Repeal of the Renewable Energy Mandates, that mandate some percent of the state's electricty be generated from renewable sourecs . Since most renewable energy sources are not at this time cost effective, the result is higher prices for consumers. Overall the state should strive to reduce regulation and promote competition.
No, I do not support increasing the minium wage. The government should not impose wage hikes on the free market. As wages are forced to be increased , businesses will hire less people and rely more on automation. Increasing the minimum wage also increases the cost of goods and services which increases everyone's cost of living.

My political philiosophy can be summed up as the following : Fiscally conservative and socially moderate. I think the smaller the government the better the government.
I’m running for State Senate District 7 in California because for too long we have been represented by the same group of people in the legislature who do not represent the interests of all the people in this district. For to long our leaders in the legislature have been distracted by issues of no benefit to the people of this district. I am a leader who will work to change that.
The California economy is a tale of two economies. One educated and well off, enjoying the advantages of a high income and upward mobility, the other struggling to make ends meet in a service economy which seems like an endless race to the bottom of the economic ladder.
I put myself before you as a candidate who will work to create ladders of success for our young and underemployed workers by working to improve the skill sets of our workforces. I will partner with local leaders to attract companies to our communities to bring good paying jobs.
Government cannot create prosperity. But Government can set the framework for people to be empowered to act in their own self interest to create great communities.
If you elect me to this office I promise you that I will work as a tireless advocate for the people of this district. I will relentlessly pursue your interests and will not be swayed by the political winds of the moment.
