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 stands for a strong national defense.
The first duty of government is to provide for the common defense. The California Republican Party asserts that it is imperative that we retain our military superiority in order to deter any potential adversary. Yet, we affirm that our military forces exist to deter our enemies and not to initiate war.
We should never allow our troops to be put under foreign command nor committed to a foreign conflict unless U.S. national interests are directly at stake and there is a clear military goal and a firm exit strategy.
We recognize the rise in international terrorism against western democracies and understand that no country can successfully combat it alone. We believe in supporting our allies and in defeating international terrorists and those who support them, wherever they hide. We object to a "surrender first" policy or unilateral withdrawal.
We believe that compensation for our troops should be fair, and we support a state income tax exemption while our troops are on active duty.
