- Education
-
I believe that California's public education system should be number one in our country. Every child should be taught the basic skills necessary to hold down a job that supplies a middle-class living. I support early childhood education, advanced technology in the classroom, and vocational education training. I will work to ensure that our schools are funded and all children have the opportunity to succeed.
- Public Safety
-
Our children deserve to live in safe neighborhoods. Children who drop out of school drop into street gangs, and prisons are expensive alternatives to decent schools.
While I am a supporter of tough sentence guidelines for violent criminals, I also believe in crime prevention and investing in our young people.
- California's Economy - Agriculture, Water & Job Creation
-
Agriculture is one of the greatest economic engines in the State of California. But there are a great number of issues pressing our agriculture industry today, and they play a central role in the lives of many of our citizens - our farmers, consumers, labor unions, farmworkers and their children. I look forward to continuing to be a stong voice for agriculture and a leader on these issues.
