Illegal Immigration

For the safety and security of our communities and our state, we must be a nation that has full control of its border. In 1993 Kevin Jeffries was one of the first local leaders to call for the deployment of the National Guard along our borders. The flow of illegal aliens into our state and into our nation jeopardizes our national safety, and our fiscal stability.

As law-abiding citizens and taxpayers, we need to re-elect leaders like Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries will not hesitate to oppose issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, stop the state funding of benefits to those who violate our laws, and prosecute those who supply fraudulent identification documents.

Traffic:

We pay extremely high gas taxes every time we fill up at the pump in California. Our gas tax dollars must NOT be diverted to fund other state social welfare programs. Assemblyman Jeffries continues to be a strong advocate in Sacramento to keep our gas tax dollars dedicated to adding new freeway lanes, off-ramps, building new roads and widening intersections in our communities.

Locally, Kevin has been a leader working with local government to eliminate the red-tape and excessive construction delays caused by the entrenched Cal-Trans bureaucracy. Recently, Assemblyman Jeffries successfully proposed legislation, supported by California’s Assembly and pending approval from the Senate, which will add additional lanes to I-15 to reduce the amount of congestion.

Education
Even though overall state funding for education continues to increase, California ranks near the bottom! Assemblymember Jeffries is fighting to improve local control of our schools and give our school administrators the full authority (and accountability) for a clean, safe and effective education environment.

When the men and women of our United States military are relocated to California and desire to continue their higher education, the liberals in Sacramento decided that those who are defending our freedoms would not be given the same or better tuition reductions as given to illegal immigrants. Assemblyman Jeffries has been a strong voice in Sacramento to reverse this outrageous and disgraceful policy.

Strong Fiscal Conservative

Kevin Jeffries has a rock solid history of fighting to oppose new and unfair taxes. While Liberal politicians and bureaucrat’s cried gloom and doom, Jeffries joined with a handful of fellow conservatives in 1996 to help lead a successful grassroots effort and pass Proposition 218, The Right To Vote On Taxes Act. Continuously working to oppose the growing trend to re-title taxes as “fees” and therefore circumvent a vote of the people (and/or the two-thirds approval by the State Legislature). Assemblymember Kevin Jeffries has remained a proven and unwavering advocate of taxpayer rights in Sacramento.

Spending is the problem! We don’t need new taxes to fix the budget spending problems in Sacramento. Kevin is a successful business owner with over 29 years of community service and leadership. We need re-elect leaders like Assemblymember Jeffries who has been working for the past two years to stop the feeding frenzy at the public trough and eliminate wasteful programs, agencies, commissions and overpriced government facilities.

Protecting Your Freedom

Private Property Rights and the Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms is at the heart of our right to liberty and freedom. Recalling his fire service experience during the Los Angeles riots, Kevin vividly remembers the business and homeowners who successfully stood armed atop their homes and/or businesses in order to protect their lives and property when government broke down. Assemblyman Jeffries will forever defend these fundamental rights.

Public Safety

With state spending out of control, our local cities and counties are now being robbed by bloated Sacramento spending programs and bureaucrats who want to build unchecked empires with your hard earned tax dollars. Since the first efforts in 1992 to shift our local property tax revenues to Sacramento, Kevin Jeffries has been fighting to keep our tax dollars in our communities so that our local law enforcement and fire stations can be adequately staffed and funded. With 29 years in the fire service, Assemblyman Jeffries knows first hand that public safety must be a top priority.

Protecting Marriage and families

Kevin Jeffries is a strong believer that marriage shall be reserved for a man and a woman. Kevin will not support granting special rights to homosexuals and transgender sex change patients. Kevin is a longtime member of the California Pro-life Council and supporter of the Alliance Defense Fund.

Crime
Assemblyman Jeffries opposes any efforts to undermine or weaken California’s Three Strikes law. Kevin has opposed “early release” proposals that would free thousands of convicted felons into our communities. Kevin has also voted to support additional funding to expand or build new prisons, so that serious or repeat offenders do not receive early release because of overcrowding.

As an advocate to reform the ridiculous laws and policies, Assemblyman Jeffries fights to restrict High Risk sex offenders to be paroled early and placed in our neighborhoods. With 29 years of proven public safety service, we can continue to count on Kevin to work on behalf of families, safe neighborhoods and law enforcement.

Jobs, Infrastructure & Local Control

California must reverse its anti-small business / anti-jobs regulatory climate if we ever want a real chance of returning California to the Golden State it once was.

Liberals in Sacramento must stop imposing unfunded mandates on local government and stop chasing businesses and jobs out of the state! With our struggling economy and high foreclosure rates, now more than ever, our hard earned tax dollars must be returned to our local communities to fund critical infrastructure such as roads, public safety, storm drains, signal lights, parks, schools, etc.

Assemblyman Jeffries will continue to support efforts to reduce the endless and unreasonable environmental regulations that seriously impede our ability to meet the needs of our state and local communities. Having served nearly 16 years on two local water districts, Kevin has proven to be a strong leader in the effort to develop long-term reliable water supplies and build new reservoirs and conveyance systems to serve our region and the entire state.
