Rhonda Furin
My Top 3 Priorities
- Education: Our educational system should not be one-size-fits-all but localized as much as possible. Some positive options include school choice programs, merit-based teacher pay, and charter schools.
- Stopping Socialism: It is the free market principles I believe in, that our Founding Fathers believed in that allowed this country to flourish, that has brought more people out of poverty than any other government program, and will continue to do so.
- Bringing Back The California Dream: Housing has become unaffordable. Regulations on business have gotten out of control. We can bring back prosperity by cutting red tape, cutting taxes, and fixing our infrastructure.

Questions from League of Women Voters of California Education Fund (3)
There needs to be afforable housing developments designed and built for specific needs to a local community. I advocate for Smart Cities improving infrastructure, efficiency, and quality of life for it's residents and visitors.
We need to address the reason for homlessness. Cognitive testing for individuals needs to be addressed. We need hospitals with appropriate care to deal with mental state, addiction issues, and personal life skills and abilities.
I support the building of water reservoirs, desalination plants, and rainwater harvesting.

Political Beliefs
Political Philosophy
I opened the Rhonda Furin Foundation because too often, California politicians sacrifice the liberty of their constituents for political expediency. By doing this they prioritize their political goals over the needs of those they are supposed to represent. This is unacceptable. The foundation believes that the best way to protect the freedoms bestowed upon us by our Creator is to demand accountability of those in power while educating our neighbors of excessive government overreach into their lives. We are dedicated and focused on returning power to The People. www.RhondaFurin.org
