Issue Position: Family Values

Issue Position

Chuck DeVore has a solid record on sustaining traditional values

Regarding family values, the first rule of government should be to "do no harm." Unfortunately, liberal activist lawmakers, such as Barbara Boxer, as well as liberal judges, are constantly trying to remake society in their vision by using the power of government. If elected U.S. Senator I know my biggest impact on values will be in the votes I make to confirm federal judges. In a prospective judge, I'll look for those who understand that the role of government is to secure our "unalienable" rights as set forth in the preamble of the Declaration of Independence and that the Judicial Branch's role is not to legislate from the bench.

I'm proud to have been one of 18 lawmakers who received a perfect pro-family score from the Capitol Resource Family Impact for voting in 2007-08. Capitol Resource Family Impact runs California's only pro-family state lawmaker ranking. The full score card may be viewed here.
