RAY'S PRIORITIES
"Save the California Dream!"
Economy |
The government’s role in our economy is to get out of the way and let the American people flourish. Ray will fight for policies that provide opportunity for the American people to create good-paying jobs and grow the economy. He opposes policies that drive up inflation, hurt small businesses, and push companies out of California. He opposed any new taxes until we have a real understanding of how taxpayer dollars are spent. Ray will oppose any attempts to increase the federal gas tax and will work to restore the SALT tax and mortgage interest deductions to provide immediate tax relief to Californians.
Mike Thompson’s out of control spending policies have caused the inflation crisis. Ray will work towards fiscal accountability to manage spending and debt by targeting bloated and unnecessary federal programs. Congress must work to reduce the cost of food, energy, housing, and healthcare.

Public Safety |
Californians deserve to feel safe in their own homes and communities. Americans shouldn’t lose sleep because their local police department is understaffed due to liberal policies that defund the police. Businesses shouldn’t worry about being the target of“smash-and-grab” incidents. Families shouldn’t worry about the potential impact of drugs making their way into their household.
Ray supports policies that are tough on crime and fully fund our public safety services police, fire, and EMS to combat fentanyl trafficking, violent offenses like assaults and robberies, and property crimes like thefts and burglaries. Ray will fight back against any attempt to prioritize criminals over victims, including securing our borders to stop fentanyl at its source and backing law enforcement to aggressively pursue gangs and dealers.
For 30 years, Mike Thompson has represented us in Congress, yet violent crime has skyrocketed on his watch—leaving families in CA-6 feeling unsafe in their own neighborhoods. As a small business owner and committed conservative, I'm running to restore law and order, support our police, and put an end to the failed liberal policies fueling this crisis.

- Backing the Blue: More resources for local law enforcement to keep criminals off our streets.
- Tough Sentencing: End catch-and-release that endangers families.
- Community Safety First: Secure borders to stop fentanyl and gangs pouring in.
- Support Federal Law Enforcement: End Sanctuary State/City policies that interfere with ICE and DHS arresting and removing criminal aliens.
Secure Boarder |
Ray believes that a nation without borders is not a nation—a principle essential to sovereignty and the rule of law. In Congress, he will champion secure borders and enforce immigration laws rigorously, ensuring all who seek to enter our country do so legally.
The Biden Administration’s open-border policies severely damaged national security, strained infrastructure, depressed wages for American workers, and burdened our economy through unchecked illegal immigration.
Ray supports a pragmatic, enforcement-first approach modeled on the Trump Administration’s successful policies, which have delivered historic lows in illegal crossings—plummeting to the lowest levels in over 50 years, with zero interior releases for months and massive reductions in encounters.
Our border policies must prioritize strict enforcement to uphold national sovereignty while offering lawful pathways for those genuinely seeking opportunity or refuge. Ray will back measures to curb unlawful entries at the border and address visa overstays, protecting American communities and restoring order.

The Woke Agenda |
Americans resoundingly rejected the left’s out-of-touch “woke” agenda. Instead of Democrats realizing their mistake of going too far, they have doubled down on policies the American people are tired of.
In Congress, we must continue to fight against ideologies that endanger women and girls. We must protect women’s sports and girls’ locker rooms. This is common sense, and Americans resoundingly support it.

Infrastructure |
Ray understands that California doesn’t have a water supply problem, it has a water management problem. We must capture and store more surface water in reservoirs and recharge depleted groundwater aquifers to build resilience against climate extremes like droughts and floods.
Drawing on his experience serving on the Citrus Heights Water Board, Ray will champion practical, balanced solutions that ensure abundant, reliable water for the environment, agriculture, residential, and business needs.
In Congress, Ray will fight to secure federal funding for critical infrastructure upgrades: expanding storage and conveyance systems, promoting smart groundwater recharge, advancing good forest management policies that reduce wildfire risks and prevent landslides. We must safeguard and secure our transportation networks including roads, bridges, rail, ports, and airports.
Infrastructure is vital for today and essential for tomorrow. We need a bold 50-year and 100-year vision to secure the opportunities our children and grandchildren deserve, preserving the prosperity that has defined America for over 250 years.

Education |
Every child deserves a world-class education that prepares them for success in life. In Congress, Ray will encourage trade schools as much as we encourage college degrees. Without the trades, this great nation will fade away as machines and infrastructure fail. It is hard work that should be encouraged and rewarded. Ray will support policies that encourage the completion of trade school programs.
Ray will be leader in protecting parental rights in education. He firmly believes that parents are the first teachers of their children and in almost every case, they know what is best for their child. Ray will fight for a parent’s right to participate in and direct the education of their children, to know what their children are being taught, and to know how well the schools are performing.

Healthcare |
A market-driven approach that promotes individual responsibility, with limited government intervention offers the best prospect for driving down the costs and improving the quality of health care in the United States.
In Congress, Ray will support market competition, initiatives like Health Savings Accounts, and cross-state purchasing. This will allow Americans to purchase the plan they want at a price they can afford. Ray will support Tort reform which will reduce insurance premiums and lower the costs of medical care. He will also look at alternatives such as Direct Primary Care which allows patients to pay a flat monthly fee for a full range of primary care services.
By embracing these principles of competition, consumer choice, tort reform, and state flexibility, we can create a sustainable and patient-centered healthcare system that will offer better services at a lower price.

Government Accountability |
Spending is out of control, and only because of President Trump and DOGE is there now a serious effort to reduce wasteful spending and manage the federal budget. Without Congress’ support for significant reform, we will leave our children and grandchildren a $40 Trillion debt. Much of that debt is a result of failed ”tax and spend” policies that drives inflation without restoring the economy. History has shown that tax reduction stimulates economic activity, and economic growth fuels prosperity and tax revenue. In Congress, Ray will fight to make the middle-class tax cuts permanent, simplify the tax code, reduce tax rates, and balance the budget.
