BIOGRAPHY I grew up In East LA on 1025 S. Townsend street, Some people ask how did you start in steel work, I said I started at 10 years old and people say WHAT. I called it the area of the plague, My dad said no it's not.. But When Chicken pox, Mumps, Measles and the flue season hit all at the same time; Schools closed, My dad told his work, No one wants to take care of a kid.. His work said we have 2 office rooms that he can roam around In; There was an Indian guy that said I have something for you to try, He put a leather jacket on me that went to the floor, safety Color glasses and he made leathers that go on my shoes, He showed me how to cut with a torch after 3 days of being in the yard cutting up scrap; The Indian went to the boss and said look at this... The boss said so what... He said The kid did it he said we are short two men, and Harold is in the field working ( my dad ) He said well ok I had cut several plates, the boss was happy, said it's that good; He said well I guess I have to pay you and It will have to be under the table. Boss said what will you do with the money, I said I want a mini bike;... When Friday came / Pay Day... They said get ready to get paid; I said ok.. They said well where is the kid I have cash..They said he's sitting under the steel Table, They said what are you doing under there, I said you said I have to be paid under the table... Everyone laffed; At 12 years old I made a miniature dune buggies, at about 18 I was Lowering some Low Riders cars and Installed scrape plates that produced a 25 foot spark tail, Cars like The Oldies, The Imperil's, East LA Low riders, There are others and about 3 or 6 per club, and others around the neighborhood, My Grand Mother didn't want people hanging around her back yard. It was Almost like a party at times; I gave her some money that I made, and she came out to the guys and gave out sun tea and goodies as well as some Mexican home made food dishes. Yes there were more hang arounds.. Two of the guys brought their mothers over due to sampling some of her cooking, she was very happy in giving out her recipes as she made it in front of them. She spoke Spanish with them; They became good friends; Some were wanting to fix me up with some of the women. It's all good times good parties; I was known as Ronnie, Low riders are very nice and respectable people; I was respected when hanging around Whittier Blv on Cruze Night Looking White but half Mexican and half Swedish and with my reputation, I had a lot of friends, Very good times and very out standing music that filled the night and day with joy; I went to Pasadena City College, 3 years, Trade Tech school at night and work in the day. I worked at Local 92 Boiler Makers union, and various steel Companies, at 23 years old I was in charge of 6 to 10 just starting in a company, working from drawings Some guys were very Jealous working 12 + years and never getting ahead; I Work a short time at Local 433, Iron Workers Union and American Bridge and at 26 years old I started a Business called Anderson's Ornamental Iron, It was touch and go; At 28 it started to take off I changed the name to Anderson's Iron Works and Fabrication, ( AIWF ) I had a trailer at Hughes Air craft in El Segundo, They turned me on to Arrow Space, and RockWell at the time; My work came out in LA Style Magazine, Architectural Records Magazine; I built single to 2 stories buildings, 3 pedestrian bridges My shop was on 9214 1/2 Avalon Blv. LA. I was the only White guy around, I helped some elderly Black people in making Iron doors and some windows guards, for the cost of steel only, Due to brake inns;Some times people need a hand; I did several favors, for people & bumper repair, and so on from time to time for fun when it was a little slow; I reinvented the LA City Standard stair plan No. 156; I made good friends of all ages; I was there when the Riots broke out in protecting my shop; I was friends with Max and George at the corner of 93 and Avalon Blv. They had a Liquor store my guys went there for food at lunch time, and a good place for them to get there favorite drink on Friday Night. They were robed and burnt down due to riots, George went Bankrupted,The Insurance Co. said YOU don't have riot ins. A term used to get out from paying out; Thousands lost out on that note. Those people lost Twice. Many other Black business had a loss as well as White and Asian business That I knew very very sad, There was a Black guy in a Ford Pinto that tried to run me over I jumped up and took a ride on the front hood of his Ford Pinto car, and he smashing into a truck. I went to Martin Luther King Hospital for a check up I was moved over to the side they said they have an emergency, 4 Black men raped a Mexican women they jumped in front of her VW she didn't want to run them over so she stopped, they broke her window and dragged her out of the back window raped her over the front hood of her car in pure day light and hit her in the head with a pipe, I heard the doctors say I don't know where to begin, He told the nurse make her conferrable he's sending an emergency alert in 5 minutes several doctors include Military specialist called in..I hear them say she will need 2 Thousand surgeries she will never look the same and she will hate you; Military doctor said God will is in your hands and the best in your decision. The woman of 32 Or 34 had 2 babies the Husband who went out drinking the night before, with his friends, forgot to get milk and diapers; The doctor told the nurse to make her an over dose The Nurse held her hand as she did what she was told to do; This is what I have witnessed and During the riots not one single Media covered any of the Hospitals; I will make sure people see what people do to others in order to prosecute these bad people with even the Death Penalty knowing with out a shadow of a doubt; We need to deal with these bad people; There are many Doctors and many Nurses who actually have done miracles, I want to put a stop to this type of protesting, riots, hurting people and burning business, cars, homes, We have very bad people of all races, they hurt good people, that they know nothing about the person they just hurt; AND No one in government is fixing this when it happens and I mean NO ONE; But I will...Maybe I'm being pointed in a direction so I may see the bad so I can help the good ... I don't know.. But I do know how to fix it so this never happens again... At the sign of a riot Police and the help of the Military will be brought in, I don't wish for the police to carry the full load, they also need help in doing there job and a much safer out come for all concern; I will handle it much different way and with a quick recovery there is no more sweet talking and Loitering around, That's all in the past the past, Should I get elicited..


VALUES The American Value of helping others is not the same as 35 + years ago, If some one fell down you would run over to them and help them up; Or if a woman was getting beat up, people would move in on the perp, tackling him down and holding until help arrived. We had one Quality Marine who did just that and our defective system put him in jail how stupid is that. We need to review our values, because they have been so beaten up from the now government and compromised it's destructive to every one; Well I think if we all get on the same thought in mind we can make that change make that difference; We all need, our space, we need to enjoy our selves, with good friends, travel, and the fun times we have with our love ones, This is important memory's that will fill our thoughts, our dreams of achievements or our happiness of the people we so care about and the places we remember coming from or going to it's the quality of real time spent these are all very important values and each of us have our own that no other can have them; We need to secure this with out interruptions of the bad people trying to hurt the ones we love, or take away your business that you worked so very hard on build your business , by burning it down, or stealing every thing in site, or going to a nice restraint only to be bothered by bad people or our favorite Church, We have had economy disruptions that didn't need to happen, that caused many reactions; We can not be compromised or afford this kind of hate full act, We have more mentally ill people than ever before, more gangs, more drug issues even the now government has passed out syringes aiding in this already drug war; It is done in unbelief. In order to protect our values, our good quality of life we need a quality system and I have one that will work to keep people safe but it's up to you to do your part in helping others who fall down as well. We need to look out for one another. True Americans leave's No one behind or in hurt.


SUMMARY OF PERSONAL LIFE

I'm a snow skier, snow border, I like water skiing, Mountain bike riding, scuba diving, roller blading, Camping, Business advisor. Ex surfer, Rock climbing, and ex bull rider; I think when you have done a few things, there is good enjoyment in life something we all need to try or other in similar...This helps your mind to relax and makes you see things in business more enjoyable and more clear helps you deal with people better because you are more relaxed and open minded; I owned Anderson Iron Works and Fabrication ( AIWF ) for 35 years and I owned Americal Builders for about 25 + years, In 2009 I lost them due to the economy, Obama said there is no rescission but thousands of people were loosing there business, there jobs, restaurants closings; very poor Government minded; And I fell hard however people who I work with and my workers seam to call me around Thanks Giving and around Christmas from 18 people now down to 2 or 3 after all this time 15 years later 2024 now who in the hell calls there boss these many years later, I know no one; What I'm trying to say I can't be that big of a jerk or what ever to receive such happiness in thought in mind from my past quality workers who caused my business to last 35 years; I wish to perform the same thought in mind in being your GOVERNOR to help you enjoy your life better, and not being that donkey caring that heavy load and being taxed for every steep you take; We are going to have fun doing this, you will feel more free and safe than ever before; It's not that hard


MY VISION

There is a solid plan. The First 30 days I will clear up traffic, thus people traveling from point A to point B will travel much faster, With very little to some times hardly no traffic, thus getting you faster to work this means you will have to come up with a different excuse why you were late! and on the other hand you'll get home faster, you'll be saving on gas because you won't be burning it up sitting in traffic, and that also means lower emissions ( lower Smog ) better air Quality for all of us and the environment; I have a 4 to 5 different ways in dealing with the homeless, this is because there are different degrees of state of mind; There is good reason why the old way just doesn't work, it's very simple minded; But the new way will work, We won't be giving away houses ! .. And you already know that ides Just doesn't work but only cause more homeless to show up, and anyway who doesn't want free stuff when you haves suckers to pay for it; Are you tired of being a sucker and paying for some one you don't even know, there actually laffing at us ... I have better things to do with my little bit of money I make. And giving it away is not in my books of things to do.. Expect clean up to start quickly, It will take a little bit of time due the quantity but the over all will be a wonderful up lift from a horrible eye sore; We all had thrown on our Laps for years now. Findley some real day light; Many Issues are placed already when looking at the QR code web site; We will get the drop on the bad guy, It had been said so many time that there is not enough jails space to hold people so the old Idea of catch and release pitch was thrown at you; And you believed that; Well for the bad guys, they will be outsourced, I will find out what we pay to house a bad Guy / Gal; And get a better deal than what we pay, This means they could be going to Mexico, Siberia, Turkey and similar I will be talking to law makers in saving money, and other countries will be making money this is a win, win situation and a tax payers saving money for the bad; And the Criminal go away for a very long time. and a lessor chance of getting out soon... We will have safer streets for all concern.. NO one has thought of this before, and very much needed. Consider your self safe. I have many more Ideas, To lower the tax and making life easer; We will clean up and make the Golden State Golden again;


ECONOMIC VISION Many big business and other business men are moving out of California... ( You business people better hold off on your plans your going to get a good deal ) Taking their business else ware a loss of the work place and revenue, I have an in sensitive program that will work that no other has in keeping business in California, We will also help grow our industry in made in America for Union workers as well as non Union workers alike: We need to work to gather and make it right, plenty of work for every one... This State needs a little remodeling, and clean up Many of our Infrastructure is barely hanging on and up grade is needed, The Tax money we save on many Issues will be used to make repairs and keep California people working that includes small and big business;


I will be hiring, there is much to do in all phases of work that is needed to be done, There is More than you think, and We have more issues that needs to be fixed that others don't know or haven't been noticed, or been neglected to do: Many things I can't say, because some one will steal the deal, or make changes in the Idea; I want to keep it original and be California strong...


EDUCATION VISION

Our kids are behind, due to COVID, and Government restrictions as well as protests, We need to get a jump on things...Forbes in June of 2022 stated that 73% are suffering from mental illness of stress and issues of the economy At that time I had spoken to 5 teachers they all said it's from 5 items that we had never had before;


1) Covid not being able to socializing, missing out on events, many parents had lost there jobs and revert to alcohol and drugs, kids see this and do the same thing.


2) LGBQ10 many of these people pushing their ways on them.


3) School Shootings, This is part of the mental illness; Hate, We need to put police on campus.


4) It has been repeated so many times about the problem with our schools it's too crazy One thing about it is NO one is actually putting a stop to problem or fixing it; The reason for this is the problem with our Government there not doing there job;There is no place in our school system for socialism it's not good; I have spoken to parents, and It's not Good; What I want to do on this as well as Woke and teaching bad political values. is to do a vote and put this to sleep for ever...Any one telling your kid to do something that is not right, will be interrogated... And relieved of there duty to teach in California... I want to keep education at it highest and teachers who can't teach or has a low teaching ability is to move them on to different sections of teaching; There will be no raciest in all aspects. What do I mean It will not matter if you are white, black, brown or any other if the passing grade is a 78 then that's what it is and no special treatment. So everyone is the same, And this will be on everything, this is one way how you stop racism, every one is equal.


5) Confusing No Some teachers make it confusing) History taught will be as it was ; There is NO provisions or changing leaning to a different thought in mind; Anything different the Teacher or instructor will be switch out for a true qualified teacher who is truthful; We can't have any more interruptions; Our Government really gave us a bad time in closing thing up, it caused many issues and were still suffering from it even to day... California students will be smarter than ever before, in schools, College's and Universities it's important, for all concern; Your color, your back ground, where you came from, if you can pull it off you deserve it;


ENVIRONMENTAL VISION We all need to do our part, in protecting the planet: There are people who is dumping trash in our Oceans, and there are people who are not recycling, the expired goods the proper way, and industrial waste needs to be really looked into very closely. This is an issue I see that is part of contamination of our water ways, that we need to look into, In Long Beach ships with cargo come in and release there ballast, of water coming from its hull is polluting the harbor with metal sediments, Marine fish, shell fish and Plant life are dead in these areas; many similar places of the same; We need a catcher that comes up to the ship and filters this stuff; There are many more issues;


We need to look at the Fires we have hade; California Fires has findings of bacteria in the costal waters, News reported by NASA and Earth and Science, Esprit Smith, Has said these fires has cause extreme damage to our air, costal waters, drinking water and similar: In 2018 Woolsey Fire consumed 100,000 acres burned, wile life animals, horses, human life, peoples homes burnt down leaving the ground scared with bacteria, several humans breathing the air had lung diseases issues of enterococcus along with gastrointestinal diseases that was 53 times higher above what is considered safe recreational use of water; It is said when the soil burns it changes the chemistry of the soil makes it unable to absorb water, thus water rushing down polluting rivers and oceans; Bad news is this fire had a 2 hr. head start, before fire fighters started dropping, water, this is unacceptable as you can see some one is giving the fire a head start, Someone doesn't care about anything, Some one is dragging there heals, They need to be FIRED at once: At the first sight of smoke areal dropping of big dumps should take place; With in the last 4 years of 2023 when a fire brakes out we had unbelievable amount of water loss if you remember we had many fires. It also said it took 2 to 6 hours on these different fires before any air support; We Have a big problem that doesn't have to be; Once a fire starts it travels 14.29 miles per hr. and consumes every thing in it's way, Fires can double in size in 30 seconds LA Times stated in April 07,2019 it took 2 hrs before water drops were made by helicopter, and 6 hrs. later before a tanker air support showed up... A company called SRA can get to a fire in 20 to 45 minutes with a goal of keeping 95% of the fire contained in 10 acres or less; This means that we have a call in response problem; Our government has once again failed us, in protecting our Wile life, Clean ground water, Oceans, Human life, our Air quality and our homes; At the first sight of Smoke I will make sure our big tankers hit it first and I will put men on the ocean to vacuum up any issues; We need to protect our water, and our land. By fixing the issues at first hand we will continue the cause of a better environment for futures to come . This is one of the cause of our Green issues, Air issues, Water issues, Our Ocean environments and more. NO One and I mean no one isn't fixing the real problem that is still going on even today and that has been going on for years .. BUT I will fix the problem...
