I don't walk away from things that I think are unfinished.

Combating climate change requires collaboration with many levels of government.

Mentally it is possible to break records, once you understand that, you can do anything.

The biggest problem that we have is that California is being run now by special interests. All of the politicians are not anymore making the moves for the people, but for special interests and we have to stop that.

You can never find a candidate that will agree with everything you believe. Then you would just have a clone and that doesn't exist.

I've seen firsthand coming here with empty pockets but full of dreams, full of desire, full of will to succeed, but with the opportunities that I had, I could make it. This is why we have to get back and bring California back to where it once was.

I never wanted to be a career politician. I always am interested just to take on challenges that everyone says are impossible to do and to take it on.
