Today we celebrated the small businesses that are the backbone of the 40th District at our annual Small Business Reception, recognizing our distinguished businesses and proudly naming Valley Center Oil our Small Business of the Year. Dave Bohorquez and the VC Oil team have served the Valley Center community for over five decades with the kind of dedication and heart that does not come with a business plan. #FixCalifornia

Honored to host the @RealtorsSD, @PSARNews and @NSDCRealtors at our district office today to present resolutions recognizing their incredible work for homeownership in our community. We had a real conversation about the barriers standing between California families and the homes they deserve to own and what it is going to take to remove them. The fight for affordability starts with people like this in the room. #FixCalifornia

Democrats Are Taxing The People It Has Left After Driving Everyone Else Out. Six billionaires left before this tax was even real, taking an estimated $536 billion from California's tax base. The top 1 percent already carry 39 percent of all personal income tax. Chief Executive Magazine ranked California dead last for business for the 14th year in a row. A billionaire tax does not fix a spending and accountability problem. It accelerates it. #FixCalifornia californiaglobe.com/fr/calif…

The Government Does Not Raise Your Kids. California's education establishment spent years choosing unions over parents and calling it accountability. Restricting charter schools. Limiting choices. Treating families like a problem to manage rather than the whole point of the system. Parents are done with it and voters are making that clear. #FixCalifornia californiaglobe.com/fr/when-…

Fraud By Design. I have been sounding the alarm on Medi-Cal fraud for years. California referred just 127 providers for investigation statewide while Los Angeles alone has at least 800 fraudulent hospice providers. This is what zero accountability looks like. #FixCalifornia nypost.com/2026/06/08/opinio…

Congratulations to Assemblyman @J_Gallagher4CA on taking California's fight to Washington. There is no better preparation for Congress than years of standing firm for this state outnumbered and outgunned in Sacramento. Assemblyman Gallagher did that without flinching every single day. The Assembly will not be the same without him and Washington is lucky to have him. Godspeed James. #FixCalifornia

Gas Is Already $6. California Is Raising the Tax Again on July 1. The state gas tax goes up 2.2 cents per gallon on July 1 under a law requiring automatic annual increases. California will now charge 63.4 cents per gallon in gas taxes alone. The highest in the nation. Newsom was asked about a gas tax holiday while families are paying $6 a gallon. He said no. On July 1 he is raising it instead. #FixCalifornia sacbee.com/news/california/a…

Texas Just Took California's Fortune 500 Crown. For the first time Texas has more Fortune 500 companies than California. 57 to 56. Companies cite high taxes, crushing regulations and cost of living as the reasons they left. California is now proposing a billionaire tax that is already pushing more out the door. You do not lose the Fortune 500 crown by accident. #FixCalifornia nypost.com/2026/06/03/busine…

Eight years as governor. Highest gas prices in the nation. Two refineries closed. No pipelines. 60 percent foreign imports. But you blame the man who’s term started less than two years ago. #FixCalifornia

Democrats Paid $20 Million for Savings That Never Came. California Democrats hired consultants for $20 million to find prison savings. The consultants made big promises. Democrats delivered less than 20 percent of what was promised. This is what one party rule with no accountability looks like. Overpromise. Overspend. Underdeliver. #FixCalifornia sacbee.com/news/politics-gov…

Newsom Calls It a Balanced Budget. California Employers Call It Another Reason to Leave. Over 500 major employers have left California since 2018. Gas is above $6 a gallon. The unemployment debt every other state paid is still unpaid. And Newsom's response in his final budget is to raise taxes on employers by $5 billion. The businesses that survived his shutdowns, kept people employed and held this economy together are now being handed the bill for his failures. #FixCalifornia sacculturalhub.com/entertain…

They Confirmed Them Anyway. These are the commissioners who released David Funston, a serial child predator serving life sentences. Who released Roberto Detrinidad, a rapist who called his attack his Super Bowl after less than a decade behind bars. Who released Gregory Vogelsang, a confessed pedophile sentenced to 300 years. All of it done in secret with no public record and no accountability. Senate Republicans opposed every single reappointment today. California Democrats confirmed every one of these commissioners anyway. #FixCalifornia

AB 2108 Will Put Criminals Back on Your Streets. Californians voted for Prop 36 in every single county. Now Democrats are gutting it with a bill that lets retail thieves walk with a diversion program instead of consequences. This tells every criminal in California that voters do not matter and consequences do not exist. #FixCalifornia

California's State Worker Union Just Used CEQA to Block a Return to Work Order. The same law blocking new homes in California is now being used to stop state employees from returning to the office. CEQA was never meant for this but when you build a regulatory monster with no limits eventually it gets used against everything. #FixCalifornia sacbee.com/news/politics-gov…

Today is Election Day, California! Head to the polls and make your voice heard. Let’s fix our state together. 🗳️ #FixCalifornia

Your Grocery Bill Is an Energy Bill. Ground beef up 19%. Tomatoes up 50%. Coffee up 29%. Energy costs drive every step of the food supply chain from growing to freezing to shipping. California already has the highest energy costs in the nation because of CARB mandates and a decade of policies that killed domestic production. Every bad energy decision made in this state shows up at your grocery store. #FixCalifornia sfchronicle.com/personal-fin…

Gavin Newsom Wants $20 Million to Honor Himself on His Way Out. Gas is $6. California has a structural deficit. Newsom quietly tucked $20 million into his final budget to honor living former governors including himself once he leaves in January. His own Democrats called it absurd. He already has a bronze bust of himself in San Francisco City Hall. Apparently that is not enough. #FixCalifornia nypost.com/2026/05/26/us-new…

I am proud to recognize Meals on Wheels San Diego as my Nonprofit of the Year. Every day this organization shows up for seniors in our community who depend on them not just for a meal but for a friendly face and a moment of connection. Thank you @MealsonWheelsSD for your service to District 40.

SB 1173 already failed in the Legislature once, and the California Supreme Court rejected this idea decades ago. So why are Democrats bringing it back? They keep trying to hand felons a menu of get-out-of-jail-free options. That’s not public safety. It puts Californians at risk. #FixCalifornia

San Diego County Just Grew Its Budget by 6% and Added 108 New Positions. They say they looked under every rock before asking families to absorb cuts. What they found under every rock was a reason to spend more. $9.1 billion. 108 new staff positions. 6 percent budget increase. The left’s definition of fiscal discipline is not the same as yours. #FixCalifornia timesofsandiego.com/politics…
