Get StartedI oppose the soft-on-crime policies coming out of the State Capitol that have made our neighborhoods less safe. It is past time to restore accountability in our criminal justice system by reforming laws that have led to rampant retail theft and the early release of dangerous criminals. During my time in the Legislature, I have supported law enforcement, advocated for more school police officers, and introduced Ryla’s Law to close loopholes that let child abusers out of jail early.

I have been a strong supporter of small businesses in the Legislature with a 100% rating from the California Chamber of Commerce. The best way to improve our economy and boost job creation is by slashing harmful regulations that have made California one of the least friendly states to do business in the entire country. That’s why I have fought against new laws that increase costs on small businesses and make it harder for them to operate. Learn more
As a former school board member, I led the fight in my community to reopen schools during the pandemic and my district was the first in Sacramento County to bring kids back for in-person instruction. As a father of three kids in public schools, I believe that we can fix our education system and better serve California families by putting students first, empowering parents, providing school choice, and restoring local control. I will continue to be a voice for these same values in Sacramento on the Assembly Education Committee. Learn more
California is the greatest state in the nation, but unfortunately, it has also become the most expensive. The California Dream of homeownership has become increasingly unattainable for young families. As a father of three, I want California to be a place where my kids can one day afford to raise their own families. That’s why I have opposed unreasonable mandates, worked to streamline construction projects, and supported legislation to increase our housing supply so hard working Californians are able to afford a home in the Golden State.

Our state’s housing-first approach to homelessness is failing to prioritize the mental health and substance abuse issues that keep people in a cycle of homelessness. That’s why my first action after being elected was to propose a comprehensive audit of all homelessness spending in California to identify the programs that work and stop funding the programs that don’t. That audit led to first-of-its-kind legislation to require all state-run homeless programs to track the costs and outcomes of every dollar spent. If we truly want to solve our homelessness crisis we need comprehensive reforms to improve accountability, support programs that emphasize sobriety, expand capacity for mental health treatment, and restore our public spaces.

Over the past two years the politicians in Sacramento went on a spending binge and turned a 100 billion budget surplus into a 50 billion budget deficit. Now, some state leaders have proposed tax increases to make up for their own fiscal mismanagement. I will continue fighting back against these efforts by pushing to reduce spending, cut waste and fraud in state government, and lower taxes. Learn more
