My Top 3 Priorities

  • Reduce the cost of living in California by reducing fee's and taxes that get passed along to California Consumers
  • Reduce Crime in the High Desert - People are frightened by the high crime rates in increasing violent assaults
  • Use good science to fight Covid 19 and reopen our economy keeping our business open and people employed

The High Cost of Living

Summary

The High cost of living due to taxs, fees and regressive burdons put on business get passed along to residents.  

This is Rick Herrick candidate for the State Assembly and I don’t have to tell you that California is teetering on the brink of self destruction.  The homelessness epidemic is just a symptom.   The real affliction is the ridiculous California cost of living.   As Mayor and a business owner I know that we can do better. High property taxes, gas taxes, burdensome regulations and high utility costs are making housing in California unaffordable. Sacramento has put us in hole and yet the coastal politicians won’t stop digging, and by the way digging into our pockets.  I am Rick Herrick and as your Assemblyman I won’t be going to Sacramento to make friends, I am asking for your vote so together we can take a stand.  With your help, we can be a great state again.
