It’s been 3 weeks since the election and ballots are still not completely counted which is preventing a handful of races from being called, including mine. This is utterly ridiculous and should not be accepted as the norm. California must do better.

California could be energy independent. Kern county produces the cleanest oil in the world yet we are importing the majority of our oil from countries that produce a more crude oil. You could lower gas prices today and be taking better care of environment by letting Kern drill.

AB5 was a half-baked and typical one size-fits all approach the CA Legislature supermajority passed knowing it was going to exacerbate rising costs and inflation. Working family’s suffer the most from AB5 and the repercussions will be devastating for millions of Californians.

It has been like this between “the two camps” for awhile. Opinions generated from any perspective other then the far-left is met with droning contemptuous insults, and a cancel culture mindset. Public discourse has been dead in America for quite some time.

Soft on crime politicians are going to have to answer to their districts this November. We cannot continue to allow an ineffective criminal justice system perpetuated by terrible public policy any longer. As a parent I am deeply concerned about my childrens future safety.

The overwhelming support of local law enforcement for my campaign continues to grow. Including recently from Kern DA Cindy Zimmer who had previously endorsed Hurtado, but recently rescinded her endorsement because of Hurtado voting to not make human trafficking a violent felony.

Covid lockdowns in California were a failure and contributed to the greatest deficiency of childhood education in modern history. Our Democrat ran supermajority and Governor are inept and to blame for this travesty. It’s our responsibility to replace them this election.

It is not over. This is a political stunt from her campaign. Also the count was at -22 ballots after Kern County found 10 extra ballots after they had initially certified. We have gained 8 votes and are now -14. I will let the public know when the recount is over.

Make yourself useful and open up an investigation as to why the emergency alarm systems were not used in Lahaina instead of pursuing purely partisan witch-hunts. There are much bigger issues at hand that actually affect the cizitens of the US that require accountability.

California’s grid is not capable of handling a hot weekend - mandating all new vehicles sold to be electric by 2035 is asinine. Sacramento needs common sense now more then ever.
