In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I agree with the majority of Americans that voter ID, immigration, and tariffs are the top issues impacting California. Americans have overwhelmingly supported voter ID and a secure border. When elected, I will work with the House of Representatives to further strengthen these issues. As an entrepreneur for several decades, I understand how tariffs can help or harm our economy. I will share my knowledge to build up our economy.”
“As a first-generation immigrant, I understand this issue firsthand. I believe the federal government should first consider our national interests and prioritize immigrants who can benefit our country, have the best interests, and are not a drain to our society. We should secure our borders.”
