You can look at the state of California, which is on a pathway to destruction because they expanded government too much, thinking that there would always be someone to pay for it.

I love seeing America vote, through the prism of my older working class neighborhood in Riverside, California.

One way to bring down crime in the state of California and every state in the union is to have an enforceable border. That means let’s build that border fence. When people want to come into this country, let’s ask them to knock on the front door.
I live in Hollywood, California. It’s absolutely nothing like Absaroka County, Wyoming. For me, it’s a great escape and I really enjoy it.

The American model was celebrated by Thatcherites and New Labour alike, California worshipped as the model of the future, ‘Anglo-Saxon’ embalmed as the fitting metaphor for the shared Anglo-American legacy, Europe denigrated and the rest of the world ignored.
My first words were always about food – I grew up in northern California, and when I was 10 years old, I had my own pretzel cart business.

I know that my heart and my family are here in California, not in Washington, D.C.
I came from a really musical family. I studied classical piano because my grandparents were piano teachers, but started doing musical theater at age nine in Fresno, California, and went to a performing arts high school. That was my life.

I am representing California, and all of California, definitely as a Mexicano, a Chicano, a Latino.
I played the bars in northern California since I was 18. We played at least three hours, and there’s no which-way about it: That definitely helped.

I play golf and ride my motorcycle – my Harley – around the hills of California.
One good thing about California is we have quite a broad-based economy. We provide more fruits and vegetables and produce to the United States than any other state. So we have actually the single largest agricultural sector in the country.

I’m a free market person, a free trader. But if we had a market in California, there would be competition.

The first treasure California began to surrender after the Gold Rush as the oldest: her land.
But ours was intended to be a citizen government. It is what of, by and for the people means. And when our most important issue in California is the creation of jobs, I think it’s quite helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate or in the governor’s seat who actually knows where jobs come from.
I’m a full-blooded Mexican. My mother was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, and my father – the son of Mexican immigrants – was born near Fresno, California.
