Key Issues
(from ballotpedia.org)
Economy
The middle class used to be the backbone of our economy- You can't have democracy without a substantial middle class. My litmus test for voting for or against a bill is whether or not it will fortify the Middle Class. Small Business is the driver of the Middle Classes success, not Wall Street. The top 500 corporations have not added a single net new employee in the last 40 years.
Infrastructure
Strong infrastructure is critical to a robust economy. From Traffic on the I-15 and CA-78 out to transmission lines in East County catching fire, we urgently need improvements to our infrastructure. Pressing Infrastructure needs in our local economies require addressing transportation. Los Angeles and San Francisco are grabbing the lion's share of these federal dollars while our representative, sits on the Committee for Infrastructure in congress doing little to nothing to garner these dollars for our District.
Education
Invest in our children and you invest in our future. Students pay on average 8% on their student loans, I stand for refinancing that debt down to the prime lending rate of 3.5%. Two free years of vocational training to make the workforce available for re-building America's Infrastructure, and it's the incubator for small business with the lowest barrier to entry access to free community college tuition.
Immigration
This entire country was founded by immigrants, and will continue with the wonderful diversity that the United States is known the world over for. ... I will have a bi-lingual congressional field office. My wife is a naturalized United States citizen. I'd like to help other immigrants through the application process, and support their desire to become U.S. Citizens. I know firsthand how the immigration process works, and where it needs reform.
