I am running for Assembly District 21 to restore accountability, protect neighborhoods, and bring practical financial discipline to Sacramento. My platform is built around families, taxpayers, homeowners, small businesses, and constitutional rights.

Housing & Local Control
California needs more affordable housing, but housing policy must be responsible, local, and realistic. I support building more housing in major cities, transit corridors, commercial areas, and locations already zoned for higher-density projects. Growth should happen where roads, schools, utilities, emergency services, and public infrastructure can support it.

I do not support one-size-fits-all state mandates that force cities to override local planning or place large apartment buildings inside established single-family neighborhoods. Families work for years to buy a home, raise children, have a backyard, care for pets, and build stability. Housing policy should expand supply without destroying the neighborhoods people worked a lifetime to live in.

I support faster permitting, reduced delays, and removal of unnecessary regulations for projects that comply with local zoning and infrastructure capacity.

Taxes & Budget
California does not have a revenue problem; it has an accountability problem. Before Sacramento asks taxpayers for more, it must show where the money is going and whether programs are actually working.

I support full spending audits, transparent budgets, waste reduction, and measurable results. Taxpayer dollars should fund core services first: public safety, housing assistance, shelters, transportation, infrastructure, and essential local needs.

When California has revenue surpluses, government should reduce the tax burden instead of expanding bureaucracy. Families and businesses must live within a budget. Government should be held to the same standard.

AI, Technology & Rights
California should lead the nation in AI, technology, and innovation. I support policies that allow entrepreneurs, startups, developers, and businesses to grow without excessive regulation that pushes jobs, investment, and talent out of California.

But innovation must never come at the expense of constitutional rights. I support strong privacy protections, limits on misuse of personal data, safeguards for sensitive information, and clear rules that protect consumers without crushing growth.

I also oppose government censorship through digital platforms, algorithms, or AI systems. Free speech and First Amendment rights must be protected online, offline, and in every emerging technology.

Family Legacies: Prop 19 & Prop 13
I will fight to repeal Proposition 19 and protect Proposition 13 because family homes should not be treated as government revenue opportunities.

For many Californians, a home is more than property. It is where parents raised their children, where families built stability, and where generations created a legacy through hard work and sacrifice.

Current law can increase property taxes on inherited homes, making it harder for children to keep the homes they grew up in. I believe families should not be forced to sell because Sacramento changed the rules after a lifetime of work.

Protecting Prop 13 means protecting predictable property taxes, family stability, and the right to pass a home to the next generation. I will defend inherited family homes and fight to preserve the California dream.

First Amendment Rights
I will defend the First Amendment against government pressure, political censorship, and compelled ideology from either side.

Government should not silence lawful speech because it is unpopular, uncomfortable, or politically inconvenient. Parents must be free to question school curriculum. Citizens must be free to criticize public policy, foreign governments, elected officials, and political movements without fear of censorship or retaliation.

Free speech protects everyone, not only those in power. I will oppose any attempt by Sacramento, agencies, schools, platforms, or AI systems to censor lawful debate, restrict parental voices, or punish people for speaking their conscience.

Without free speech, there is no accountability.

Ethics & Accountability
Public service must belong to voters, not political machines, corporate interests, or PACs.

I reject PAC influence because elected officials should answer directly to the people they represent. Policy decisions must be based on what is right for families, taxpayers, homeowners, small businesses, and local communities.

Voters deserve transparency, independence, and measurable results. Every dollar spent by government should be traceable. Every program should be accountable. Every elected official should be judged by outcomes, not promises.

My campaign is built on grassroots support, direct voter engagement, and a commitment to put District 21 first.
