- California's Budget Crisis
-
Jonathan Friedman will make tough decisions to balance California's budget by cutting ineffective programs to save the priority/vital programs. Sacramento politicians have cut across-the-board, hurting students, the disabled and those who use public transit, and raising sales taxes, instead of making tough decisions.
- Education - California's Future
-
As our State Senator, Jonathan Friedman will demand accountability from local school boards. Today, only 59 cents of every dollar the state gives to Los Angeles Unified School District makes it to the classroom. Reducing bureaucracy will mean safer schools and a higher quality education. We owe our children nothing less.
- Crime Affects All of Us
-
Jonathan Friedman will stand up and demand reimbursement from the federal government for all costs associated with incarcerating illegal aliens arrested for criminal acts. California taxpayers pay nearly a billion dollars a year to cover these costs, which stem from the federal government's failure to enforce our borders.
