Real problems demand real leadership. Here's what I'm fighting for.
California families are being crushed by the cost of living. Housing costs in District 40 have skyrocketed, pushing working families out of the communities they helped build. Sacramento's policies have made it harder, not easier, for families to afford a home.
Every family deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. Soft-on-crime policies have emboldened criminals and left communities vulnerable. Our families, businesses, and seniors deserve leaders who will stand up for public safety.
Our children deserve a world-class education, but too many California schools are failing them. Parents — not bureaucrats — should have the power to choose the best school for their children. Education is the great equalizer.
As an entrepreneur who has built multiple businesses, Zhirayr understands the challenges facing small business owners. Excessive regulations and taxes are driving businesses out of California. We need leaders who have actually created jobs.
California's infrastructure is crumbling while Sacramento spends billions on projects that never get completed. Our roads, water systems, and power grid need real investment and competent management — not more empty promises.
As an immigrant who came to America legally and earned his citizenship, Zhirayr understands both the value of immigration and the importance of the rule of law. We need an immigration system that is fair, orderly, and respects those who follow the rules.
