Homelessness & Housing: Restoring Dignity Through Accountability and Real Solutions
Homelessness isn’t just a policy issue in California — it’s something all of us see every day. It’s in our neighborhoods, outside our small businesses, near our schools, and in parks that were once gathering places for families. It affects our sense of safety, our local economy, and the spirit of our communities. But most […]
Small Business, Jobs & the Economy: Rebuilding California From the Ground Up
California has always been a place where ideas become opportunity — but over the last decade, we’ve made it harder for people to succeed here instead of easier. Small businesses are over-regulated, families are overtaxed, and innovators are leaving the state in record numbers. We aren’t losing talent because people stopped dreaming — we’re losing […]
Public Safety & Rehabilitation: Safe Communities Through Accountability, Structure, and Second Chances
Public safety is one of the biggest concerns I hear from Californians — and they’re right to be concerned. Crime, repeat offenses, open-air drug use, and revolving-door justice have made too many people feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods. Families shouldn’t have to wonder if it’s safe to walk downtown. Small businesses shouldn’t have to […]
People Over Politics: Leading with Integrity, Not Party Lines
When I say “People Over Politics,” I’m talking about something very simple: leadership that puts real people before party agendas, special interests, or political theater. Too many elected officials today are more focused on protecting their party than serving their state. That’s why nothing changes — because the priority isn’t results, it’s loyalty. I’m not […]
Government Accountability & Reform: Restoring Trust Through Transparency and Results
One of the biggest problems in California isn’t just bad policy — it’s broken trust. People don’t believe their government works for them anymore, and honestly, I don’t blame them. Billions of dollars are spent every year, yet the results never seem to reach the people who actually need help. When government becomes a system […]
Education & Youth Opportunity: Preparing the Next Generation for Real Life
California has some of the brightest young people in the country — but our education system isn’t setting them up for real success. Too many students graduate without practical skills, job readiness, or a clear path to independence. We teach them to pass tests, but not to build a future. We tell them to “dream […]
Mental Health & Healthcare: Treating the Whole Person, Not Just the Symptoms
California cannot fix homelessness, crime, addiction, or community decline without fixing mental health. Almost every major challenge we face as a state is made worse because our mental health system is broken, overloaded, or inaccessible. People are slipping through the cracks — and by the time help reaches them, it’s usually during a crisis. We […]
