Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am someone that works hard as a maintenance technician. Most importantly I am of the people. I ride the metro I eat at family owned restaurants. I hear directly the issues and what fails . I am a problem solver and knowing what it takes to gain resolutions.

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?

Homeless issues are not blanketed issues . We do not need to build more building we just need to use the ones we have . Like McLaren hall in El Monte.Government wasted spending we need to audit what California is spending on and end those cost divert those funds to build things like water resivors .Audit government employee we are public service and make it know that poor service to our communities will not be tolerated.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The involvement in government in total on person lives that hinder the ability to move forward on personal. Life journeys government has found away to regulate every aspect of everyone's lives ask yourself is that freedom? As time goes on the restrictions increase little by little , the spending to buy a vote get easier and easier . We watch as people are being used as pawns for political gains , and energy is depleted to force high cost to you .State dollars are freely used to go to other countries while the people in those states are set to suffer , ever hear someone say I went to get food vouchers and they ran out of them . states should not be using state funds for other country issues unless the majority has voted on that usage it is still the peoples money . Speaking of the current Governor promised the people he would lower his wages and increase the city workers . He did the opposite , I myself feel a new incoming Governor should take a pay cut and earn the increase when the people approve of the raise .

California has so many issues and with first term the primary goals will be water storage , electrical , education , adult education, fuel cost lowered , reduction on taxes , mental health and substance abuse ,homeless recovery and increasing take home wages . Together we can achieve anything , want change stop hiring the rich guy.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

This is a loaded question I look up to my dad he is a very interesting person he speaks his mind he is someone that will crush those that judge to quickly . He fights for what is right stand up for those who can not defend them selves , you are constantly learning something new and pushed to be the best you can . All the good qualities are what I aspire to be , then my uncle who passed away is another person I look up to he was a navy vet , you listened when he spoke , he taught me the value of fishing and nature , was another non filtered individual but the things he taught are being forgotten today his words to me "J.D the only man you have to worry about is the man you have to face in the mirror , if you are ok with what you see then what can you complain about "and then my cousin . My cousin has always been a go getter work hard paly hard kind of guy , he worked way more then he played , raised a wonderful family watched his sons grow to be wrestlers and go to college on a scholarship , they did the work yes but he was there to push and keep them on track . There a a few others as well it hard to not name, names the bottom line here is I have a lot of people that have great qualities wisdom , and so on if it was not for the many people in my life I am running for Governor because this state has people being taken advantage of I was taught to stand up against the bullies .

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

To have morals , faith , and love for the people . A respect for law with the understanding that man /woman are flawed all at the same time live with the fact knowing humans are inherently good by thomas hobbs 1679. A person that can let go of ego , and to inspire the uninspired by creating jobs that creates purpose .once a elected official comes to realize they are not in that position for themselves then we might have a chance to move beyond the petty subject matter we see today .You can not desire power, money and fame and be any good to the people this is a selfless position you find that person that holds those qualities this state will be the best .

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I take ownership of whatever I am involved in I see something wrong I find a solution for my problem in every aspect of my life . I want to build my bosses and owners(of the company ) up and as governor that will be you the people , I know how to find what information I need to get task done .I have first hand knowledge of community issues . I know how to lead and listen .

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

lead by example , communicate with the people , do what the voters voted for like the death penalty .if the voters say no death penalty well the governor should honor that . should be watching the peoples hard earned money that comes in from taxes and make sure no fraud is being conducted protect the peoples investment of this state .

What legacy would you like to leave?

may it bring back the patriotic mind set for future generations to come .

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Guess this would be a test of honesty , well folks I struggled with homelessness myself I worked 40 hours a week and could not get enough money to get a place to stay .I have had many struggles its been a rough life I have to admit . Oddly enough I developed a its not about me attitude and things have been going great . Except one thing and that is watching another state with multiple communities going down fast .my own city I grew up in I see tents popping up by the dozens .I watch city mayors not being proactive . I just watch till I can no longer watch . The city of el monte has a place called Mclaren Hall it could help thousands with rehab job placement so many things and they want to tear it down for a park . It is these choices that frustrate me and it should you , they spent 1.8 million on 38 units 8 by 8 when they had the space already to go with on grounds hospital and education center . What a loss that is well if nothing call city of El Monte tell them you want that place used for homeless assistance before its to late .

A governor is the top executive authority in his or her state. What does that mean do you?

I means the executive of the public servants , we all are servants in our community we all provide customer service and when we fail to provide customer service we tend to get fired from those positions . The governor is no exception to this , the only thing that wont be the same is the fact the duty to protect the constitution , to be the representative of the voice of the majority .It is not the duty of a governor to regulate or hinder the people .Once a decision has been made the governor must remember and practice no one is above the law .

Governors have many responsibilities, which vary from state to state. Which of those do you personally consider the most important in your state?

Water all issues are important the simple fact is and hate to make this sort but water, if you have no water you have no life .

Different states require governors to have different degrees of responsibility for the state budgeting process. If it were your choice, what do you believe is the appropriate degree of gubernatorial involvement with this process in your state?

Degrees do not mean you have the knowledge , so none everyone has weaknesses and strengths . I have known people with degrees and did not know anything that they were doing .

In most states, governors have the power to make line-item vetoes. If that is true in your state, what would be your philosophy for how and when to use this power?

when what was being proposed goes against the constitution or the people of the state voted against it, the bottom line on this is rather it be a law or whatever , less is more the mayors and governors need to focus on getting the communities built up and create unity . Lets face it Californias are at each others throats because of laws and regulations I will veto anything that does not build people up .I think we need to audit or current laws .

If the governor's office in your state does not have the line-item veto power, do you believe it should? Why or why not?

yes because if you do not let them then you have broken chain of command .

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

they need to work together , disagreements are good it puts things in perspective and forces everyone to communicate we have checks and balances for a reason . Both the governor and state legislature need to make sure the language that is used in laws are not that hinders its people and that the laws do not create hardships .

What do you love most about your state?

I love how this state builds confidence in people , I watch back woods country people come here with a dream and a bag of clothes , with hard work a determination they look at the Hollywood sign and pursue a dream . With all odds against them they fail over and over for those that do not see failure as a lesson well those are the once we never get to see yet they have so much talent . For those that do see failure as a lesson and continue on become mega stars . It is that hidden gem California has and with time and the right voice the uninspired can be inspired .

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

wow what part to begin with , well recovery from a pandemic still fighting a virus . our prison system upgrades to our power grid , water , homelessness , government spending , housing and housing cost with the revival of the American dream ,race relations , education and the cost for a high education exploration of co2 capture waste management can we improve on that , reverse engineering of plastics hemp and other useful products like paper and oil maybe for car fuel . alternate fuel studies and exploration of development of those fuels , I like the carbon neutral fuel .

Under what circumstances should the governor of your state be able to use emergency powers?

when a emergency happens like the big one earthquake or other way out situations , not for green deals or some ones feeling got hurt . If it happens out of country the people will have a voice on those situations this may seem in humane to some however this keeps those in this position from abusing the position .
