You have a choice. The Democrats and Republicans continue to practice partisan politics in Sacramento. The time they spend disrespecting each others party has proven to inhibit their ability to legislate. Matt Monica will unify the 37th District. We must have less government and realistic priorities. You will know where I stand on issues.

For example:

• Economic recovery based on small business incentives, restructuring the tax system and cost effective health, welfare and human services
• Jobs based on payments to companies who hire new employees and worker training programs;
• Adequate funding for education based on the implementation of privately run state prisons (will save billions)
• Remember, as of today's date, I guarantee the voters I will never vote for a tax increase in any category
• Advocate for Pro-life and traditional marriage
• Adequate funding for public safety including law enforcement and fire protection by cutting wasteful spending in state agencies
