| 1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected? | President Donald Trump's selfless commitment to steering our country back to a path of prosperity, peace, and joy inspired me to finally throw my hat into the ring. His common sense, principled Agenda 47 when transformed into policies will turn dreams into destiny. Donald Trump | Putting America First... Deborah Baber | Making California Best! |
| 2. Please identify the top three critical issues facing your state, and how do you envision solving them to benefit the communities in your state? | Government is too big, it takes too much money out of our pockets, and too often it acts outside its authority. California is only one of 10 states with full-time legislatures. The next two populous states, Texas and Florida, have only part-time legislators. We Californians do not need full-time politicians and unelected bureaucrats and administrators to tell us how to live our lives, define our families, educate our children, take care of our health, and run our businesses. Government takes too much money out of our pockets. California faces a multi-billion-dollar deficit. We can’t pay our bills now. And, with the recent news about more businesses leaving California including big names in the tech industry, we won’t be able to pay our bills in the future! Something is going to break. Either government has to get smaller and more focused on its constitutional responsibilities or it will bankrupt those of us who remain in California. Over 15% of California's workforce is employed in government jobs. Payroll taxes for these employees exceed $4 billion dollars. These employees pay their taxes using taxpayer-funded paychecks. So, we pay OUR taxes, THEIR wages, AND their taxes! Too often government acts outside its Constitutional authority. Have you noticed during an election season that...road work springs up everywhere but potholes greet us the rest of the time? Mailboxes, email, and text messages explode with ads asking for money? 39 million unique men and women buy food, drive cars, purchase homes, hike, go to beaches, have families, seek jobs, learn trades and get educations. 66% attend religious services. Governments should have little say-so over our personal lives, family choices, and private business operations. Californians with different beliefs, backgrounds, cultures, and talents should be free from government intrusion to pursue individual paths to prosperity, happiness and fulfillment. |
