Guns In Congress, I will actively fight against efforts to curtail the right of responsible citizens to keep and bear arms to hunt and defend themselves. Taxes / Budget In Congress, I will fight to block the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents designed to harass, intimidate, and audit good-faith taxpayers. Environment / Energy I support reducing barriers to the construction of additional dams and reservoirs, increasing investment in water capture technologies. I also support renewing the key provisions of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act of 2016 to ensure that Federal water managers are using the most cutting edge science to guide decisions of when to pump water south of the Delta to our Valley. Defense / Veterans Properly defending our nation from foreign-borne threats requires vigilance in maintaining secure, properly surveilled borders. It also requires a commitment that our men and women in uniform are fully-equipped, properly trained, and have the tools to be prepared and ready for battle, while only sending them into harm’s way only when absolutely necessary. Healthcare It’s time to give patients the power to shop for the best policies – rather than limiting them to a closed market – expand Health Savings Accounts to maximize the use of pre-tax dollars, and develop a stronger assigned risk pool for those with pre-existing conditions. Taxes / Budget Despite hard-fought gains to reform our tax code during the Trump administration, Democrats and the Biden machine have sought to punish taxpayers. In Congress, I will fight to block the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents designed to harass, intimidate, and audit good-faith taxpayers. Environment / Energy I will strongly back legislation to make energy production and development easier to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, while also investments in cutting edge energy initiatives that can diversify the sources keeping our grid humming. I also support the continued operation of Diablo Canyon Power Plant, which serves as a critical lynchpin that often can determine if California is in a state of rolling blackouts or not. Infrastructure / Transportation I support reducing barriers to the construction of additional dams and reservoirs, increasing investment in water capture technologies. I also support renewing the key provisions of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act of 2016 to ensure that Federal water managers are using the most cutting edge science to guide decisions of when to pump water south of the Delta to our Valley. Immigration I’ll fight for stronger border protection – from a border wall to modern technological tracking to increased border patrol agents – and a common-sense overhaul of our immigration system that allows law-abiding, hard-working people to come out of the shadows while ensuring Federal immigration authorities can swiftly deport violent criminals living in our country illegally.
