2022 election: Q&A with Chris Duncan, California State Assembly, District 74 candidate [Opinion]
There are two candidates on the June 7 ballot for the newly drawn state Assembly District 74, which stretches from Laguna Niguel in Orange County south to Oceanside. It includes Camp Pendleton and Vista and Orange County’s Dana Point, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano. Assemblywoman/business owner Laurie Davies, a Republican, and San Clemente Mayor Pro Tem Chris Duncan, a Democrat, will automatically advance to a Nov. 8 runoff election.
Q: The governor’s pleas to reduce water use have been widely met with indifference. What, if anything, should state lawmakers be doing to address drought conditions? A: This isn’t a choice between the environment and a strong economy. It’s an opportunity to create jobs and make California a leader in the clean energy economy. That means we must actually account for the economic impact of our environmental policies, ensuring workers are able to get equal or better-paying jobs in the new economy, with training programs, tax incentives and timelines that properly allow for the transition.
A: First and foremost, we must always listen to science. Our public health discourse has become too political and not based on what’s best or right for our community. On the San Clemente City Council, I took a leadership position to help lead our area’s response and recovery from the pandemic, including supporting small businesses by spearheading an innovative local grant program that allowed them to retain their local workforce throughout the pandemic.
It is important that not only do we strengthen California’s gun laws, but we also must better enforce the laws we already have on the books — especially those related to domestic violence. If we do a better job keeping guns out of the hands of those who already shouldn’t have them by law, we would reduce the number of unnecessary shootings and murders, including mass shootings. I will utilize my experience with U.S.
