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?
Increase Public Safety and address rising crimeTackling the rising cost of livingProperly manage our forests
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Forest management and lowering the cost of housing. David has personally worked on lawsuits to protect local control and vows to take the fight straight to Sacramento
What is something that has been a struggle in your life?
I grew up in North Highlands, CA as a first-generation American from the island of Tonga. I have worked my way out of generational poverty and want to give others the tools to do so themselves.
What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?
The greatest challenge California will face over the next decade is the mass exodus of bright individuals, businesses, and community leaders from our State. High taxes, burdensome regulations, and wasteful spending have left CA families with no option but to leave the state. We must work toward solutions that cut government programs, while protecting the middle class and lowering the insane cost of living in CA. Without families being able to own a home, this exodus will only continue.
