Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I aim to promote the prosperity of this district's agricultural sector. California feeds the world and I aim to promote legislation which would highlight the efforts of California's farmers and ranchers to realize substantial and sustainable gains through production innovations and the expansion of our markets.I will protect our valuable resources by enhancing federal oversight of wildfire prevention and suppression. Additionally, I will champion deliberate water storage strategies to better manage our water resources and mitigate the impacts of both floods and droughts.While so much of California's crippling cost of living is the combined result of so many factors, as your representative in Congress, I would propose several solutions, to include: the expansion of federal earned income tax credits, tax credits tied to residential and commercial energy bills, as well as limiting corporate purchasing of single family homes.
