I strongly disagree with the Huntington Beach City Council’s cowardly decision to remove the pride flag from City Hall.
In a time of increasing attacks against the LGBT community, we can and must do more to support them.

California needs leaders who are laser-focused on solving our environmental crisis, who will put bipartisanship ahead of brinkmanship, and who know how to grow businesses and our economy. I’m proud to have done just that - not only in Congress, but for decades in business.
