  • "The 9th Congressional District is part of the bread basket of California and the Nation. Our farmers are over regulated. California’s CAL OSHA, EPA, Department of Food and Agriculture and others are many times the problem and not the solution to farming." (votesmart.org)
  • "The current spending spree of Congress is unsustainable, and can only lead to the ruin of our country. Though often said, there is fundamental truth in the old saying "you cannot tax your way to prosperity." And yet it seems as if the irresponsible, if not immoral spending habits of Washington if left unchecked, will force more businesses to leave the country, and discourage investment in jobs. Our fiscal decline has been helped in no small part by the anti-business members of Congress, like Jerry McNerney." (votesmart.org)

  • "Our farmers are over regulated. California's CAL OSHA, EPA, Department of Food and Agriculture and others are many times the problem and not the solution to farming. Water and energy are the engines of our region's prosperity. Without sufficient access to water, our vital farm industry will fail. Without affordable energy, our economic engine will sputter to a stop. We must increase water storage throughout our region, and provide the means to deliver it to thirsty farms." (votesmart.org)

  • "I believe that every law-abiding American Citizen has the right to self-defense which is protected by the plain language of the 2nd Amendment as their right to keep and bear arms. I will vote against any attempts to weaken or abolish the 2nd Amendment." (votesmart.org)
  • "Our rights are unalienable rights, which means they cannot be taken away and come from God. Government was created to protect those rights, not to serve as a socialist organization guaranteeing people free health care, free college, and other social 'perks'." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Three lies: you can keep your doctor, you can keep your insurance, and you will save $2,500 per family. Health care is the law, but it is broken. Tony will work to fix it." (votesmart.org)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "We are not a sovereign nation if we can't control our borders. The drug trafficking, human trafficking, and illegals "bum rushing" our borders needs to be stopped. YES, BUILD THE WALL." (www.facebook.com)
  • "I believe in compassion and a path to citizenship for legal immigrants, but not amnesty for those who have broken our laws." (votesmart.org)
  • "The Obama administration and Jerry McNerney have been AWOL in the war on ISIS. Now we face a threat that has the potential to exceed anything that Al Qaeda posed to our national security. From the nuclear arming of Iran to the rogue state of North Korea, our jeopardy has never been greater. I will not sacrifice our security to allow our nation to protect "the rights" of terrorists and rogue nations who do not play by the rules." (votesmart.org)
