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.
We believe that local or state governments should resolve political matters unless the United States Constitution expressly reserves such matters for the federal government.
The federal government has repeatedly violated the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution by encroaching on rights that are reserved and delegated to the states and to the people. The California Republican Party firmly believes that the best governments are those most accountable to the people. We heed Thomas Jefferson's warning: "When all government, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another."
Non-essential federal functions should be returned to the states and localities wherever possible. It is the governments closest to the people that have the capability, knowledge, and sensitivity to local needs to effectively administer and deliver public services. Local jurisdictions’ diverse problems require local understanding. We must recognize the unique abilities of local government and the inherent limitations of a distant federal government; accordingly, we support the transfer of rights, responsibilities, and revenues to local jurisdictions.
