Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Can you afford four more years of the highest energy rates and highest gas prices in the nation? The high cost of gas and food hurts us all. California doesn't need to be in a constant state of crisis. Failed political leadership is destroying California and hurting California families. It's time for change. That's why I support suspending the state's 54 cents per gallon gas tax which would save the average family over $1500 a year. The state has spent billions on the homeless, but the homelessness crisis is worse than ever. We need to focus our resources on getting people off the streets and the help they need. Making California neighborhoods safer is critical. That's why I will reverse failed policies that released thousands of violent repeat offenders from prison and fix broken laws that let criminals steal without being held accountable. California is heading in the wrong direction. The next generation is counting on us to turn it around. I'm a business owner, State Senator, and farmer who will work with Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to build a better tomorrow. There is hope for California, let’s bring back the California dream. Can I count on your vote? www.briandahle.com
