Biographical Info:
As a first-generation American, born to an immigrant single mother, I understand the value of respecting our founding liberties and the importance of instituting common sense policies for our communities. I understand the value of safety, parental rights, freedom of choice, lower taxes, and all workers as essential. California’s quality of life and once rich job opportunity landscape have been on a downward trajectory for decades. However, the policies of the one-party rule have dramatically made matters worse, and you don’t have to look far to see the results for yourself. Violent crime is up by 86%, homicides up 46%, and homelessness is up by 20%, despite spending billions on the issue, California leads the nation with the highest gas prices and taxes as well. It’s time to turn California around, my sole purpose is to give the California citizen what has been deprived to them for far too long- a fighting chance at the California dream.
Statement:
I feel we have lost our values, at home and our communities. I believe there is a spark. There is a calling to return to our core values as Americans and as a people, b/c our career politicians have shown a total disregard for the common everyday American who is struggling to make sure the bills are paid. I believe in our founding father’s goal of a representative government which seems to have lost its way, and that we have reached a point where we must take action and be a force for change for those who feel they have no representation.
