Steve Garvey in Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites
On Crime:
The best way to deter crime is to enforce our laws
We need to return to common-sense policies that hold criminals accountable, protect our victims, and places the safety of our families before politics. Our police departments need to be funded, our communities need to be engaged, and we must
do all we can to make sure our neighborhoods and schools are safe. Make no mistake, the best way to deter crime is to enforce our laws, and I will lead the charge to make sure our laws are followed.

On Education:
Provide parents with more choices; reward great teachers
We must empower parents and teachers who know what's best for their children and students. We need to put the interest of all students first. We must give them a first-class education and teach them how to succeed. We must provide parents with more
choices, reward great teachers, and bring back important trade skills to our education system. We must work together to make sure our schools are the best they can possibly be.

On Foreign Policy:
Important to work close with our allies against threats
It's important that we work close with our allies and be prepared for the threats of tomorrow while actively positioning ourselves to counter the expansion of hostile foreign powers. More than anything, in order for us to be strong abroad,
we must be strong at home. We need leaders in Washington who will make level-headed decisions in the face of a rapidly changing and dangerous world.

On Government Reform:
Get government out of the way of small businesses
Innovation and entrepreneurship are at the heart of who we are as Californians. But for too many, the California dream has faded, as high taxes and red tape have made it impossible to start a small business and create jobs in our state.
It's time for a new approach that embraces small businesses and job creation, gets government out of the way, and taps into the spirit of hard-working small business owners and job creators across California.

On Homeland Security:
Modernize our military; achieve peace through strength
A strong United States means a safer world. With emerging threats around the globe, it's more important than ever for the United States to renew our commitment to our alliances and our role in global leadership.
We must invest in modernizing our military and achieve peace through strength.
It's important that we work close with our allies and be prepared for the threats of tomorrow while actively positioning ourselves to counter the expansion of hostile foreign powers.
More than anything, in order for us to be strong abroad, we must be strong at home. We need leaders in Washington who will make level-headed decisions in the face of a rapidly changing and dangerous world.

On Tax Reform:
Career politicians increased taxes and fees, raised costs
For the first time in history, more people are leaving California because they can't afford to live in our great state. This is a direct result of our career politicians in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. continuously passing foolish laws and increasing
taxes and fees, resulting in higher costs for our basic needs, such as food, gas, and shelter. I will take a stand against out-of-control inflation and be a voice for the middle class and working families that are the backbone of our state.
