Californians are tired of politics. They want solutions. I am running for Governor to unite California around practical results and restore the California dream. I believe in a simple promise: if you want a job in California, you should be able to find one here. Our state was built by entrepreneurs, small businesses, farmers, innovators, and workers willing to take risks and work hard. Government’s role is to create the conditions for opportunity, not stand in the way. Since 1991, I have built businesses and created jobs in California. I have traveled across our state meeting with mayors and local leaders from both parties. They all want the same fundamentals: safe streets, strong schools, thriving local economies, and accountability for taxpayer dollars. California should be the state of the future, not a state where families and employers feel forced to leave. Tax revenue is not a business model. Growth, innovation, and job creation are. My priorities are clear. Economic Development that streamlines regulation, supports small businesses, strengthens workforce training, and expands opportunity across every region. Health and Safety that funds proven mental health treatment, practical housing solutions, and accountable public safety. Power Back to the People by restoring local control, ending unfunded mandates, uncovering fraud, and ensuring full transparency in how tax dollars are spent. Together, we can rebuild opportunity and move forward as One California.
