Where Andrew Lawson stands on the challenges facing California Assembly District 79 and the state.
California’s housing crisis is pushing families out of San Diego County. Andrew Lawson believes in cutting bureaucratic red tape that delays new construction, streamlining the permitting process, and incentivizing builders to create housing that working families can actually afford. Sacramento’s one-size-fits-all mandates have failed — District 79 deserves solutions shaped by its own communities.
Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of a thriving community. Andrew supports fully funding law enforcement, reversing soft-on-crime policies that have emboldened repeat offenders, and holding the justice system accountable for protecting victims. Our families deserve to feel safe walking to school, shopping locally, and enjoying their own neighborhoods.
California’s regulatory environment is driving businesses and jobs to other states. Andrew will fight to reduce the burden on small businesses, oppose job-killing mandates, and protect taxpayers from Sacramento’s ever-increasing fees and taxes. A strong local economy starts with government getting out of the way.
Every child in District 79 deserves access to a quality education. Andrew supports empowering parents with school choice, raising academic standards, ensuring transparency in curricula, and directing funding to classrooms instead of administrative overhead. Education policy should serve students and families, not unions and bureaucrats.
California’s aging infrastructure and recurring water challenges demand serious investment and smart planning. Andrew supports expanding water storage, modernizing local infrastructure, and rejecting Sacramento’s wasteful spending priorities that leave communities like ours underserved.
Californians deserve to know exactly how their tax dollars are spent. Andrew is committed to full campaign finance transparency, fighting corruption in Sacramento, and holding elected officials accountable. He supports open-data initiatives, accessible public records, and real consequences for officials who violate the public trust.
