<p>Chris understands that local families are already stretched too thin, which is why he’s never raised taxes in San Clemente. He’ll lower costs and work to reduce the tax burden on middle class families. This includes opposing unnecessary and harmful fees and projects, such as the toll road. He’ll also fight for a middle class tax cut and close loopholes that the super rich frequently exploit.</p>

<h2>Taxes</h2>

Chris will work across party lines to improve our local and state economy, fighting to cut unnecessary red tape that prevent businesses from succeeding and regulations that are driving too many businesses out of state. He’ll also fight for tax relief for middle class families and small businesses, and will invest in the 21st-century workforce to ensure no one is left behind.
