Greg Wallis, Republican candidate for California’s Assembly District 47, has laid out a plan for his potential first days in office focused on making the state more affordable, safe and livable for its residents.
“I am often asked by people just like you, what will I do to make our lives better,” Wallis said on his website this month. “Here’s my answer: 10 common-sense reforms I will work to achieve in my first 100 days as your Assemblymember.”
On the financial front, Wallis’ legislative agenda includes suspending the gas tax, cutting taxes and fees for small businesses and the middle class and offering tax incentives for renewable energy transitions.
To attack crime, he proposes increasing law-enforcement funding, ending the early release of felons and reinstating tough penalties for violent crimes.
His platform also calls for requiring accountability from failing public school systems, making it easier to start charter schools and implementing programs to help the homeless and individuals suffering from addiction and mental health issues.
Wallis is running against Christy Holstege, the former mayor of Palm Springs.
While Wallis has been endorsed for AD-47 by the Riverside County Sheriffs' Association, Holstege has the backing of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.
