Walk The Talk.
Carrie Espinoza Villanueva is tired of California politicians who say one thing and do another — and so are the people of this state.
Carrie Espinoza Villanueva is a businesswoman, educator, and proven fighter who understands the challenges facing working Californians. She works at Palomar College in the Trades Departments, supporting programs like welding, auto, diesel, HVAC, water technology, and zero-emissions vehicle technology — the kinds of jobs that build America.
Raised in an agricultural family, Carrie learned hard work early and later owned and managed multiple small businesses in manufacturing, diesel remanufacturing, home rehabilitation, and ranch operations. She knows firsthand how California’s taxes and regulations crush small businesses, workers, and families.
Carrie also brings personal understanding to some of California’s toughest issues. She has experienced the pain of the fentanyl crisis, understands the pressures on retirees and working families living paycheck to paycheck, and has fought misuse of taxpayer dollars in higher education.
Carrie’s priorities are clear: lower the cost of living by cutting taxes and unnecessary regulations, address homelessness and addiction with compassion and firmness, promote education that leads to real jobs, protect retirees from having their savings taxed away, and push back against Sacramento’s unethical and destructive policies.
Carrie Espinoza Villanueva is angry on behalf of millions of Californians whose hard work and dreams are being squandered. She isn’t offering polished political slogans — she’s offering backbone, real-world experience, and a willingness to fight.
