I'm a Marine Corps combat veteran, an entrepreneur, and author of "Common Sense for California; A Guide to The New Revolution."

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?

WATER: Water is the center of any successful society. We should line the coast with desalination plants, funnel fresh water inland, and make California farms green again. We continue to vote for water infrastructure to be built (2014), yet one-million Californians go without clean drinking water. We should invest in water infrastructure and grow the food the world eats here in California.ENERGY: Government needs to invest in nuclear energy. We need to stop shutting down nuclear facilities while forcing the burden onto taxpayers, mandating they place solar panels on their homes. We are an energy rich nation, behaving like an energy poor nation. Yet the people continue to be squeezed in their taxes, at the pump, and on their energy bills.DEFENSE: You do not have a country if you cannot defend it. We need to protect our country at the border. The Department of Defense has failed its 5th consecutive audit, unable to account for 61% of $3.5T throughout the globe. We now spend $887B a year on "defense" yet we can't protect our border. About 70% of these funds go to private military contractors. We need to stop spending so much money disrespecting other countries and denying their sovereignty, while not expecting these evils not to come home. Our problems and our solutions are here. We need to focus our time, energy, and our dollar here at home.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I want to create a more peaceful world. The best way to create a more peaceful world is by focusing on building a strong America. If we had more people who understood violence in Congress, we would be less likely to legislate violence to others, both here and abroad.

I want to focus on building water and energy infrastructure. We need to reindustrialize America.

I want Americans to have access to education and healthcare, instead of funding other countries education and healthcare. We spend more than any other developed country on healthcare, and we don't get it.

We need more doctors, nurses, teachers, and engineers. An investment in education will create more taxpayers and solid American jobs. People are our most valuable and under-utilized resource on the planet.

I want to protect our border at the border. I want to stop de-stabilizing the world, creating a world refugee crisis, and indefinitely funding the Military Industrial Complex.

I am an unapologetic America first candidate. Every country on earth should be primarily concerned with the health and well-being of their own people. This will create a better world. America should lead by example, not by force. America is still capable of being the shining city on a hill.

Serpa’s campaign website stated the following:

What is your stance on Abortion?

I am Pro-Choice up to the point of viability, which is about 15 weeks.

I would like to create a society which is more conducive to life. For the first time in American history, the next generation is choosing not to have children.

The #1 issue the homeless are facing in California is affordability. The average homebuyer is 49 years old. Less than 16% of people can afford to buy a house. We sold the American Dream, which belonged to our children, to the highest bidder.

By 2030, it is projected institutional investors like Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street will own 40% of all Single-Family Homes. Why is this important? The statistics overwhelmingly show most abortions are done due to economic reasons.

If the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, why are we always engaged in violence on the other side of the world. Let's create the Kingdom. We need to create an America our children want to bring life into. Who wouldn't want to bring children into the Kingdom of Heaven?

I don't want to legislate away abortion. I want to help create a society through government, community, and faith organizations alike who look after the widows and orphans, are the hands and feet, and teach our young men to be worth the spark of life.

What is your stance on the LGBTQ Community?

I am pro-freedom for consenting adults.

I will not go after gay marriage. Marriage is a covenant. Government should not be making a business of covenants.

Government doesn't belong in marriage, or divorce, in the first place. I would support doing away with all government recognized marriage entirely. Government gets paid when you get married, and twice as much if you get divorced.

I want to protect the space of women and children. Children should not have their bodies chemically, or surgically altered before they reach the age of consent (18). I have no interest in denying the existence of Trans people, I just want to give children the opportunity to develop.

The problem with this movement is it is counterintuitive to the narrative we have preached for years; there is a spectrum of masculinity within being a man and a spectrum of feminity within being a woman.

We have always had women who acted more like, and identified with, men while not being a man. We have always had men who have been more feminine in nature, but they are no less men. To abandon gender is to abandon reason and to leave people vulnerable in a variety of spaces.

We can love one another, however we may come, without abandoning basic reason.

What is your stance on the 2nd Amendment?

The Second Amendment shall not be infringed.

If the government believes we should disarm, I would applaud them in leading the movement. The 2A was not made for hunting, it was written into our constitution by men who had just violently overthrown their government. The Second Amendment protects the First Amendment.

The same tyranny we have accepted abroad has come home to American soil. I have no interest in a violent revolution. I truly believe peace is the only way forward. What do you do the day after a violent revolution?

I will continue to work towards, and advocate for peace. I have no interest in seeing Americans killing Americans on American soil. I have no interest in seeing a world, and our communities, exploding with violence, but they have divided and conquered us.

This is all by design. It's time to stand together. Bring your guns if you'd like, but there is peace and strength in numbers. It's time to unify and build a better way forward.[2]
