Candidate for
State Senator; District 36; Republican Party

Supervisor Jeff Stone serves the 3rd Supervisorial District in Riverside County, representing over 500,000 constituents.

Jeff is a common sense conservative running for the California State Senate. Proud that he is not obligated to any Sacramento Special Interests, Jeff believes it's time to take a stand and reclaim California from the dysfunctional politicians at the state Capitol. His goal is to restore common sense, traditional values and conservative principles back to our state government.

Like President Ronald Reagan, Jeff believes that government is not the solution but instead it is usually the problem.

Appalled that the Legislature would burden families with more taxes, Jeff Stone in May 2009 mounted his own campaign against State Proposition 1A. Dubbed "No Way 1A", he invested over $35,000 to defeat the measure and was named a statewide co-chairman against the outrageous tax hike.

Jeff is a prominent leader in public safety issues and has been endorsed by the Riverside County Sheriff's Association since his days as a councilmember in Temecula.

Jeff supports the right of individuals to keep and bear arms to protect self, family and community, and like 36 other states that California should be a "shall-issue" concealed carry State.

He supports a strong national defense; he believes that our best defense starts with a secured international border. Jeff opposes illegal immigration and the huge financial burden it puts on taxpayers.

Jeff believes in individual liberty and also personal responsibility. He recognizes the sanctity of life, that life begins at conception and that abortion is wrong. Jeff and his wife Regina live in Temecula and have three sons and one daughter.

He was born in Los Angeles in 1956 and raised in Anaheim - a town with hundreds of young hard-working families from all walks of life. Like so many other struggling married couples, Jeff's father and mother lived very modestly in a 1,150 square foot, 3-bedroom home. Jeff, along with his younger sister Lori, attended local Anaheim public schools.

In 1981, now graduated from the University of Southern California with a Doctorate of Pharmacy, Jeff struck out on his own to build his career serving people as a Pharmacist and to start his family. He settled in the Temecula Valley, a peaceful family-focused region in Riverside County. In 1983, He opened his first of many successful neighborhood pharmacies, the Temecula Pharmacy.

In 1992, after a decade of success helping his patients live better through his passion as a Pharmacist, Jeff began to recognize the telltale signs of gang crime moving into his budding city.

He was determined to defend the quality of life he and so many others enjoyed in the Temecula Valley, so he stepped forward into the public arena.

Jeff confronted the local city council to act against the blight of gangs and graffiti, only to be ignored; so he campaigned for City Council and defeated the Mayor pro-tem.
