The issues

Voter ID
What's your view on the 2026 SAVE America Act requiring proof of citizenship and a government-issued photo ID to vote?

Voter ID

What's your view on the 2026 SAVE America Act requiring proof of citizenship and a government-issued photo ID to vote?
Right step!
One of the greatest constitutional rights given to us as American citizens is the right to vote. This legislation is a long overdue step toward strengthening the integrity of our elections.
Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy. I voted to require all U.S. Citizens to exercise their Constitutional right to vote while effectively end mail-in voter registration and ensuring that only U.S. citizens vote and implement voter ID to prevent fraud. This is simply common sense and a critical step toward restoring integrity to ensuring every vote counts and every election is fair. I am proud to be fighting alongside President Trump to deliver the fair elections Americans are calling for.
It needs to be passed. The senate needs to pass it.
I STRONGLY support the 2026 SAVE America Act. Election Integrity is the cornerstone of our Republic.
I completely support the 2026 SAVE America Act. I think that it is ridiculous that we would impose any type of verification without requiring people to vote at all. Allowing people to vote without any type of verification is incredibly irresponsible. Speaking as a local election official (I am the Chief Deputy City Clerk for the City of Colton), I am embarrassed that our elections process is so lax. Can you believe that when I was filing my papers to run as a Congressional Candidate, no ID was required to complete the process... at the very end, right after I was sworn in and the ROV representative indicated that we were almost done, I brought that up and asked him why they had not asked for any type of ID verification. He had no answer except indicating that I had signed the affidavit. I responded by asking him - what if I lied? What if I am an illegal immigrant? How would you know? He had no answer and needlessly say it got very awkward very fast. We MUST secure our elections ASAP.
The American people deserve confidence that their voice is truly heard on Election Day. Even if voter fraud is rare, citizens have every right to demand accountability and proof that our elections reflect the will of the people. Secure elections matter because they reveal what issues truly matter to voters and hold government accountable. Unfortunately, some in Congress dismiss common-sense reforms by claiming they will disenfranchise voters. That argument is disingenuous. If changes do create temporary hurdles, the solution is simple: provide clear guidance and assistance so every eligible American can register and vote. New processes can feel challenging, but difficulty is not a valid excuse to reject reforms that protect election integrity. Strong, trustworthy elections strengthen our democracy and restore public trust.
I strongly support requiring proof of citizenship and a government-issued photo ID to vote. Election integrity is the foundation of democracy. Every legal vote must be counted, and every citizen deserves confidence that our elections are secure, are decided only by eligible American voters. Common-sense safeguards like citizenship verification and voter ID are not barriers to protections for it.
I support requiring proof of citizenship and a government-issued photo ID to vote in federal elections. Elections must be secure and trusted. At the same time, IDs should be easy to obtain and free or low-cost so eligible voters are not excluded.
The right of an individual to elect their representative is what sets us apart from the rest of the world at this nation's inception. Over time many nations have adopted direct elections with safeguards to ensure election integrity. Unfortunately we have not implemented measures that protect this cherished right. I fully support a means of positive identification to engage in this right.

I'm the author of Huntington Beach and California Voter ID Initiative. I wholeheartedly support the Voter ID initiative and will be campaigning for it to pass in my district.
Did not answer
Absolutely supportive and I believe it will get conservatives out to vote which will help me win!
Did not answer
Agree
Election integrity matters. Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy. Requiring a government-issued photo ID to vote is reasonable, responsible measure that helps secure our elections and protect every legitimate vote. California deserves a system they can trust - one that is fair, transparent, and accountable. We already show ID for everyday activities. Applying that same standard to voting helps ensure fairness, transparency, and trust.
Voter ID is basic common sense. Voter ID should be a picture ID, open a bank account, or cash a check. Voting should be no different. Requiring photo ID helps ensure trust in our elections, and trust is everything. We should make it easy and free for every eligible voter to get an ID, but there's nothing controversial about wanting secure elections that people have confidence in.

Pro-growth policies, including lowering top individual tax rates from 70% to 25%, encourage investment and increase tax revenue, allowing for deficit reduction without higher taxes. Curbing government spending on social programs, coupled with deregulation, will streamline operations and boost productivity. Concurrently, reallocating funds to prioritize defense will strengthen national security.
U.S. support for Israel constitutes a fundamental moral and strategic commitment, essential for maintaining Middle East stability and securing the nation's right to exist.

For over 25 years we have seen our federal government's spending spiral out of control. Career politicians got us into this mess and are taking all take forward to get out. First, we need to get spending under control and address our fiscal situation and put people back to work in Congress to voted to put us out of billions of dollars in debt. I have consistently voted to reform welfare programs and government spending. I have worked to reform legislation, including the No More SCAMS Act, to crack down on fraud in programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and unemployment benefits. Cracking down on the criminals who rip off taxpayers, while other initiatives, will move us in the right direction.
I always have and will continue to be a loud voice in support of Israel's right to self defend itself. The United States relationship with Israel is a matter of national security. Israel is a democratic and moral ally and defend and share values that unite the U.S. I have consistently supported American security assistance for Israel's defense and have offered legislation that has provided security in a time when Israel has been under attack. I am grateful that the current administration has provided Iran and Israel are working side by side to deter defeat and Iran's threat in the Middle East.

As a result of DOGE and other independent investigators, we have learned that much of that debt is actually the result of fraud and corruption. We need new leadership and fair and transparent elections.
I am an America First Constitutional Conservative. Our support of Israel is not unconditional. The tail CANNOT wag the dog. Our support MUST be based on the benefit of the United States...FIRST.
Pete Aguilar
Stephanie Vargas
We MUST stop spending. It is paramount that we begin making fiscally responsible decisions in order to ensure the long-term success of our Nation. I am highly concerned that leaders today are not thinking at all about how their choices will affect their children and grandchildren's futures. We need to stop spending and adjust accordingly.
I am very grateful that the U.S. is supportive of Israel. I believe that this is part of why America has been blessed. I know that the Word of God says in Genesis 12:3 that God promised Abraham that He would make him a great nation and that they would be a blessing... Then God promises to "bless those who bless you, and that he will curse those who curse you..." in them all the families of the earth shall be blessed. I will always bless and support Israel out of both respect for God but also because they have been a blessing to the whole world.

The U.S. national debt now exceeds $39 trillion. The solution is not more taxes or spending — it's pro-growth policies that expand the economy. We must encourage investment, innovation, and new markets. I will fight to reshore companies, make Silicon Valley the AI Innovation Capital of the World, and unleash American energy. In CA18, that means building reservoirs, securing water supplies, and protecting farmland for farming - not regulation. Root out waste and fraud in federal budgeting and international spending opening the door to tax cuts for working Americans and overhaul our tax code to reward spending and reinvestment at home. I support MAHA/Bill of Rights tax write-offs for every American whether they itemize or not. This includes after-tax dollars spent on gym memberships, fitness equipment, self-defense training, safes, and personal health. By growing the economy, cutting waste, and simplifying taxes, we can reduce the deficit and increased opportunity.
I 100% support Israel and I am proud that the United States partners with Israel.
Ro Khanna
Ritesh Tandon
The national deficit is a serious threat to America's future. Washington must stop ignoring fraud, waste, and abuse. My approach is simple: cut wasteful spending, crack down on government fraud, and grow the economy without hurting working families. First, we must attack fraud across federal programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, fake billing, improper payments, and weak oversight, while holding states accountable when they misuse federal funds. Second, we must stop rewarding irresponsible state spending and restrict federal dollars from being used to support illegal immigration. Federal taxpayer money should go only to lawful, essential priorities for American citizens. Third, we must reduce bureaucracy, eliminate duplicate programs, and support America First growth, manufacturing, small business, and AI education. Cut waste, stop fraud, protect taxpayers, hold states accountable, and grow America.
I strongly support Israel as one of America's truest and most reliable allies. Israel is the only real democracy in the Middle East, shares our values of freedom, rule of law, innovation, and national security, and stands on the front lines against terrorism and extremism. A strong Israel makes America stronger by helping promote stability in a dangerous region, sharing critical intelligence, and advancing defense and technology cooperation. Israel has repeatedly shown courage in defending its people under constant threat, and the United States must stand firmly with allies who stand with us. Supporting Israel is not only a moral commitment, it is also a strategic necessity. We should continue strong military, diplomatic, and intelligence support for Israel, while making clear that America stands against terrorism, antisemitism, and efforts to isolate or weaken one of our closest partners in the world.

We need fiscal discipline. That means cutting wasteful spending, improving efficiency, and prioritizing core responsibilities. We should pair responsible spending cuts with policies that grow the economy and expand the tax base without overburdening working Americans.

Taxes are a critical and necessary function of government. California has not been good stewards of the public funds. Our taxing system has seen a steady revenue income stream over the years. This is only outpaced by our ridiculous spending on wasteful projects, ideas that have no basis in supporting public at large and no regard for theft, fraud and abuse of our social welfare system. The 4th largest economy in the euros should be showing a surplus, not a structural deficit.

Raising taxes is a nonstarter when Californians already pay among the highest taxes in the nation yet too often receive unreliable services and inefficient programs in return. Instead, the state must act as a better steward of existing resources by auditing wasteful spending and redirecting funds toward core priorities like public safety, rather than continuing to invest in costly, underperforming projects. California does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.
As Mayor of Huntington Beach we moved to have Ramat Gan as our sister city. We were the first city in the nation to stand with Israel on a resolution to support them after they were attacked. I unequivocally support Israel as one of America's strongest allies and believe we have both a strategic interest and moral obligation to ensure it can defend itself against threats from Iran and terrorist organizations, while upholding democracy and stability in the Middle East. Supporting Israel also means maintaining its security, confronting Iran's destabilizing influence, and advancing peace through strength, while I continue engaging with the Jewish community and promoting education to foster greater understanding of the region's complexities.

California doesn't have a revenue problem--it has a spending problem. Fiscal responsibility starts with accountability. I support cutting wasteful spending and fully investigating the mismanagement and corruption that continue to drive budget shortfalls and rising debt. Taxpayers deserve accountability, transparency, and a government that lives within its means. We must take a hard look at how taxpayer dollars are being spent, eliminate waste, and investigate corruption wherever it exists. California families are tightening their budgets--Sacramento should do the same. Out-of-control spending, waste, and lack of oversight have put California on an unsustainable financial path. I will fight to cut unnecessary spending, expose corruption and restore fiscal discipline to protect our state's future.
America's alliance with Israel is rooted in shared democratic values, mutual respect, and a commitment to security. We have a long-standing strategic partnership with them built on shared interests. We must stand firmly with Israel, has the right to defend itself against terrorism and ensure the safety of its citizens. America's support should remain unwavering as we stand for freedom, security, and shared values. We must continue to support Israel's security while encouraging lasting peace and stability in the region for all people.

California isn't broke because Californians aren't paying enough. It's because government is too big, too wasteful and too accountable. After 16 years of one party rule, spending has exploded. We pay the highest taxes in the country for the worst results. We need a full audit of state spending, real transparency, and a focus on core priorities. I launched CAL DOGE to expose fraud and waste, and as governor I'll apply that same approach across state government. We will find, stop and prosecute fraud and abuse wherever possible, get our money back. At the same time, we need to grow the economy by lowering taxes and making it easier to build, hire, and invest.
America should stand firmly with Israel. Israel is a democratic ally that shares our values and is on the front line against terrorism. I've been very clear that antisemitism is rising and must be confronted directly, whether it's overseas or here at home. Supporting Israel is about standing with a free society defending itself against terrorism. That should not be a controversial position.

America should stand firmly with Israel. Israel is a democratic ally that shares our values and is on the front line against terrorism. I've been very clear that antisemitism is rising and must be confronted directly, whether it's overseas or here at home. Supporting Israel is about standing with a free society defending itself against terrorism. That should not be a controversial position.

Border security is national security. I have been proud to stand with President Trump to secure our border, protect the law, and stop fentanyl, illegal criminal aliens, and repeat offenders from releasing into our neighborhoods. I introduced legislation to secure our border and to appropriations to crack down, arrest, and deport illegal immigrants from more than 90 percent to the lowest level in 50 years. The operational control at the border, and the border is no longer an open route for cartels and traffickers.
I always have and will continue to be a loud voice in support of Israel's right to self defend itself. The United States relationship with Israel is a matter of national security. Israel is a democratic and moral ally and defend and share values that unite the U.S. I have consistently supported American security assistance for Israel's defense and have offered legislation that has provided security in a time when Israel has been under attack. I am grateful that the current administration has provided Iran and Israel are working side by side to deter defeat and Iran's threat in the Middle East.

I am very grateful that the U.S. is supportive of Israel. I believe that this is part of why America has been blessed. I know that the Word of God says in Genesis 12:3 that God promised Abraham that He would make him a great nation and that they would be a blessing... Then God promises to "bless those who bless you, and that he will curse those who curse you..." in them all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

Border security is fundamental to any sovereign nation. Strong national cooperation between federal and state governments, and smart policies can align them to achieve shared immigration goals. Yet current policies often block this partnership. We must enact reforms that create mutual benefits and shared interests, so our immigration system truly protects the safety, security, rights, and liberties of the American people. This will bring much-needed consistency — border policy should not swing wildly between administrations or parties. Today, flawed Census rules and sanctuary incentives encourage states to resist federal law. When Washington sends inconsistent signals, it creates massive, preventable burdens on local governments — driving up costs for housing affordability, healthcare access, and decreased economic opportunity in districts like California's 18th.
I 100% support Israel and I am proud that the United States partners with Israel.
Ro Khanna

I strongly support President Donald Trump's efforts to enhance border security. If we do not have a secure border, we do not have a secure country. A nation that knows who is entering, stops illegal crossings, prevent drug trafficking, and the entry of criminals, and enforce immigration law with seriousness. Border security is not anti-immigrant; it is pro-law, pro-safety, and pro-America. Legal immigration has always made our country stronger, but it must happen through an orderly and lawful process. Measures such as stronger enforcement, physical barriers where needed, better technology, more Border Patrol support, and stricter asylum controls are common-sense steps to restore order. America must remain compassionate, but compassion cannot mean open borders. A sovereign nation has the right and duty to defend its borders, protect its citizens, and preserve the rule of law.
I strongly support Israel as one of America's truest and most reliable allies. Israel is the only real democracy in the Middle East, shares our values of freedom, rule of law, innovation, and national security, and stands on the front lines against terrorism and extremism. A strong Israel makes America stronger by helping promote stability in a dangerous region, sharing critical intelligence, and advancing defense and technology cooperation. Israel has repeatedly shown courage in defending its people under constant threat, and the United States must stand firmly with allies who stand with us. Supporting Israel is not only a moral commitment, it is also a strategic necessity. We should continue strong military, diplomatic, and intelligence support for Israel, while making clear that America stands against terrorism, antisemitism, and efforts to isolate or weaken one of our closest partners in the world.

It mirrors my own three-prong policy: 1 Secure the borders as does every other nation in the world. 2 Locate and repatriate those dangerous criminals were allowed to enter under the previous administration. 3 Consider the impacts of mass deportations to our economy while evaluating aliens who have established residency over a longer term. This must mean carefully considered to ensure we do not destroy our national, state and local economies with a one size fits all approach. A pathway to citizenship can work with very narrow applications. We are a generous and caring nation, but we are a nations ruled by laws, not man.

We are a nation defined by our laws and borders, and failing to enforce them places real strain on public resources and law enforcement while undermining the rule of law.

As Mayor of Huntington Beach we moved to have Ramat Gan as our sister city. We were the first city in the nation to stand with Israel on a resolution to support them after they were attacked. I unequivocally support Israel as one of America's strongest allies and believe we have both a strategic interest and moral obligation to ensure it can defend itself against threats from Iran and terrorist organizations, while upholding democracy and stability in the Middle East. Supporting Israel also means maintaining its security, confronting Iran's destabilizing influence, and advancing peace through strength, while I continue engaging with the Jewish community and promoting education to foster greater understanding of the region's complexities.

A country without secure borders isn't really a country. Enforcing the law, stopping illegal entry, and restoring order to the system are basic requirements of government. President Trump's approach recognized that and took it seriously. The problem today is that Democrats have fought that same approach and created a system that isn't working. Californians are dealing with the consequences. We need a system that is lawful, controlled, and works. That starts with enforcement, not ignoring the problem.

CA is home to people with a wide range of beliefs and values. I support equal legal rights and protections for every adult couple--no exceptions. I also believe we can respect differing perspectives by recognizing committed "unions" in a way that preserves both equality and freedom of belief. At the same time, I believe the term "marriage" carries a long-standing traditional meaning. Recognizing civil unions with full and equal legal standing allows us to protect individual rights while respecting deeply held beliefs. We don't have to choose between quality and tradition--we can honor both.
America's alliance with Israel is rooted in shared democratic values, mutual respect, and a commitment to security. We have a long-standing strategic partnership with them built on shared interests.

I don't believe a group of elected should make this decision - medical professionals have been sidelined and their opinions, if government is to make the final determination, should be factored. I personally believe there is a place for all life. Where we have lost our way is the moral degradation of our society that has allowed for abortion on demand. I do not agree on this.

Thanks to President Trump the Supreme Court returned this issue to the democratic process, which is where it belongs. In California, the constitution was amended in a ballot initiative passed by 67%, and no governor has the constitutional authority to change that. But California talks about values while too often leaving women without real support. If the state is serious about valuing life, that has to include both mother and child. We should be expanding prenatal care, strengthening adoption, and working with faith-based and community organizations to provide real, practical support. Too often abortion is treated as the only option. California can do better by making it easier for families to grow and thrive. I will do everything in my power as governor to move our state towards life.
America should stand firmly with Israel. Israel is a democratic ally that shares our values and is on the front line against terrorism. I've been very clear that antisemitism is rising and must be confronted directly, whether it's overseas or here at home. Supporting Israel is about standing with a free society defending itself against terrorism. That should not be a controversial position.

The ruling reinforces the constitutional authority of parents over their children's mental health. It suggests that secrecy in schools violates the religious rights of families dedicated to raising their children within their own moral frameworks.

The Supreme Court's decision is a huge win for families, parental rights, and basic common sense in California. Parents, not politicians, are the ones responsible for the upbringing of their children. However, when there are laws in this country that are being infringed and that simply does not happen, it is not the job of the school to guide or facilitate social transitioning, but it does have a role to protect children, therefore it is not the responsibility of school administrators to withhold trusted information provided to them by a student that is unlawful or harmful under the law.
I always have and will continue to be a loud voice in support of Israel's right to self defend itself. The United States relationship with Israel is a matter of national security. Israel is a democratic and moral ally and defend and share values that unite the U.S. I have consistently supported American security assistance for Israel's defense and have offered legislation that has provided security in a time when Israel has been under attack. I am grateful that the current administration has provided Iran and Israel are working side by side to deter defeat and Iran's threat in the Middle East.

This is common sense. The fact that our Supreme Court had to take time to discuss this is an embarrassment to our Country and shows just how crazy some have become in our nation. Parental Rights MUST be protected, and there should be absolutely no room for the government, schools, teachers, or anyone else to keep secrets or make decisions for children. Parents MUST retain the authority to raise their children how they want. Parents are the number one supporters in their children's lives and will make choices that benefit their children in ways the government never could. We need to respect the God given role of parents to raise their children.
I am very grateful that the U.S. is supportive of Israel. I believe that this is part of why America has been blessed. I know that the Word of God says in Genesis 12:3 that God promised Abraham that He would make him a great nation and that they would be a blessing... Then God promises to "bless those who bless you, and that he will curse those who curse you..." in them all the families of the earth shall be blessed. I will always bless and support Israel out of both respect for God but also because they have been a blessing to the whole world.

Parents know their children best. Public schools and the state must respect and honor parents as the primary authority over their child's upbringing and education. Parents have both the right and the duty to guide their children's values and beliefs. To fulfill this responsibility, families must have real tools — including meaningful school choice — so they can select the learning environment that best aligns with their values. Parents should be free to choose schools that reflect their family's principles without interference. The federal government must ensure local school districts, counties, and state education policies fully comply with federal law protecting these fundamental parental rights. Strong parental authority strengthens families and improves education outcomes for all children.
I 100% support Israel and I am proud that the United States partners with Israel.
Ro Khanna
Ritesh Tandon
I strongly support the Supreme Court's decision recognizing that parents have a right to know what is happening with their child at school on gender-related matters. Parents are the primary caregivers and decision-makers for their children, not the government. Schools should educate, not hide life-changing issues from mothers and fathers. Policies that keep parents in the dark undermine trust, weaken families, and violate basic parental rights. Children need guidance, love, and support from their parents, especially on sensitive matters involving identity, health, and emotional well-being. I believe schools should be transparent with parents, respect family authority, and never adopt policies that mislead or exclude parents from important decisions about their own children. Protecting parental rights is essential to protecting children.
I strongly support Israel as one of America's truest and most reliable allies. Israel is the only real democracy in the Middle East, shares our values of freedom, rule of law, innovation, and national security, and stands on the front lines against terrorism and extremism. A strong Israel makes America stronger by helping promote stability in a dangerous region, sharing critical intelligence, and advancing defense and technology cooperation. Israel has repeatedly shown courage in defending its people under constant threat, and the United States must stand firmly with allies who stand with us. Supporting Israel is not only a moral commitment, it is also a strategic necessity. We should continue strong military, diplomatic, and intelligence support for Israel, while making clear that America stands against terrorism, antisemitism, and efforts to isolate or weaken one of our closest partners in the world.

Schools are tasked with fundamental education with an emphasis on how to think, not what to think. Public schools are way over their skis when it comes to interfering with decisions that are solely the purvue of parental control. The duty of educators is to work with parents, not against them or determine what's important to communicate. A question of gender identity must be given to the parents to resolve without interference from school administrators.

This is a sensitive & important issue. I believe parents should be informed and involved in their children's lives, especially when it comes to significant personal matters. At the same time, must ensure that all students are treated with care, respect and support. Strong families are built on trust and communication. Parents have a fundamental right to be involved in their children's lives at school. They need to guide their children through important and complex issues. Schools should work with families--not around them--when it comes to a child's development and well-being. I support ensuring that parents are informed and engaged when it comes to important issues affect their child's well-being, including questions around gender. Transparency and trust between schools and families matter.

I believe that parents should not be cut out of their children's lives. That's just common sense. Schools exist to support families, not replace them. Keeping secrets from parents breaks that trust and puts real government in a role it should never have. Of course, some situations should be handled with care and sensitivity, but the starting point has to be honesty and respect for parents' rights. As Governor I will be a champion for parental rights in education.

For most healthy kids the old school basic proven vaccines I believe children in public school should have because of proximity and I do share concerns about old diseases we have eradicated coming back. The addition of too many vaccines for illness or disease that is not lethal or proven over time should not be given to our children. I also believe a parent should be able to choose whether or not their child is vaccinated. I am not an expert in this area and have not done a lot of research. But I can tell you that I support choices and was never supportive of children getting the covid vaccines it was totally unnecessary.

I believe in protecting public health, especially in our schools, but I also believe parents should have a meaningful role in their children's healthcare decisions. Schools should be safe environments for every child, and preventing the spread of serious disease is a critical responsibility. Vaccine requirement have helped protect students and communities, but maintaining public confidence requires transparency, accountability, and clear communication with families. Policies should not dismiss families' concerns. We need a system that respects families while still keeping our communities safe. Strong public health and parental rights can, and should, coexist. We must ensure policies are both effective and trusted.

Government mandates, especially one-size-fits-all rules, have gone too far. We saw during COVID how heavy-handed mandates damaged trust and ignored legitimate concerns from parents. Decisions about children's health should involve parents and doctors, not politicians or bureaucrats. We should be focused on transparency, choice, and rebuilding trust, not forcing compliance. That's how you get better outcomes. I was one of the first people in the country to speak out against covid lockdowns, and later against the totally unjustified vaccine mandates. As Governor I will establish a Covid Accountability Commission to make sure the people who made such far-reaching decisions that did so much harm are held accountable, and we do everything in our power to compensate people who were harmed.

America should stand firmly with Israel. Israel is a democratic ally that shares our values and is on the front line against terrorism. I've been very clear that antisemitism is rising and must be confronted directly, whether it's overseas or here at home. Supporting Israel is about standing with a free society defending itself against terrorism. That should not be a controversial position.

I always have and will continue to be a loud voice in support of Israel's right to self defend itself. The United States relationship with Israel is a matter of national security. Israel is a democratic and moral ally and defend and share values that unite the U.S. I have consistently supported American security assistance for Israel's defense and have offered legislation that has provided security in a time when Israel has been under attack. I am grateful that the current administration has provided Iran and Israel are working side by side to deter defeat and Iran's threat in the Middle East.

I am very grateful that the U.S. is supportive of Israel. I believe that this is part of why America has been blessed. I know that the Word of God says in Genesis 12:3 that God promised Abraham that He would make him a great nation and that they would be a blessing... Then God promises to "bless those who bless you, and that he will curse those who curse you..." in them all the families of the earth shall be blessed. I will always bless and support Israel out of both respect for God but also because they have been a blessing to the whole world.

I strongly support Israel as one of America's truest and most reliable allies. Israel is the only real democracy in the Middle East, shares our values of freedom, rule of law, innovation, and national security, and stands on the front lines against terrorism and extremism. A strong Israel makes America stronger by helping promote stability in a dangerous region, sharing critical intelligence, and advancing defense and technology cooperation. Israel has repeatedly shown courage in defending its people under constant threat, and the United States must stand firmly with allies who stand with us. Supporting Israel is not only a moral commitment, it is also a strategic necessity. We should continue strong military, diplomatic, and intelligence support for Israel, while making clear that America stands against terrorism, antisemitism, and efforts to isolate or weaken one of our closest partners in the world.

As Mayor of Huntington Beach we moved to have Ramat Gan as our sister city. We were the first city in the nation to stand with Israel on a resolution to support them after they were attacked. I unequivocally support Israel as one of America's strongest allies and believe we have both a strategic interest and moral obligation to ensure it can defend itself against threats from Iran and terrorist organizations, while upholding democracy and stability in the Middle East. Supporting Israel also means maintaining its security, confronting Iran's destabilizing influence, and advancing peace through strength, while I continue engaging with the Jewish community and promoting education to foster greater understanding of the region's complexities.
