United States SenateCandidate for Senator

Local, state and federal sources under the USDOT, CALTrans, and county and local transportation programs.  I would also include public-private transportation initiatives.  Our infrastructure is aging at a rapid pace and we must make repairs a top priority.  Things often get done in the private sector at a pace that public providers cannot achieve.

I believe that the most affordable health care can be achieved through competition among private health care providers; that minimal participation in and regulation of health care should involve the federal government.  I would protect Medicare.  I would fight any government requirement mandating health care.

In 2016, I ran for the U.S. Senate proposing a moratorium on immigration until such time as we could determine who's hear already and what their status was/is.  Little has happen to slow the pace of immigrants entering our country and deportation has not kept up with the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S.  I would support a policy that provides limits on immigration per year, provide a period for immigrants to obtain citizenship within 6 months, accept DACA, and expedite deportation.

I would not support SB1263. a bill banning small water agencies.  I would support AB2594 proposing the capturing of stormwater for a variety of uses.

The State needs a plan to identify and prioritize water resource management.  While expensive, the State needs to determine where deslination is possible and enourage the constrution of desalination plants strategically located throughout the State.  Hydro-electric power should be encouraged.

I'm extremely concerned that some parents, school districts, and cities have lowered the bar in terms of what is acceptable behavior.  Extremes include liberal judges and administrators offering 'free zones' that coddle students rather than helping them face the realities of life and Common Core offering American History as an 'option.'  There's been a significant up-tick in liberal educational facilities and teachers and professors teaching only one side of an issue or ideology.  We should be demanding much, much more from our educators and not being afraid of firing educators who cannot pass their own courses.  Social media and fake news has evolved to the point that filters are needed to enjoin these providers in 'reporting' the news rather than 'making' the news.  Many people are given an entirely different and biased view of news that have illicited unlawful behavior.
