An Independent Thinker. Strategic. Pragmatic. Committed to Representation.
The Sierra Nevada and Central Valley communities in Senate District 4 form the backbone of California. Our farms and ranches feed the world and we are home to some of the most beautiful rural landscapes in the state. We stand for home-town values and support our local schools and businesses. In our California, we believe in coming together to solve problems at a local level and honoring our public safety officers.
I’m running because our district needs courageous, principled leadership that represents our values in the State Capitol, forces Sacramento politicians to see, hear, and understand what we care about, and stop them from imposing one-size-fits-all policies that hurt our way of life.
As your Senator, I will champion policy to build a strong economy and stand up to aggressive government overreach in our homes and communities.
That means opposing taxes, addressing gas prices, addressing inflation, securing our water supply, bringing better educational opportunities, attracting employers who pay livable wages, and expanding internet connectivity.
It means women controlling their own healthcare decisions, fewer state mandates, and less interference in people’s everyday lives and freedoms.
I’ll be a Senator who listens first- then leads with humility to represent every rural and valley resident with honor.
- Protect Your Paycheck by Opposing Taxes, Lowering Gas Prices and Addressing Inflation
- Keep You Safe through Wildlife Prevention and Suppression and Justice for Victims
- Protecting the Sierra and Central Valley Way of Life, Representing Our Values, Securing our Water Supply and Bringing Better Education Opportunities

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.
