Steve Hilton on Government Reform

 

 


Yes on Prop 39: majority agrees to show I.D. to vote

BECERRA: Prop 39 is on the ballot [to require ID to vote]. Prop 39 is an initiative that is backed by Donald Trump. He couldn't get his SAVE Act out of Congress, which tries to interfere in elections. So, he's gone around the country and put initiatives on the ballot. In California, it's Prop 39. Steve Hilton is supporting the Trump-backed Prop 39. That would make it harder for Californians to vote.

HILTON: There's a majority in this state who agree that it's reasonable to show I.D. when you vote. But the thing that we have to understand is that if we vote the same way in this state as we have been doing, we're going to get the same results. And this attitude of just constantly talking about national politics, because he's got nothing to offer to change the direction of this state, when people are suffering so much, and he takes no responsibility for the policies that he's supported for the last 16 years of one-party rule, is an insult to every Californian.

Government shouldn't boss you around with endless rules

I've always believed that people, families, communities--and businesses--do better when they have the power to chart their own course. That means building a foundation of security and opportunity, and a framework of freedom. That's what government should be doing, not bossing you around with endless rules, regulations and bureaucracy.

Restore districting integrity to have fair representation

"And right now Republicans have 40% of the vote in California, but only 17% of the House seats. Gavin Newsom wants another 5. That will give us for 40% of the vote only 7% of the House seats in California because Gavin Newsom wants to show that he is the guy fighting President Trump. When I'm Governor, I will restore the integrity of our system in California so that we can have fair representation. That would give us an additional 12 Republican House seats in California."
