Special Analysis
Roughly 2 million new jobs vs 20+ million workers looking for careers every year.
See the full research →These 4 topics form our core reasearch areas for California — visualized as quadrants on a cartesian plane.
Quadrant 2
Crush offshoring and H1B/OPT/etc. temp worker visas from displacing American Workers. Americans come first in hiring, pay, and protection.
Quadrant 1
Emergency 10% rent cut and freeze while we fix root causes: supply limits, regulations, rigged procurement, and corporate greed.
Quadrant 3
Move from chaotic street camping to ordered, accountable systems that combine treatment, work pathways, and real enforcement.
Quadrant 4
Redirect money from bloated universities into accelerators, bootcamps, and self-taught builders creating real businesses in California.
These are research areas that we will publish more indepth reports for soon.
Fiscal Engine
Every dollar in the budget must be re-justified from zero – no more “because that’s what we spent last year.” This exposes waste, quietly kills low-value programs, and frees billions for rent relief, housing, and real jobs instead of bureaucracy. This is the financial operating system that powers all four Core Policies by forcing Sacramento to defend spending with data, not politics.
Leadership Stack
Partner with Echelon Front – built by former U.S. Navy SEAL officers and veterans – to retrain agency leadership in extreme ownership, clear communication, and disciplined execution. Policy without leadership fails; leadership makes the blueprint real. California’s agencies don’t fail because of workers — they fail because leadership has no unified operating doctrine. We will introduce military-grade leadership frameworks modeled on programs pioneered by former U.S. Navy SEAL officers and veterans: extreme ownership, decentralized command, disciplined execution, clear communication. Good leadership accelerates policy. Bad leadership kills it.
Hard Infrastructure
California will become the global desalination leader through self-taught engineering, open-source curriculum, and state-supported innovation labs. Instead of wasting billions on a train that never gets built, we invest in manufacturing, automation, chemistry, software, energy systems, logistics and Our Own People — all tied to measurable KPIs. Abundant water unlocks construction, lowers rent, and creates a new American-first industrial sector built right here at home.
Justice Pipeline
We merge the neuroscience insights of Dr. Robert Sapolsky of Stanford University (trauma, brain chemistry, environment) with the evolutionary biology framework of Dr. Kevin J. Mitchell of Trinity College Dublin. To make it practical, we also draw from the clinical perspective popularized by Dr. Daniel Amen, who frames mental health as a medical issue tied to identifiable patterns in brain function, a useful lens for rehabilitation when applied carefully. Recidivism isn’t a moral failure: it’s a systems failure. We build “optimized living environments” (rather than prisons) where inmates can choose longer stays in structured, skill-building, productive programs to live and work separated from society, modeled on modern quarantine principles. The goal: safer streets, rebuilt lives, and a justice system that prevents crime instead of recycling it.
Performance Tracking
Currently there is no real system for tracking how well a bill (a proposed law) or policy actually performs.
The Law Performance Index (LPI) will track the results of bills
by transforming lawmaking into a measurable science.
Every bill becomes a testable hypothesis with defined metrics, data streams, and outcome scores.
California will track the real-world effects of every law — cost, impact, unintended consequences —
and continuously improve policy just like engineers improve systems.
No more symbolic bills. Everything must perform.
Basically, we spend billions of taxpayer dollars on laws that might not work and no one is even checking.
Cost Containment
Healthcare costs are inflating faster than wages, rent, and even college tuition. California will build a transparent cost-tracking system for hospitals, insurers, and pharmacy benefit managers — exposing artificial price hikes and abusive billing. We shift the system toward prevention, early intervention, automation, and brain health, lowering long-term costs while improving outcomes. We also fund AI startups that automate administrative and clinical workflows to drive costs down.
Brain Health
California’s mental health crisis is not a character issue; it is a brain and environment issue.
We treat the brain like any other organ: it can be injured, healed, and supported with the right
structures. We align community clinics, housing programs, schools, and employers around early
intervention, addiction treatment, and long-term support instead of crisis-only care.
This integrates with our criminal justice reform vision — informed by Dr. Sapolsky, Dr. Amen and Dr. Kevin J. Mitchell —
so people with trauma and neurological burdens are stabilized instead of recycled through jail,
homelessness, and ER visits. It ties into American Workers First by keeping Californians healthy
enough to work, retrain, and build careers. It supports Freeze & Reduce Rent and End Homelessness by
reducing the mental health drivers that push people onto the streets.
We will also responsibly deploy AI-driven tools — for triage, case management, and pattern detection —
to help clinicians and community workers reach more people at lower costs while keeping human oversight
in every critical decision.
