My Top 3 Priorities
- Public Safety - Let's put victims first by punishing criminals and getting Fentanyl off our streets
- Inflation and Rising Costs - we need to cut overregulation to create more jobs and build more market rate housing to lower costs to the middle class
- Water - Ag is still the backbone of our Valley economy. The Central Valley needs regular access to dependable water supply to ensure rural communities have jobs and crops are produced.
