The Issues

Economy & Jobs

With a proven track record as a small business owner, Matt Stoll knows what it takes to be successful and contribute to the economy. Stoll knows that our economy is strong in spite of the government, not because of it. He opposes job-killing liberal policies, like AB-5, that crush California’s workers and small businesses. Matt will go to Washington and go to bat for the Central Valley to create a climate that brings good paying jobs and economic activity.

Taxes

As a small business owner, Matt Stoll knows firsthand about excessive taxes. Tax and spend, big government, and bloated bureaucracy — that’s the big three in Washington and Sacramento. California taxpayers are being unfairly punished for their zip code. Californians are getting squeezed by higher property and gas taxes. California and the federal government have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Stoll is fighting to protect Prop. 13 to keep property taxes low, repeal the SALT deduction cap, and cut taxes for Californians. Smaller government and lower taxes are the keys to strong economic growth.

Inflation & Cost of Living

Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and leftist policies have resulted in the highest inflation in 40 years. Between gas prices, housing costs and prices for everyday items like groceries, it’s becoming harder and harder to stay afloat in California. Matt knows what it’s like to raise a family and run a business in our state, and he’s seen too many members of our community head for the state line. He’s pushed for a Constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget, and he’s fighting to stop reckless spending, cut taxes, and put an end to Sacramento’s failed, job-killing laws like AB-5.

Crime & Law Enforcement

As understaffed law enforcement officers work to confront a spike in crime, Sacramento, and Washington are setting our officers up for failure.. A vocal critic of the Defund the Police movement, he has proudly stood with our officers as they’ve faced cuts in funding, an increase in violence against police, a wave of progressive backlash, and vaccine mandates that threaten to crush their departments. Our families and businesses suffer most when liberal politicians defund our departments and refuse to enforce the law. Matt is fighting every day to put a stop to the failed policies that are crushing our communities.

National Security

As a former F-18 fighter pilot, Stoll knows firsthand the important role that the United States plays around the world as a force for good, but that the first priority must always be national security and protecting the homeland, to include securing and better surveillance of our borders. Matt Stoll will make it a priority to ensure our men and women in uniform have the funding and tools necessary to keep America safe, and only send them into battle when it is absolutely necessary.

Socialism

Stoll knows what’s at stake, and he’ll fight against Democrats’ dangerous socialist agenda and restore our country’s guiding principles, most importantly freedom, that he helped protect in his 20 years as a Naval Officer.

Term Limits

Stoll supports term limits because it’s time to get rid of the career politicians in both parties. Washington, DC truly is a swamp, filled with career politicians who are more concerned with their next election than making tough decisions. The Founding Fathers wanted citizens to step up and serve their community in office for a brief period and then make way for new representation before they lost touch with their constituency.

National Debt

The trillions in debt is unsustainable and will be back breaking in the long run. Unless we do something about it, the interest payments on our debt will soon exceed the military budget and Medicaid. That poses problems for readiness and national security. Navy Admiral and Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Michael Mullen has said that “the single, biggest threat to our national security is debt.”
