| KEY ISSUES | |
| 1. Provide the top 2 reason why you want to run for office. | 1. This is a divine calling to me. I believe God is asking patriotic Americans to rise up and restore this country to her former glory. As the old conservative movement used to say- If not us, who? If not now, when? 2. CA-18 is a winnable district. The latinos in my district are tired of liberalism. There is a sea change at work. |
| 2. Name the top 2 issues in your county, state, or federal district that you wish to address and how? | 1. Stopping Illegal Immigration. Our system is a mess and even recent legal immigrants are tired of a system that is rewarding lawlessness. 2. Fixing our economy. Californians struggle to start a business and keep afloat. I will do my best to change that at the Federal Level. |
| 3. Do you support defunding the police? | Absolutely not. The American people want law and order. It's an insane proposal to take it away from them. |
| 4. What are your thoughts on “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”? Should this be implemented as training for county/city/federal employees? Why or why not? | We need to end Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs, starting with the mess in our state-run Colleges. It's a discriminatory practice that segregates Americans by race and reverses the improvements our country has made over the last 300 years. Americans deserve to be judged on their own individual merits. |
| 5. With growing pressure to accommodate various lifestyles/identities how would you manage to keep your city/town safe and family friendly? | It's a simple answer. Americans had it figured out until recently. We need to fund our police, prosecute violent crimes against people and their property, allow people to carry guns to defend themselves and promote a business environment that is incentivized to keep the streets clean and prosperous. I will use every avenue of personal and legislative influence to realize this vision for our people. |
| 6. Do you think involving residents in decision making in your city/town is important? Why or not? | I absolutely do. Representation means the consent of the governed. Most of America's problems start from the top-down. By and large, Americans are still a smart and common sense-driven people. They will make better decisions than our supposed elites. |
| 7. If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city/town/county any way you wanted, what would you do with it and why? | I'd have it credited back to the taxpayers in my district and let them spend it as they see fit. |
| 8. What is your opinion on sanctuary cities/autonomous zones within your city/town? | They are unacceptable violations of the rule of law. I will work to end all of them. |
| 9. What are your thoughts on mandating the closure of privately owned businesses due to public health concerns aside from code violations? | The COVID era showed us how these closures are the tools of tyrants. My friends couldn't operate their businesses to feed their families while Gavin Newsom lived like a king at high-dollar dinners. |
| 10. Who is the ultimate authority over the health and safety of the people in your city/town? | The individual and his or her family doctor. This is not the government's concern unless some outside force is actively undermining it. |
| 11. Are you endorsed by other organizations? If so, which ones? | Mark Meuser – Constitutional Attorney, And Candidate For US Senate Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association |
