Mark Andrew Leonard
Candidate
Republican
CA-45
WELCOME!
My name is Mark and I am running for CA-45.
If you are like me, you have most likely grown tired of politics as usual. American’s are struggling and Washington is selling us out in order to cater to special interests while continuing to line their own pockets.
If you are reading this it means that you are part of the solution, you are invested in helping America fullfill the promise of what it aspires to be, as a beacon of hope and prosperity to all those who are willing to work for it.
It is still early days with our campaign, and this site will likely see several revisions due to feedback but we both appreciate and encourage you to reach out and get involved.

Priorities
Lower Costs, Fairer Taxes, Stronger Economy
"Hardworking Americans are struggling with rising costs and stagnant wages. It’s time to cut inflation, reduce middle-class taxes, and stop wasteful spending. Let’s create jobs, support U.S. industries, and build an economy that works for you."
Defending Your Rights
"Our Constitution is under threat from unelected bureaucrats and activist judges. It’s time to restore balance, protect your rights, and keep power where it belongs—with the people. I’ll fight to strengthen checks and balances and hold government accountable."
Secure Borders, Smarter Immigration
"Our immigration system is broken, leaving Americans unsafe and border communities overwhelmed. It’s time to secure the border, modernize enforcement, and fix legal immigration. Let’s create a fair, enforceable system that protects our nation and upholds the American Dream."

Issues & Policy

Your premiums fund hospital CEOs’ mansions.
Your property taxes pay for school bureaucrats, not kids.
