Issue Position: Rein In Spending

Issue Position

Every month, California families stretch their budgets and pinch their pennies. But not so in the State Capitol. There, CPAs with their budget gimmicks and the relentless taxers with their creative tax schemes encourage the state's spending spree. I've seen these gimmicks up close on the Budget and Appropriations Committees and have fought against all of them. The problem with California's budget is easy to understand; Sacramento spends too much, it doesn't tax too little. We need State Senators who will continue to say no to the liberals' relentless tax and spend policies.

When pet projects, political handouts to special interests, and ineffective programs take priority over you putting gas in the car, buying new school clothes, or repairing the water heater, something is seriously wrong in our state. I have called the liberals out and never once voted for their unfair, bloated, and pork-laden budgets. In the State Senate, I will continue to put you and your budget first, not Sacramento's.
