Candidate for
State Senator; District 4

JIM NIELSEN, REPUBLICAN

The State Legislature is broken. We need to cut up their credit card, take back the checkbook and defeat the tax increases on the November ballot. As a rancher and owner of a small business that helps farmers, I'm running for the Senate because I care about Butte County and the North State too much to stand by and do nothing while arrogant politicians in Sacramento abuse taxpayers in order to advance their own political careers.

As your representative, I'll work to stop the spending spree that created a $16 billion deficit. Oppose any and all attempts to raise taxes, you already pay too much. Protect our water rights and stop the transfer of more North State water to Los Angeles. Overturn crazy regulations on farms and businesses that harm our economy and drive jobs away. Repeal Jerry Brown's law that releases thousands of dangerous criminals early into our counties.

I'm honored to be endorsed by State Senator Doug LaMalfa, Supervisor Steve Lambert; former Supervisor Curt Josiassen and Lew Uhler, President of the National Tax Limitation Committee.

Growing up on a small farm, one of the first lessons I learned was the value of hard work and respect. My pledge to you is to never stop working to protect our North State values and to always respect you and all voters, because you are the boss of government, not the other way around. I would be honored to receive your vote. Please visit http://www.NielsenforSenate.com to find out more. Thank you.
