In their own words
Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I’ve lived the struggles Californians face every day and then some. I have had to deal with the agonizing loss of my twin son, have dealt with divorce, losing my home to fraudulent practices by Wells Fargo, becoming homeless and living in my car for a few months, and having to depend on government assistance.
Currently, as a small business owner, I have to deal with government overreach, where there are extreme regulations, taxes, and nefarious charges set on the trucking industry, making it expensive to conduct business as a carrier in California. I will fight entrenched special interests and bring practical, accountable leadership that puts people first — lowering the cost of living, restoring safety, and rebuilding trust in government.
Independent leadership focused on public safety, opportunity, affordable living, and a stronger future for California families.
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?
Objective
The plan seeks to achieve full oil independence for California by using all state oil resources, reducing reliance on external suppliers.
Strategy
California will expand drilling and extraction of all available oil to meet its energy needs locally.
Collaboration with Oil Companies
The state will negotiate with oil companies to return, creating an accessible and affordable business environment.
Regulatory Reforms
California will eliminate the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and lower vehicle registration costs to support these efforts.One of my top priorities is to expose government waste and corruption, beginning with Gavin Newsome. I believe that your tax dollars should serve you, not be diverted by corrupt politicians for their own benefit. I am dedicated to holding these individuals accountable and will work tirelessly to ensure they face appropriate legal consequences for any treasonous actions committed.
In addition to government accountability, I am committed to hold major banks, including institutions like Wells Fargo accountable. Many past customers who were defrauded have yet to receive justice, and it is essential that these wrongdoings are rectified. Those responsible must face severe penalties to ensure that such misconduct does not continue unpunished.Healthcare Reform Advocacy
I strongly support healthcare reform, recognizing that the current healthcare system is often too expensive for many individuals.
Comprehensive Coverage for All
It is essential to implement reforms that guarantee comprehensive healthcare coverage for everyone. Ensuring universal access can help improve overall health outcomes.
Insurance Policy Revisions
Existing insurance policies exclude many medications and impose high costs on patients. Revising these policies to provide broader coverage and reduce financial barriers will make healthcare more accessible.
Copay charges can be unreasonable at times, further increasing the financial burden on patients. Reforms should focus on making copays fair an affordable.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Addressing Homelessness with Compassion and Resolve
I am committed to tackling homelessness assertively and responsibly. My approach combines decisive action with genuine empathy, informed by my personal experience of having been homeless myself. This perspective ensures that my plan considers both practical solutions and the dignity of those affected.
Upholding Constitutional Rights
I am unwavering in my support for the Second Amendment. The right to bear arms is a fundamental freedom, and I believe these rights are non-negotiable. Protecting and preserving this constitutional guarantee remains a top priority.
What is something that has been a struggle in your life?
Losing my son.
Governors have many responsibilities, which vary from state to state. Which of those do you personally consider the most important in your state?
Cost of living.
