Traditional Values

After over 7 years in the Legislature, my 100% Pro-Life voting record demonstrates my longtime commitment to opposing abortion and defending life at every stage.

I’ve fought against funding for Planned Parenthood and the shameful legacy of its founder. I fought legislation that forces our universities to provide the abortion pill at student health clinics, and I stood up against efforts that devalue women’s lives by expanding access to unsafe abortion practices and sub-standard facilities, irrespective of the danger they pose to those lives.

I fought legislation that threatened religious colleges’ ability to fulfill their mission in accordance with their faith and the wishes of students and their parents. I opposed ACR 99 which separates people of faith from their first amendment rights of free speech and religious liberty.

I fought legislation that violated parental rights and the privacy of K-12 students by requiring public schools to allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice. I stood up for parental rights by opposing AB 329 (2015) which took “the responsibility to teach children about life and moral issues away from their parents and gave that authority to the state education bureaucracy and an extreme liberal agenda.”

Capitol Resource Family Impact gave me 100% ratings for my steadfast defense of life, religious freedom, and parental rights.

Fiscal Responsibility

Washington needs a dose of our district's values. For example: don’t spend more than you bring in.

Where I come from we call that common sense. Maybe those in Washington don’t care, but my neighbors and I think a $22 trillion debt is outrageous.

This was a problem before this President was sworn in. While his efforts to grow the economy will put us in a better position long term, the core of the problem persists. The mess we’re leaving to my kids, and their kids, keeps me up at night.

Of course, the first thing liberals would say is “that’s why we need to raise taxes.” Wrong. We need to get our spending under control. Our economy is strong, thanks in part to the President’s 2017 tax cuts. With an expanding economy, the federal government will have the revenue it needs so long as they prioritize.

Lessening the amount of taxes people pay in my opinion is actually a solid first step to cutting the deficit.

To paraphrase President Ronald Reagan - 'let American families keep their hard-earned dollars. They will do a better job investing than the government bureaucrats will."

The second step to reducing the nation's deficit is to reduce government spending. Sounds simple, yet it has confounded Presidents and Congresses of both parties for decades. Government spending and our deficits have skyrocketed year after year.

Those 'Continuing Resolutions' simply to keep government operating (with increased spending) but without any real spending reforms are a disservice to the American people in my opinion.

Call me old-fashioned but I will be a deficit-hawk as a member of the U.S. Congress. That's what I have done in the California Legislature which is why the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association gave me a perfect rating.

Strong Military

We live in a dangerous world where freedom is constantly threatened. Our President recognizes that reality, and I support his investments to modernize our military and maximize readiness after the dramatic cuts they’ve sustained since 2011.

I also support our President's efforts to make sure our Nation's military is focused on missions that have achievable and realistic goals and timetables. Sending the brave men and women of our military into endless faraway conflicts with no resolution in sight is costly and dangerous.

Additionally, President Trump is the first President in decades who believes other countries who benefit from U.S. military presence and protection should be asked to pay their fair share. I applaud and support this action by our President.

Border Security

A strong country has strong borders, pure and simple. We should build the wall. No one needs to tell us in Southern California about whether border security works.

I strongly support the President’s efforts to secure our border and to eliminate illegal immigration. As a State Legislator, I have consistently opposed the extension of state benefits and services to illegal immigrants, and have been an outspoken opponent of so called “Sanctuary” Laws at the State and Local level.

There have been too many recent examples in California (and other states) of the danger these 'sanctuary' laws pose:

  • Police officers and innocent citizens murdered by criminal illegal immigrants who never should have been allowed into our country.
  • Federal officials being prohibited from deporting violent criminals caught by local or state law enforcement;
  • Violence committed upon law-abiding legal immigrant families when criminal illegal immigrants terrorize and hide in their communities.

I believe the safety of Americans depends upon strengthening our borders and repealing sanctuary laws. I look forward to helping the President tackle both these challenges.

Law and Order

The Deputy Sheriffs’ Association of San Diego County endorsed me for Congress and their President, David Leonhardi called me “a good friend and leading supporter of law enforcement throughout (my) time in local office and as a member of the State Assembly and the State Senate." I support local law enforcement working with Federal immigration agencies.

El Cajon Association President Travis Howard stated that “Once we make an endorsement, we support that candidate all the way. We want the people of El Cajon to know Brian Jones is the choice of law enforcement...The highest priority for the citizens of El Cajon is public safety. Jones has done that at the local and state level and he will continue to do that at the federal level. The thin blue line stands behind Brian Jones is his campaign for congress."

I will stand with than the men and women on the frontlines of law enforcement. I pray for their safety every day and feel grateful that so many of our finest have agreed to serve our community as part of this honorable profession.

That’s why I am proud to have the support of the San Diego Police Officers Association and the El Cajon Police Officers Association.

Second Amendment

Those of us that don’t have the luxuries of armed security guards or tall walls keeping us from the dangerous predators in the real world know why the second amendment is so important. I was the California Rifle and Pistol Association's Legislator of the Year because of my track record defending that right.

I was raised with firearms and own them today for both protection and recreation.

I have a perfect voting record from Gun Rights Groups, and have tried to spread the word, and educate more of our fellow citizens by sponsoring an annual 2nd Amendment Awareness event in my district.

I am also a founding board member of San Diego County Gun Owners.

I am not interested in passing more laws to restrict the rights of law abiding gun owners, which will be ignored entirely by criminals. That just stacks the deck against us.

In Sacramento I fought against the liberal Democrat legislators who favor more rights for criminals and less rights for law-abiding Californians.

I'll carry this same fight to Washington D.C.[17]

Scorecards

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
