Laurie, like so many Californians, wasn’t born here. She visited California multiple times as a child, and it was during those trips she knew she wanted to live here as soon as she could. Laurie was born in Wisconsin, where she and her three brothers and one sister were raised by her parents Richard and Lois Davies. Her parents instilled in her the value of hard work and the importance of family. After graduating high school, she worked for a year, and in 1981 after saving enough money to buy a Cutlass Supreme, she moved west to attend Cal State Long Beach.
Governor Newsom and the liberals in Sacramento believe that the solution to everything is more intervention from Sacramento. Mayor Davies has proven on the Laguna Niguel City Council that you can invest in the community while keeping taxes low.
Laurie will bring her city council experience with her to Sacramento. She will be a voice of reason to the out of control spending by Newsom and his liberal allies. California needs to rein in spending on wasteful projects and focus on becoming more efficient. Laurie will work with her colleagues to reinvest duplicative or wasteful funds back into communities or return them to the taxpayers.
