caucus in Congress. Craig fully supports our President Donald J. Trump.  

"I decided the voters of the 49th Congressional District deserved to have a choice of a true social & economic conservative and someone with a proven record in business to bring common sense ideas and true traditional conservatism to this important congressional seat. I will lead and not follow, and I will stand to go on the offense to return common sense and the rule of law to our great country"!

Craig A. Nordal has lived and worked in the 49th Congressional District for 29 years since 1989 when he moved his family to live in Encinitas, CA. He started his highly successful business in real estate valuation, consulting, sales & expert witness and has raised his family here.

Craig began serving the Republican Party when he was elected to be his HOA President and started leading his precinct as a Republican Party precinct captain for many years. He then founded the North Coast Republican Club where he served as President, Vice President & Treasurer. Soon after that he was asked to become a member of the San Diego County Republican Party Central Committee.

My husband and I have built a community health care practice from one 700-square foot space to seven locations employing more than 140 people who treat more than 6,500 patients throughout North County San Diego.  As CFO, I’ve worked with patients and insurance companies and see the dramatic rise in the costs of healthcare because of Obamacare.  I support the complete repeal of Obamacare with a healthcare system that puts patients first, drives down costs, and eliminates the individual mandate.  Association health plans, insurers providing coverage across state lines, and 100% deductibility for healthcare expenses are just a few ways we can lower costs.

San Diego is fortunate to have a strong regional border in large part because we already have a wall in place.  However, there are still vulnerabilities that allow human and drug trafficking, and other criminal activities.  That is why it is important to enforce federal immigration laws, including opposition to so-called “sanctuary” laws being advocated by Sacramento politicians.  As elected leaders, we have an obligation to respect the law, whether we agree with it or not.  

Reform of our immigration system is critical to our national security as well as our regional economy.  San Diego’s life sciences and technology need more high-skilled workers and I support expanding H1B visas while we develop more STEM graduates in the U.S. to fill those jobs.

The GOP tax reform bill signed into law last year provides a $3,561 tax cut for the average middle-class family in the 49th District.  As CFO of my family’s small business, I learned first-hand the challenges of growing a business with unnecessarily high and complicated taxes and I strongly supported the tax reform bill.  I see the direct impact that our tax code has on families and small businesses and as a member of Congress, I will vote to make it permanent.  I support the repeal of the gas tax, which directly impacts every family in the 49th District, as well as the Cap & Trade Gas Tax, which will drive taxes up as high as 73 cents a gallon.

"I would like to have the wisdom to guide California and the United States into a better future and an understanding heart to leave no one behind."
-David Medway M.D. paraphrased from King Solomon

I am Dr. David Medway, a Board-certified Internal Medicine physician, medical site director, small business owner, husband and father.  My career is devoted to making good decisions to solve complex life and death problems for everyday people - regardless of their personal background - so that they can be healthy and strong.   I am not a career politician. My interest in politics is spurred by a desire to bring a better quality of life to Southern California than has ever been seen before. I work with a talented team of nurses, staff and care-givers to save lives and get the job done right everyday.

I will bring the same passion that I have in medicine to working hard in Congress to make our country strong and you proud.  Here are some of the issues that your neighbors are talking about and what I want to do to help resolve these issues.

Pro Health and Affordable Healthcare:   Americans should not die from lack of health insurance and Medicare should not be dismantled.  Government and private insurers should compete to keep costs down.

Pro Senior Citizens:

I will work hard to protect our vulnerable seniors.  The way we treat our elderly population is a reflection of the identity of our Nation.

Pro Education:  Every American deserves a top quality education.  Our universities are more competitive than ever for admission but high quality education is becoming out of reach for our hard-working families.  We need a fair and transparent process to give our local kids the best education in the world without burdening families and young people with huge bills.

Pro Veterans and Innovative Solutions to Gun Violence:  Schools need to be safe and protected using innovative volunteer programs where our distinguished veterans keep a watchful eye on our schools.

Preparedness for Disasters:  Strict vigilance must be maintained to prevent contagious disease outbreaks from hepatitis, flu and other pathogens as well as prevention of sewage spills from Mexico on to our shores.  Earthquake and fire preparedness and terror attack prevention need to be constantly addressed.

Pro Environment:

We must remove and clean the San Onofre nuclear waste as quickly as possible.  We must not allow countries or companies to pollute our water. If our oceans are polluted by sewage spills from Mexico, we should consider closing the Mexican border until Mexico can keep our neighboring border area clean and safe.

Pro Military:

We must support our active military and veterans and treat them with dignity and the respect that they have earned in their call to duty.  Having worked in VA hospitals, I know that we can do better.

Pro Women:

I will always stand up to protect women's rights.  Women should feel safe and empowered and be able to access reproductive choices in their healthcare.  I am a pro-choice candidate.

Pro fiscal responsibility:

Our Nation's debt is set to have interest costs alone that will triple over the next decade as it approaches one trillion dollars with no end in sight unless we are fiscally responsible.  We need to pay down our debt so future generations are not burdened by it.

Pro Net Neutrality:

The information superhighway should leave no one behind no matter the level of economic or social status.

Pro inclusiveness:

I stand for listening to your problems and ideas and trying to make good things happen for you and our beautiful Coastal Southern California community.

There are no do-overs when ill people cannot afford high quality healthcare.

There are no do-overs when gun violence comes to our communities.

There are no do-overs when families are torn apart because of jail terms that limit non-violent offenders' chances at working and being rehabilitated.

There are no do-overs when outbreaks of epidemic disease come to our shores.

There are no do-overs when nuclear material or oil spills on our beautiful beaches.

There are no do-overs when our borders are not protected and our military is not adequately funded or supported.

There are no do-overs when women are afraid to speak about injustice or not able to get excellent healthcare.

There are no do-overs when our elderly population is not protected from financial hardship and their hard-earned Social Security benefits are taken away

There are no do-overs when good jobs go away, taxes spiral out of control and the high cost of living diminishes our quality of life.

There are no do-overs when political divisiveness turns neighbors against each other.

You deserve a government that is responsive to problems, finds solutions and uses good judgment.  I have demonstrated my commitment to fighting for the lives of Californians and getting excellent results.  I humbly ask for your vote so that I can stand up for Southern California because there are no do-overs for the critical issues we face.   Please vote for a better way....vote for Dr. David Medway.

There are many issue I would like to help our country fix. One of those issues is Homelessness. We have a growing homeless population in Southern California that needs to be addressed. I have called the local homeless shelters and spoken to many people that have great ideas and information. There are four basic groups of homeless people each needing a different type of help. First is people that have lost their jobs, house and need help getting back on their feet. These people just need the opportunity to get back on their feet. There are pilot programs that people work for the city or county and get paid minimum wage and live in free housing temporarily with vocational training if needed till they can get back on their feet. The next group is actually two groups first is due to generational poverty and second are people who have done time in prison. This group of people are unable to hold jobs because they don't have the parent taught skills which most of us take for granted, like getting up on time for work, doing chores, doing normal day to day things to take care of their own health. These people would need more help then the first group. They need a very structured type environment to learn basic skills to function in basic society. So more housing and personal coaches and vocational training would be needed to help this group become functional members of society. The next group is the Mentally Ill these people don't have the mental capacity to keep a job or need medical attention or medication to be able to function in society. When all the mental institutions were shut down all the people who didn't have families to take care of them became homeless. How do we fix this? My solution is to set up Church run Mental Illness hospitals with federal funding. The churches have the caring and compassion more then the state run mental institutions of the past. How do we pay for that you say? We spend billions of dollars in foreign aid to countries that hate us. We spend billions of dollars to house our troops in foreign countries. We spend billions of dollars rebuilding infrastructure in countries we have bombed to pieces. We need to take care of Americans first. We don't need to raise taxes, We are already taxed enough. 

Right now, we have a porous border anyone can sneak into our country. A wall is fiscally cheaper then no wall. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimated that erecting a system of walls and fences along the entire U.S.-Mexico border would require $21.6 billion. Ever year taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens, and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member and a total of $115,894,597,664. The total cost of illegal immigration to U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling. Let's build a wall. it will cut down the risk of deaths of people wanting to enter through the desert and enter the country illegally. On the other side of this is immigration. I am for legal immigration into this country. When you live in the greatest country in the world people want to come here to live. I believe they should have that opportunity. I believe also that the immigration system is broken. When you have a person living in the country for 30 years and unable to get his citizenship and gets deported and is a productive member in his community with a family. Something needs to change. I would change it by increasing the yearly number of people that can be made naturalized citizens a year. I would also remove the requirement to leave the country back to country of origin. If you are here waiting your turn to become a citizen a worker's visa would be required to work on the path towards citizenship. Also, citizens of the United States speak English. If people want to pursue the American dream they must integrate into our society. That doesn't mean forgetting their own culture but embracing both.

Our government has a spending problem, our country is 21.1 Trillion dollars in debt. Our yearly spending deficit is 740 billion dollars. We spend way too much on everything. Endless wars on terror. Foreign aid to other countries that hate us. We have American troops in somewhere around 177 countries around the world. We need to have a balanced budget by cutting spending. Having so many troops around the world doesn't always make it safer for us in the United States. Why don't we cut down the number of bases we have worldwide and bring some of those troops home.
