Voters are being asked to unseat Gov. Gavin Newsom. Why do you think he should be recalled?
Governor Gavin Newsom should be recalled because he has failed the residents of California again and again.

How does your experience — professional or political — make you the right candidate to replace Newsom?
My experience as a middle class working man and I can better identify with the challenges that the average Californian is dealing with during these tough economic times.

What sets you apart from the other candidates for governor?
My focus is to bring God back into government.

Describe one of Newsom’s policies or actions that have not worked, and what would you have done differently in the same situation.
The mandatory vaccination requirement is an abuse of power and infringement on one's personal rights. This is not a matter of public health since the vaccine has not proven to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. I would not mandate the vaccine for anyone.

Are there any of Gov. Newsom’s policies that you approve of, and if so, why?
There are no policies of Governor Newsom that I support, that I am aware of, at this time.

How would you try to change or influence California’s political culture?
I would aim to restore unity and camaraderie within California's political culture.

What is the single most important thing California must do to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic, and what would you do in your first year to bring that about?
California's economy needs to be restored. I would open the state fully, and end state-mandated mask and vaccination requirements.

The best advice ever shared with me was:
Sometimes people just want you to listen.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
I will work to restore the greatness of California.
