Criminal Justice / Public Safety Rising violence and crime are making our kids less safe. Now, gated-community career politicians even want to ‘Defund the Police.’ No way. I’ll put your safety first. I’ll fight against the ‘Defund the Police’ crowd. I’ll work hard to make sure our kids are safe in our schools and public spaces. And I’ll make sure our homeless get the help they need. Economy As a local farmer and businessman, I know what it’s like to build a business from scratch and to hit some bumps along the way. I know that if we make sure we have lower prices, more water, and fairer laws, we’ll have good-paying Valley jobs for everyone. Infrastructure / Transportation We need water for our farms. As a farmer and a businessman here in our Valley, I know how important water is to our working families and our family farms. The politicians talk about making sure we have enough water, but at the end of the day, they’ve gotten nothing done. Career politicians have looked out for big donors and special interests on the Coast, while our canals run empty. We’ve had enough empty talk, we need real results. Education As your Congressman, I will work hard to get schools back to basics and make sure that every student has the support they need in the classroom. I support school choice so our kids can find an environment that meets their needs. Taxes / Budget As your Congressman I’ll do the right thing – I’ll vote to suspend the gas tax and cut fuel and food prices.
