California Congressional District 47

Voter ID is a commonsense measure that is broadly supported by voters of both political parties, and voter verification is required by most democracies around the world. California actually bans the requirement for voter ID, and has not even verified it cleans its voter rolls regularly. The gaps in our system are unacceptable in a modern democracy where the tools exist to ensure fair and cost-effective enforcement. At the same time, we must remove any barriers to voting for low income families and seniors. Election integrity is vital, but we must not prevent people who have a legal right to participate in elections from being able to do so. Our elections must be fair and grant access to the polls for all citizens. I will support any sound voter ID policy that achieves both of those goals.

As a Director of CAL DOGE, I have uncovered just how out-of-control our state government’s spending - which includes federal funds - has become. We’ve found millions being wasted on homeless programs that aren’t getting people off the streets and millions more meant for renewable energy being funneled to activist groups to register voters. As Congresswoman, I will take my job of oversight and responsible budgeting seriously regardless of which party has control of the White House. When agencies mismanage our tax dollars, I will be the first representative demanding they testify under oath to what happened. Families are struggling to make ends meet and our government spends our precious tax dollars like drunken sailors. It is unacceptable, and I will hold anyone who abuses the public’s trust accountable. On day one as a Congresswoman in CA-47, I will get to work on crafting legislation to create audit controls for all federal spending.

Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East and I believe we must stand strongly with them. Our two countries share similar Judeo-Christian values, believe in securing peace, and are committed to rooting out anti-semitism across the globe. More importantly, Israel is a beacon of democracy in a region filled full of autocrats and the U.S. support militarily, diplomatically, and economically must be unwavering to ensure American security interests. Abandoning that support will embolden our enemies, put American lives at risk, and create instability all over the world. As Congresswoman, I will never waver in my support and commitment to the Israel-United States relationship.

I have visited over 50 countries and am married to a legal immigrant. I understand why so many want to live and work here - there truly is no place like America. This issue is vital to our future - and Congress has failed to act. We must do better. First, we must secure our border. Drugs cannot pour into our communities, and we must vet everyone who seeks to enter our country. Without border security, our immigration system isn’t functional and is deeply unfair. In addition, we must apprehend and remove people who have committed crimes and have been ordered to leave. California’s sanctuary state policies leave criminals at large, while we foot the bill to catch them and fund their prison stays indefinitely. We also need every immigrant that entered the country illegally to either complete the asylum process or return to their home country and re-enter legally.

My faith-based belief is that marriage is between one man and one woman and I do not apologize for that. However, I am steadfast in my belief and conviction that we must respect the will of the people, our constitution, and the democratic process. That is a foundation of our republic and I will always honor it, even if I may disagree with the policy.

I believe the Supreme Court made the right decision on Dobbs by returning this issue to the states and allowing communities to govern themselves according to their values, just as our founders intended. As a passionately pro-life candidate, I will continue to advocate for protection of the unborn.

I wholeheartedly agree with the Supreme Court here. Parents have the sole authority in raising their children, not the government and certainly not school employees. California has been ground zero for this lunacy as school districts from Los Angeles to the Bay Area have adopted “social transition” policies without parental knowledge or consent. The Supreme Court shouldn’t have to mandate common sense in our school systems. Parental rights have been consistently impeded in California and I applaud the Court for doing something about it. As Congresswoman, I will fight California’s culture of government overreach in our schools and empower parents to take back control of their children’s lives.
