Serve the constituents of the ninth district, fight for the Central Valley and lead the Republican Assembly Caucus to introduce legislation that protects Californian's and makes our state more affordable.
I ran for State Assembly for the same reason I joined the fire service, to serve my community. It has been a privilege and an honor to serve as your State Assembly Member and represent our region in the Capitol. 

The State Assembly is made up of 80 members. 60 of those members are democrats and 20 are Republicans. As your representative, I have fought back liberal legislation that would have banned police dogs, made it a crime to defend yourself against a home intruder, and I even repealed the states fire tax which unfairly taxed rural residents. I will continue to be a voice for common sense and be an advocate for our region and our interests. 

I was recently honored to be elected by my fellow Republicans to serve as Leader of the Republican Caucus in the Assembly. In this role, I work every day with my colleagues to push back against harmful proposals, including the Democrats’ mileage tax, and to demand accountability through audits of the waste, fraud, and abuse that have plagued our state government for decades. Our caucus is laser-focused on exposing the negative impacts of woke-progressive policies, fighting bad legislation in committee, and working to elect more Republicans who will restore much needed balance and accountability in Sacramento.

Serving as your representative has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I remain committed to fighting for you, your families, and the future of our communities. I humbly ask for your support and your vote so I can continue serving the people of the Ninth Assembly District.
I have and will continue to support cutting state bureaucracy that only adds costs to housing.
No teacher should have to purchase supplies for their classroom out of their own pocket. Making California more affordable helps everyone especially low income families.
California voters passed Prop 1 in 2014. I have fought relentlessly to implement what the people of California asked for overwhelmingly. I’m proud that Sites reservoir is moving forward and we’re working on other projects to expand the states water capacity to support our population and our farms.
