HOMELESNESS & END OF FENTANYL CRISIS

I come from a family that was once homeless. Solving issues of homelessness is a passion of mine. Mobilizing community resources to triage and treat the most vulnerable is a priority. I'll create the ‘Foster A Family Program’ to involve public and private sector industries, churches, social workers, and law enforcement in monitoring the health and safety of individuals who are struggling in our communities. Let's reclaim the human condition with sensible solutions.

Fentanyl floating across our open border and into our neighborhoods, creating addiction and mental illness to our already vulnerable homeless population. Not only, this Fentanyl crisis effects our homeless population, but it has entered into our schools and into our families, where it has killed many of our future generations. I have seen and personally witnessed many innocent lives being taken away by this horrible drug. It’s time to put an end to this crisis, and I will not rest until our state and our cities are free of this evilness!

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A HOUSING ISSUE; IT IS A MENTAL & DRUG ADDICTION ISSUE! CA NEEDS TO INVEST IN MENTAL HEALTH AND DRUG REHABILITAITON CENTERS!

SCHOOLING AND PARENTAL RIGHTS

California has the nation's lowest educational attainment rate of any state in the union. Despite receiving little education, our children aren’t succeeding, they’re failing. You cannot advance without having proper instruction that helps students understand how to solve problems. Instead of being controlled by their school board, parents should have the freedom to enroll their kids in educational institutions of their choosing and aligned with the individual family’s values. I want to work on legislation that safeguards both the family unit's interests and our children's development.

CRIME RATE

As a Law Enforcement Officer, I’ve watched the rate of crime increase with very little consequences for emboldened criminals, terrorizing families and communities living in fear. I will work to repeal Prop 47 and 57 which have been catastrophic to California while simultaneously focusing on rehabilitation programs that work. The breakdown of the family structure and deterioration of the family unit contributes to juvenile crime rates. Criminal offenders must be held accountable, not celebrated by activist District Attorney that support deviancy instead of justice.

REFUND THE POLICE AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT

The ability to protect oneself under the 2nd Amendment is an inalienable right that “shall not be infringed.” California has the strictest gun prohibitions in the nation, protecting criminals more than its own law abiding citizens. Using honest statistics through education to bridge the gap being law enforcement and troubled communities is essential. Law enforcement should never have been vilified and used a scapegoat for the deterioration of our communities across our state. We've seen government fail when acting on its own, without the consent of the governed.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Human trafficking is the largest industry in the world, with an annual revenue of almost $150 billion every year. An estimated 200,000 American children are trafficked into illegal sex trafficking rings every year. Child exploitation and human trafficking task forces must be supported and funded, and sentencing guidelines for human traffickers must reflect the pain and suffering caused to victims. Foreign nationals trafficked across our border, as well as U.S. citizens are being bought and sold like modern day slaves. There are many contributing factors to these preventable injustices, which are crimes that shock the conscious of us all and must end, immediately!

SMALL BUSINESSES

The existence of the phrase "The American Dream" can be directly attributed to small businesses. There is no better feeling in the world than allowing someone to leave a legacy with their own labor. I should know because I have witnessed my wife build her own successful small business from scratch.. My commitment is to protect and ensure my constituents, the small business owners do not have to lose what they have worked so hard for and built! I will create and back pro-business legislation that will bring all small businesses back to California, which will increase our economy and will help create new jobs.
