Californians are paying more, getting less, and losing faith in a state government that too often ignores the people it is supposed to serve. Victoria Mageno is running for State Assembly to bring accountability, common sense, and results-focused leadership to Sacramento.
Her priorities include lowering taxes and the cost of living, reducing unnecessary regulations, restoring public safety, strengthening election integrity, improving education and workforce opportunities, supporting small businesses, and confronting homelessness by addressing the mental illness and addiction driving the crisis.
California’s problem is not a lack of revenue. It is years of irresponsible spending and misplaced priorities.
Sacramento politicians continue to approve costly programs and then turn to taxpayers to cover the bill. At the same time, they complain about the high cost of gas, housing, and everyday necessities while supporting policies that make those expenses even worse.
Victoria Mageno will oppose new tax increases, challenge wasteful government spending, and fight to keep more money in the hands of working families. She believes state government must live within its means and provide taxpayers with clear accountability for how their money is spent.
Every voter should have confidence that California’s elections are secure, accurate, and administered fairly.
Victoria supports common-sense reforms that strengthen trust in the electoral process, including voter identification requirements, accurate and regularly maintained voter rolls, stronger signature-verification standards, and faster counting and reporting of election results.
She will also support greater transparency and accountability from the government agencies responsible for administering California’s elections.
Public safety is one of government’s most basic responsibilities. Families should feel safe in their homes, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods.
Victoria will fight to fully fund and implement Proposition 36, strengthen penalties for repeat offenders, and ensure law-enforcement agencies have the staffing, tools, and resources needed to protect the public.
She will stand with crime victims, support first responders, and oppose policies that put dangerous offenders back on the streets without adequate consequences or supervision.
California’s education system should prepare students for success in college, the skilled trades, and the workforce.
Drawing on her experience as a school-board trustee, Victoria will promote high-quality education, career and technical training, teacher support, campus safety, and stronger partnerships between schools and local employers.
She will also work to reduce unnecessary regulations that make it harder for small businesses to grow, hire employees, and create good-paying jobs.
California has spent billions of dollars on homelessness while the crisis continues to worsen. Simply providing housing without addressing the underlying causes has failed to produce lasting results.
Victoria believes mental illness and drug addiction are the primary root causes of chronic homelessness. She will support programs that require treatment, recovery, accountability, and a clear path toward stability and independence.
Her approach will combine compassion with firmness by helping people access treatment while refusing to accept policies that leave individuals suffering on sidewalks, in encampments, or trapped in addiction.
Victoria Mageno is ready to bring practical leadership, fiscal responsibility, and real accountability to the State Assembly. She will listen to the people of the 50th Assembly District and fight for policies that make California safer, more affordable, and more accountable.
