If he becomes governor:
Would address homelessness through more shelters and treatment, and conduct an audit of all state funding and programs Would redirect funding from projects such as high-speed rail to highways, bridges, dams, reservoirs, levees, power plants Would end the state of emergency for the pandemic on his first day in office and opposes mask mandates for students and teachers Would support school vouchers to allow funding to follow the student, and break up the Los Angeles Unified School District into smaller districts Would oppose “critical race theory” being taught in schools Would undo “sanctuary state” designation that limits federal immigration officials from working with local law enforcement Would reverse expansion of Medi-Cal benefits to undocumented people Would refuse to support any candidate who accepts contributions from lobbyists Would use executive orders to roll back agency regulations that businesses find restrictive such as those on gig workers
