Common sense

A balanced grid with reliable baseload power, coastline protection, and secure water storage and drought resilience.
Immigration
Secure the border, remove violent offenders, provide legal clarity for long term residents, and modernize agricultural and seasonal visas.
Defending America
Stop fentanyl at the source, lead in AI and cyber defense, and strengthen Vandenberg SFB and Naval Base Ventura County.
