Questions & Answers

1. What can be done to ensure that California gets its fair share of federal resources?

California has the largest congressional delegation, yet we are cheated every year from our full share of federal money. As Californians our congressional delegation should unite to ensure we do not get short changed. As a local elected offcial I have been able to work with Dems and Reps alike, and I intend to bring this experience to Washington, DC.

2. What are your foreign policy priorities for the United States?

Our number one priority should be restoring our credibility as a "world leader" and this can only be done be succeeding in both Afganistan and Iraq. We should immediately get the United Nations involved as a partner.

3. What are your priorities for the federal budget?

To close all the loopholes used by greedy corporations that avoid paying their fair share of taxes and balance the budget.
