AB 109

Democratic Governor Jerry Brown signed this reform bill into law in April 2011 in an effort to lessen overcrowding in state prison. This reform removed nonviolent offenders from state prisons to county jails or placed them under county supervision rather than parole.

PROPOSITION 47

Our uninformed voters in California approved this measure in November 2014. This measure downgraded drug possession and some thefts from felonies to misdemeanors and allowed tens of thousands of former offenders to remove felonies from their records. This allows repeat offenders to break the law with little consequence.

Truth: This measure was masked as the “Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act.” In fact, this measure reduces the penalties for many serious crimes like gun theft, possession of date rape drugs, and identity fraud that will lead to more crime and more criminals in our neighborhoods. This measure puts your neighborhoods at risk. Of the 3,177 offenders in state prison who would be eligible for re-sentencing under Prop 47, only 77 are first-time offenders. This Proposition provides no supervision, accountability, or treatment for addicted offenders.

PROPOSITION 57

It sought to accomplish three things:

1. Grant a parole hearing to nonviolent felons who’ve served the full sentence for their primary offense.
2. Offer sentence credit to inmates who engage in rehabilitative and educational programs.
3. Allow judges to decide whether a juvenile should be tried as an adult.

Truth: Masked as the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016, and supported by two thirds of California voters, Prop 57 allows violent, convicted felons to receive parole after serving only a small portion of their sentences. This proposition is not limited just to nonviolent offenders. It will release a host of violent criminals convicted of violent crimes back into our communities without any consequences or supervision. We are all aware that our communities have experienced a steady crime increase in almost all categories. (Smash and Grab Robberies and others.)

Since the signing of AB 109 in April 2011, Prop 47 in 2014, and Prop 57 in 2016, violent crime has been on the rise in California. The residents of Los Angeles County are feeling the surge. With limited patrol resources, officers are continuing to respond from call to call and once a suspect is arrested, is released on a “No Bail” to go right back out and commit additional crimes against victims.

I will work WITH our Law Enforcement/Public Safety officials to make sure they have the laws and tools to combat this revolving door of repeat offenders. I will make sure that our District Attorneys ENFORCE the laws on the books and not their own progressive ideologies that have hurt our quality-of-life issues in our homes, communities, and businesses. It is time to put VICTIMS of crimes first! I will work to change these holes in the laws to make sure we have programs for offenders to get back on the right track and stop offending. Without these types of programs, this revolving door will keep turning these repeat offenders right back out committing more crimes and victims in their path.

Decisions about medical treatments are each person’s right to make, not the government’s. Parents should be able to decide whether or not their child gets vaccinated, it should not be mandated.
People should not lose their jobs or get suspended from work because they choose not to get a vaccine.
Children should not be banned from attending in-person school because their parents choose not to have their children get a vaccine or wear a mask.
People should not have to sign away their privacy rights by being forced to upload medical information to a vaccine passport, which is a digital ID database used for government surveillance.

Ban lobbying for CCP linked military and intelligence companies.
Ban joint US/China research conducted by US universities, companies, and investors that leak important intelligence and military information to the CCP.
