I am your law and order candidate. Your personal security, especially the security of your liberties, will always be my top priority.
I will support and defend our Constitution, which has stood the test of time. The Federal Government must return to its constitutional roles and reduce intrusion into our lives. National debt is soaring, causing inflation. Congress must balance the budget. My first job after college was working to solve the Latin American debt crisis 30 years ago. We were successful.Parents want the best for their children. Like Medicare, let’s empower families by allowing choice of providers. This is the single biggest social justice issue of our day.I am endorsed by the Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo and Monterey County Republican Parties.
The California Republican Party believes in long-term responsible stewardship of California's bountiful natural resources for future generations.
Protection and stewardship of the environment began under a Republican President and our conservative values align with the goal of conservation: safeguarding the natural resources to which our health and economy depend.
Recognizing that environmental protection and economic growth are not mutually exclusive, we will hold our State government accountable for common sense and sustainable environmental regulations that both protect and allow for prosperity. We support environmental policies based upon sound science that encourage innovation and application of new technologies through market-based incentives whenever possible instead of regulation, taxation and litigation. Environmental regulations must be considered in light of the effects that they will have on workers and on the economy.
We believe that the United Nations approach has been fundamentally flawed because it enables increasing emissions from the largest sources of greenhouse gasses in the world. To be truly fair and effective, we believe that any solution to greenhouse gas emissions should involve equal incentives applied worldwide and should contain provisions to protect our farms and businesses from unfair competition by countries that do not follow suit.
We believe California industry should lead the world in developing and manufacturing safe, renewable and sustainable energy. We encourage the development of these new technologies and systems for use in the domestic market, as well as for export. We believe that entrepreneurs – using technology, innovation and incentives – are more likely to solve environmental problems than bureaucrats. We support the creation of tax credits for homeowners and builders who incorporate alternative energy systems into their homes.
Dependence on foreign energy threatens both our national security and economic prosperity. Through private initiative and enterprise, we stand for the development of energy that is independent from foreign sources.
We favor clear environmental laws with consistent, straightforward interpretation and the elimination of third-party lawsuits by claimants without direct legal standing.
