When COVID-19 cases first appeared in the U.S., no one knew what the right approach to take was. Gavin Newsom handle the COVID-19 pandemic and how would you manage a pandemic as governor?Ī: As an officer in the military, I know that when you’re going into a conflict where the facts are unknown, you must proceed with caution. I support the recall of any district attorneys who are unwilling to hold criminals accountable for their actions. As governor, I would support our law enforcement officers and equip them to do their job when we need them most. City of Los Angeles, ballot measures and ill-conceived legislation that have tied the hands of law enforcement have only exacerbated this disaster.Īccountability would be the cornerstone of my administration as governor. This disaster can be traced directly back to recent policies and several high-profile measures that have released thousands of criminals from jail (Assembly Bill 109) and decreased penalties for career criminals (Propositions 47 and 57), effectively incentivizing lawlessness. It is time to call the situation what it is - a public safety, health and environmental disaster. In countless other cities and urban cores around the state, addicts and mentally ill people are defecating and shooting up in plain sight. Major cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are on the verge of lawlessness, due in large part to the homeless crisis in these cities that has allowed criminals, drug addicts and the mentally ill to take over entire neighborhoods. Gavin Newsom has failed miserably at this most sacred of gubernatorial responsibilities, and the ramifications for the state have been catastrophic.
1 responsibility of any governor is to ensure that their citizens are safe, so that they can engage in their day-to-day activities without fear of physical harm. Q: How would you address concerns about rising crime overall? What do you feel about current efforts to revise criminal justice reform laws like Propositions 47 and 57? What changes would you support?Ī: The No.
It is not compassionate to let someone live on the streets. And there will be a curfew so you will not come in at any hour. You will not steal from this house to support your drug addiction. If we are going to offer you a home, then there will be conditions attached to it. That is how we have operated with my family members for as a long as I can remember. Right now, my uncle Tim is living somewhere on Skid Row in Los Angeles. There were times in my life when my family was close to homelessness. Further, we have to end the “housing first” policy. Before we continue to spend millions of dollars on this issue, we must audit our existing programs and determine where our money is going. For far too long, California has blindly thrown money at the homelessness problem and failed to apply commonsense solutions that will get those who are homeless the specific help they need. As governor, I will treat California’s homeless people with the compassion that they deserve, but it will be commonsense compassion, not blind compassion. What should the state be doing that it isn’t? What’s working and what is not working?Ī: Solving the homelessness crisis in California will require rethinking the nature and meaning of compassion for the homeless population, a reassessment of the underlying assumptions that have informed the policies of recent years, and a recalibration of where tolerance ends and law enforcement begins. Q: Homelessness has exploded statewide despite unprecedented attention and state aid. Q: Housing affordability has been a central focus for state lawmakers for years, yet home prices and rents are soaring, and investor speculation is greater than ever.
