  • "I was born & raised in Orange County, & I've watched the opportunity California once offered slip away. The rising cost of living, record inflation, & high taxes are driving people out of the state. I'll fight to protect the American Dream so our families & businesses can thrive." (x.com)
  • "Republicans have a plan to get Big Government out of the way and create prosperity for everyone. Democrats have a plan to tax-and-spend us all to death." (x.com)

  • "Unlike bad policies in Los Angeles or San Francisco, Orange County offers an excellent model on how to effectively ensure public safety. I will fight to ensure that the dangerous LA/SF approach to combating crime–or lack thereof–never takes root in Washington or encroaches in our community. I will advocate for policies that support law enforcement, keep dangerous criminals behind bars, and keep our streets safe." (www.maxforoc.com)

  • "I opposed the Biden-McCarthy debt "deal" last summer that suspended the debt ceiling and authorized trillions of dollars in reckless new debt in just a matter of weeks. We need serious cuts across the board, a balanced budget, an end to Washington's culture of massive bloated omnibus bills and "continuing resolutions" that no one reads, and mandatory audits of past and future spending bills to ensure every dollar is being spent efficiently." (www.maxforoc.com)
  • "The career politicians in Washington suspended the debt ceiling until 2025 without any serious cuts in spending. In short, our country’s debt crisis is only getting worse, and there is no end in sight. Orange County families and businesses can’t afford reckless debt to be imposed on them from Washington. That’s why I will fight to cut wasteful spending, reduce the debt, and balance the budget in Congress." (www.maxforoc.com)
  • "The sad truth is that the federal government's unmitigated spending binge and bad regulatory policies on energy are screwing over millions of Americans by sparking rampant inflation on everything from groceries to gas and interest rates. Reigning in our out-of-control federal government is key to getting America's economy back on track and putting families on the road to prosperity." (www.maxforoc.com)

  • "Huntington Beach wants to add voter ID and election integrity laws into their charter. This is not just common sense to safeguard our elections - it's popular!" (x.com)
  • "Last night I spoke at the Huntington Beach City Council to speak up in favor of the city’s charter amendments on VOTER ID (immensely popular among Republicans AND Democrats!) and flags on city hall. This is what real leadership looks like and I hope more OC cities follow suit!" (x.com)
  • "Washington should be pursuing policies that expand Americans’ access to affordable gas and electricity instead of choking the supply and driving up the cost. I will advocate for a pragmatic, all-of-the-above approach - including investing in nuclear energy - that ensures Americans have access to affordable and reliable energy. The United States should never have to rely on others for our energy needs." (www.maxforoc.com)

  • "I recently visited our wide open southern border and received a tour from border patrol. It's worse than I imagined. But I also learned how we can fix it: 1) Finish building the wall to close the gaps that illegal immigrants pour through; 2) Invest in more border patrol to ensure they have the resources they need to secure the border; and 3) Fix our broken asylum laws that traffickers, smugglers, and millions of illegal immigrants are taking advantage of. These laws are a magnet for migrants from around the world to illegally cross our border. They need to be overhauled." (www.maxforoc.com)
  • "The crisis at our border is spilling over into communities across the country, including Orange County. Border security is national security.
