WILL ROLLINS |
KEN CALVERT |
Professional Record |
Served as a prosecutor keeping Californians safe, and went after the Sinaloa Cartel and MS-13 to secure our border and stop the flow of illegal drugs like fentanyl. |
Is a career politician who’s spent more than 30 years in Washington and was named one of the “most corrupt” members of Congress, while being investigated twice by the FBI for corruption. |
Economy |
Will fight to lower costs for Californians by going after corporate investors who are buying up properties, lowering taxes on the middle class, and ending the price-gouging by massive corporate monopolies. And will invest more in job training and apprenticeship programs that provide pathways to solid middle-class jobs without the massive debt that often comes with college. |
Has repeatedly voted against lowering costs for Californians. He voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices and capping insulin costs at $35 a month, against holding the oil and gas industry and drug companies accountable for price gouging, and voted to raise the retirement age for Social Security, which would cut benefits seniors earned. He also voted to raise taxes on California families. |
Crime |
Spent years working with local police as a prosecutor, taking drug traffickers, gang members, and sex offenders off our streets. Supports tougher new penalties for property theft and retail theft and increasing support for local police so they have the tools, training, and resources needed to do their jobs. |
Voted for an extreme plan that could cut funding for local police and lead to the loss of nearly 30,000 law enforcement officers. He opposed red flag laws that would enable police to take away assault rifles from people who threaten to commit mass shootings and even disparaged law enforcement, claiming they have been “infiltrated by rot.” |
Border Security |
Took on the Sinaloa Cartel, MS-13, and criminals bringing fentanyl across the border as a prosecutor, and will work together with Republicans and Democrats to secure the border and pass comprehensive immigration reform that will keep our country safe and strengthen our economy for the long term. |
Has spent more than 30 years in Congress failing to secure the border and playing politics instead. Refused to support a bipartisan plan backed by the Border Patrol to increase boots on the ground to a record high, place 100 new fentanyl detection machines in service, and shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. |
Abortion Rights |
Will protect the rights and freedoms of California women by passing Roe v. Wade into law and guaranteeing the right to birth control. |
Backed a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the woman that would override California’s abortion protections, and voted to restrict access to IVF treatment to help injured servicemembers start a family. |
Seniors |
Will protect Social Security and Medicare against any attempts to cut benefits or raise the retirement age. Will fight to protect Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower drug prices and expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing care. |
He voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, against capping the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors, and against the $2,000 out of pocket spending cap for seniors. Voted to raise the Social Security retirement age which would cut benefits and force seniors to work longer before retiring. |
Democracy |
Helped prosecute insurrectionists who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and worked with the FBI to protect our country from threats from Russia, China, Iran, neo-nazis and white supremacists. Will vote for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. |
Voted to overturn the free and fair 2020 election, then called for charges to be dropped against insurrectionists who attacked the U.S. Capitol. Also voted against the independent commission established to prevent another January 6 from happening again. |
Reform |
Will stand up to corruption in both parties by getting rid of dark money, banning Members of Congress from lobbying after they leave office, and backing term limits to stop lifelong politicians. |
Has spent more than 30 years in office and repeatedly voted to raise his own pay, while increasing his net worth by up to twenty million dollars. He was caught directing federal tax dollars to benefit his own real estate investment so he could make more money. |
