Restore the California Dream!

About

Ted Nordblum is running for the California State Assembly in the 42nd District to Restore the California Dream by bringing jobs and small businesses back to California, protecting our communities from crime and drug addiction, and finally addressing the homelessness crisis.

Meet Ted

Ted Nordblum is a longtime Conejo Valley resident, small business owner, actor, and martial artist. Raised in a working-class family, Ted learned at a young age the American values of hard work, determination, and self-reliance. After working in construction and as a heavy equipment operator, he opened his own medical device business right here in Thousand Oaks, where he has worked for the past 18 years. Ted was inspired to run for office after witnessing the erosion of our freedoms, of our economy, and our communities. Located in Southern California, the 42nd District includes portions of East Ventura County and West Los Angeles County. This includes the communities of Agoura Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Calabasas, Malibu, Moorpark, Oak Park, Pacific Palisades, Santa Rosa Valley, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Topanga, and Westlake Village. Ted currently lives in Newbury Park with his wife, Donna, and his dog and cat, Buddy and Boo.

Issues

Neighborhood Safety

Californians no longer feel safe in their communities. Communities and families are being torn apart by crime and drug addiction. This issue means a lot to Ted personally, as he lost his brother to a fentanyl overdose in 2021. We must FUND the police, keep violent criminals out of our communities, and support public-private partnerships for drug rehabilitation and mental health programs.

Affordability and Jobs

Californians are facing record-high inflation, energy prices, and we pay the highest taxes in the nation. Every year, thousands of family-owned businesses and working families leave the state. When elected, Ted will fight to reduce taxes and regulations on people, farms, and businesses, defend the taxpayer protections of Prop 13, and support responsible development of energy and water infrastructure.

Education Reform

California spends more per student every year while educational outcomes are getting worse. The state legislature is actively pushing divisive curricula that teaches students what to think, instead of teaching students how to read, write, and do math. Parents, not unelected bureaucrats and special interest groups, know what is best for kids. Ted supports strengthening parental rights in education, allowing parents to help shape curricula and choose where their kids attend school.
