Unlike Norma Torres who supports Open Borders (H.R. 957), Mike stridently stands against them. These unconstitutional policies allow massive human/child trafficking, a flood of fentanyl and death on our streets and the loss of millions of jobs by Americans. Because of the crime and homelessness that accompany an open border, Mike also stands for your right to defend yourself, your family and your community by any means necessary. Norma Torres wants to remove your right to own a gun.

Norma Torres refused to condemn the Biden Open Borders policy (H.R. 957) and has always advocated for a wide-open Southern border which has resulted in an invasion of the United States and is a direct violation of Article 4 Sect 4 of the Constitution.

Norma Torres voted AGAINST the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act (H.R. 734). Why would Norma want to subject female athletes to this sort of abuse?
Mike wholeheartedly stands against boys in girls’ sports, men in women’s bathrooms, the sexualization of our children and any forms of institutional racism like DEI and CRT. He absolutely supports the Right of Parents to know EVERYTHING that goes on in school. To read more, click HERE.

our children are our greatest treasure ↗ (opens cargileforcongress.com/the-kids at this heading)
As a Christian and a family man, I stand for the sanctity of the Biblical definition of Marriage and the protection of the nuclear family. The family unit is the cornerstone of our society, as it goes, so goes the Nation.
Years ago, my old Pastor said “If you know what a lawyer knows, you’d be a lawyer. If you know what a doctor knows, you’d be a doctor. When a child knows what an adult knows… They are no longer a child.” From the pornographic images in the “health” books forced on them in elementary school, to drag queen story time, we rob our children of their childhoods by sexualizing them at an early age. We force young minds, who are still just trying to figure out how to tie their shoes, to process adult concepts like “homosexuality” and “transgenderism”. This is both psychologically and emotionally destructive and it is wrong!
From the explicit images bombarding our children every time they look at their phones or televisions to the twisted ideas concocted out of the darkened hallways of our Sacramento “educators”, there is but one goal in this whole endeavor. Their objective is to create willing participants for the appetites of adult sexual predators. Why else would they advocate for puberty blocking drugs that delay the natural development process into an adult? Why else would they go to such lengths to try to redefine the term “pedophile” to “minor attracted person”? If we allow this, how can we condemn the actions of people like Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, who exploit young girls, and yet allow grown men into our female bathrooms and locker rooms, all under the guise of being “transgender”? This must stop!
My family had a personal experience with this. We were traveling through Central California when we stopped for gas. As I was filling up the mini-van, unknown to me, a grown man, complete with mini-skirt and heels walked into the women’s bathroom while my daughter was in there. Thank God, nothing happened to her, but I promise the families of the 35th that I will work hard to ensure that no other family has to endure something like this in the future.
Unlike my opponent, Norma J Torres, I will protect our families and our children from the reach of these pedophile predators and I will work to safeguard their minds, hearts and emotions as well.

Unlike Norma Torres who refused to protect your gas stove (H.R. 1615), Mike will protect the gas in your car, the gas in your stove, the price of the food on your table and the safety of your family.

The lifeblood of the American economy is crude oil. It is the earth’s ultimate renewable energy source. But it’s not just gas and oil, it’s plastics, it’s rubber, it’s fertilizers… it’s our modern way of life. Without it, our country collapses and we are back in the 1800’s with horse and buggy.
And that’s exactly where my opponent, Norma Torres, wants us to wind up! She wants to do away with the gas in your car, the gas in your stove (H.R. 1615) and any other gas appliance in your house. She wants everything to be electric and plugged into a grid that is unable to handle what we already have. It will destroy our country! This war against crude oil (the “Green New Deal”) has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with transferring massive wealth and power to enemies of the United States.
California suffers from incompetent leaders like Norma Torres who have chased businesses and employers out of the state. We have the highest taxes and the least to show for it. Instead of working to stimulate the inherent creativity of the people of the Golden State, our leaders enact legislation like AB5 which rips the heart out of gig workers, killing small businesses and entrepreneurs. At the very least, we should eliminate taxes paid on tips and Social Security and property taxes should be cut in half for those over 65 years of age.
The heartbeat of our nation, and our State, is a free economy. The biggest impediment is government involvement. When competition thrives, the people prosper. Personal freedom and free enterprise are the engines that drive everything else. It’s that simple. Lower the tax burden and eliminate government over-regulation and we will bounce back quicker than it takes to pack up and move to Texas!
People have to wake up! We cannot fix this country with the same folks in office who created the problems! We MUST have new leadership!
My mandate in Congress will be to work with Federal, State and local governments to create a “business friendly” environment throughout the District. To that end, every manufacturer, every business, every union, every city and every voter should be behind this race!
Businesses supply jobs, jobs pay the taxes and the dues that fund the pensions and the payrolls for the cities, the first responders and the educators! Business drives everything! And I want the 35th to become a magnet for businesses!

I feel bad for our police, firemen and first responders. While the rank and file are selfless, everyday heroes who are generally conservative in their beliefs and actions, their union leaders have consistently sold them out to Socialist politicians.
How else can you explain supporting someone like Norma Torres, who literally voted to allow police, fire and first responders to be assaulted by illegal aliens (H.R. 7343)?
How else can you explain supporting someone who thinks all cops are racists and voted to remove their qualified immunity which would expose them to personal liability in the conduct of their jobs?
How else can you explain supporting someone who consistently supports open borders (H.R. 957) and the resultant tsunami of human/child trafficking, the flood of fentanyl on our streets and the overwhelming homelessness and crime (H.R. 7511)?
Unlike my opponent, Norma Torres, I will always DEFEND the police and I will never support DEFUNDING them. Law enforcement and all our First Responders have my unwavering support, in every aspect of their profession, to do their jobs effectively, proficiently and professionally.
This election, the vote you cast will have literal life or death consequences. Your life, the life of your family, friends and neighbors depends on the choices you make for our next round of leaders. It’s that simple.
I believe community relations begin with School Resource Officers (SROs). For many children, an SRO is their first personal contact with someone in law enforcement. This initial impression will color that child’s view of police from that point forward. Therefore, our SROs need to be the best and brightest we have. Many of these officers will not only interact with these children, but with their families as well, and in so doing, create the building blocks for mutual trust and respect.
Additionally, I will support funding for student loan relief for those in law enforcement and programs for those entering the profession modeled on successes such as the GI Bill and loan relief for Veterans. Many departments are struggling with staffing shortages. Student loan funding/forgiveness and payment for higher education opportunities will incentivize professionals to join the force.
When you cast your ballot in November, please remember this… Safety and Security should never be politicized! In the end, the most precious thing you possess is your LIFE. We must place its care and protection in the hands of those who value it the same way.

Seniors are the most used and abused demographic in our country. Every election cycle politicians vie for their votes and attention, only to kick them to the curb once the election passes. To read more, click HERE.

While seniors are warned that “Republicans will destroy Social Security”, Democrats like Norma Torres flood the system with millions of illegal aliens. These illegal aliens are then enrolled into Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid without having contributed a single dime to the process. Because of this, the system will collapse.
Furthermore, Norma has consistently prioritized the needs of Ukrainian citizens over America’s seniors by voting to send over $250 billion (with no audits) to Ukraine. No American should ever support a Representative like Norma Torres. While fully aware of the dire situation currently facing those on a fixed income, she cavalierly throws BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars at nations who are openly hostile to American interests. We need leaders who are willing to support America First!
There are three things I will immediately champion to aid our seniors: ↗ (opens cargileforcongress.com/seniors-1 at this heading)
- 1. Social Security benefits should be completely TAX FREE.
- 2. A surviving spouse should continue to receive Social Security benefits for 24 months after the passing of a loved one.
- 3. Property taxes should be cut in half for those over 65 years of age.
The pandemic brought to light the utter contempt Democrat leaders have for our senior citizens. Their callous decisions stem from a complete disregard for LIFE that manifests itself in a willingness to kill infants and the elderly. When all is said and done, more seniors will have died in nursing homes at the hands of Democrat governors than in the attack on 9-11. I will support all efforts to hold these people criminally liable for these blatantly unconstitutional crimes against humanity.
Additionally, I will support all efforts to increase penalties and punishments for those convicted of elder abuse. If there was ever a need for the designation of a “hate crime”, it would be for those who target the most vulnerable among us.
Like so many other facets of our society, the biggest roadblock to a robust healthcare system is government intrusion. It should be a free market responding to the laws of supply and demand. As our healthcare demands increase with each generation, the supply of healthcare professionals, equipment and medication must increase at an even greater rate to drive costs down. Nothing drives prices down faster than competition.
No one has a “right” to healthcare, but we all need it! Therefore, it should be affordable for all. Right now, the market is being artificially inflated due to heavy industry regulation. We need transparency and to remove the restraints on State-by-State competition (allowing inter-state access to all facets of, and suppliers in, the healthcare industry). This is where the collective bargaining power of a union or co-op can be fully realized.
Finally, I would support an effort to provide real tax credits and incentives to those who choose this profession.

We all swore an oath to the constitution!
The Constitution
Norma Supports Open Borders
Rep. Norma Torres has violated her Oath of Office in multiple ways. Any veteran who votes for, or supports her, potentially does so in violation of their own Oath of Office or Enlistment to defend the Constitution against “all enemies, foreign and domestic”.
Norma Torres voted in support of Socialism (H. Con. Res. 9), which is an alternate form of government to our Constitutional Republic and a clear Article 6 violation. No veteran who swore an oath to defend our Constitution can ever support someone who votes against it.
Norma refused to condemn the Biden Open Borders policy (H.R. 957) and has always advocated for a wide-open Southern border which has resulted in an invasion of the United States and is a direct violation of Article 4 Sect 4 of the Constitution.
Norma Torres supports classes like “How to cross-dress in the military” and “De-constructing Patriotism” being taught in our Military Academies.
Norma Torres has consistently refused to condemn the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and the loss of life and limb sustained by our troops, not to mention the $85 billion in weapons and equipment that have wound up in the arms of our enemies.
Norma has prioritized the needs and the support of Ukraine (at least $250 Billion) over homeless and hurting American vets.
One of the areas of deepest concern for our veterans is suicide, nearly 22 per day! I have a friend who is a decorated veteran and was diagnosed with PTSD. He never had any thoughts of suicide…until they changed his pain medication, then it was all he could do to NOT kill himself. How many cases of veteran suicide are actually medically induced?
Furthermore, what about the disintegration of the American family (which Democrats have led a full-frontal assault against)? I can tell you, first-hand, that the greatest threat to a soldier’s successful re-integration into civilian life is the absence of a stable, caring and loving environment at home.
I am a third generation Army officer. My grandfather received a battlefield commission in WWII. He went on to serve in the Korean War and commanded a battalion in Vietnam. Later, he retired with 100% disability and was buried with full military honors. My biological father was killed by a sniper in Vietnam as a young Lieutenant who left behind his wife, his son and a daughter he’d never met. My mother re-married one of his West Point classmates (who I consider my actual “father”) who received two Purple Hearts and was killed a couple years ago by Covid protocols. I served on active duty as an Army Officer for a brief period during Desert Storm.
The care of and concern for our Veterans is very personal to me and will always be at the forefront of my mind and at the top of my priorities.

Mike supports unions that exist to aid and support their members and the families of those members.
He does not support corrupt union leaders who enrich and empower themselves on the backs of their members. To read more, click HERE.

Unions are, by nature, republican organizations. They are not democracies with a mob-like majority vote. Instead, they elect representatives, who in turn represent them in collective bargaining. This is a textbook republican system that mirrors our own form of government.
The issue of unionization is primarily a State issue. Each State must decide for themselves whether they want to embrace a right-to-work (non-union) policy or a policy of unionization. California is a union State, and I support that because the voters embraced it. However, for far too long, the Democrat Party has been able to categorize all unions under one umbrella and that needs to stop.
There are 3 basic types of unions, and they are all different: Private Unions, Trade/Labor Unions and Public Unions.
Private Unions – For companies of a sufficient size, it is almost standard practice to bargain collectively with the labor force. In the absence of such representation, worker abuse is almost bound to occur as in the case of Amazon and its treatment of its warehouse workforce. The good thing about Private Unions is that there are natural safeguards or barriers in place that constrain negotiations. If you go too far on either side, the company will go out of business, and everyone loses.
Trade/Labor Unions – These are the backbone of the American Dream. Skilled and unskilled alike, these are the men and women who safeguard our infrastructure, put a roof over our heads and food on the table. They are also the last bastions of excellence in their comparative fields, and we need to champion them in the schools of our nation. We need to get VOCATIONAL TRAINING back in the classroom, starting in Middle School! College is not for everyone, and we should quit with the “one size fits all” approach to education. Imagine a young man or woman entering the workforce after High School with the skills to provide for themselves and their families. It used to be that way in America. We need to return to that way of thinking.
Public Unions – These are very different from the other two but are lumped together for political effect. In a Public Union, the workers are compensated with taxes paid by the public taxpayer for services necessary for the public at large. Public Unions should be able to collectively bargain, but the Union as a whole (not individual members) should not be able to strike, engage in political activism or in the direct support of elected officials. Why? Here’s the problem, when Public Unions negotiate, they sit across from elected Public Officials. These Officials were elected to represent their constituents, the taxpayers. So, when a Public Union is directly engaged in the election of that same Public Official, the People (the taxpayers), have no one representing them! Their representative (the elected Public Official) now represents the Public Union who funded their election! This is UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Article 4, Sect. 4 clearly states that the Federal Government is supposed to provide a Republican (representative) form of government, and in the case of Public Unions, the People have no representation. Union members are taxpayers too! Therefore, at the end of the day, the only people sitting at the negotiating table are the Union leaders and the politicians, but the taxpayer is paying for it all! So, while you may have a good pension and benefits, at what cost does it come? Our country is being invaded, our cost of living has skyrocketed, our families and children are being destroyed and our streets are full of crime. We can do better.

As a country, we are failing the young minds of our Nation at every level.

Primary Education: I am absolutely pro-choice when it comes to the education of our children. Parents should be able to choose the school and environment best suited for their child. Nowhere is the misguided “one size fits all” mentality more prominently displayed than our approach to education. In today’s world, we need to free parents of the antiquated mindset that your child is relegated to the local public school and equip and empower them to discover the wealth of opportunity that exists in the forms of public, public online, private, charter and home schools. Additionally, we need to bring back vocational classes as early as middle school. Not every child is meant for college. We need to recognize that fact and provide ample opportunity for those children as well.
Secondary Education: Norma Torres supports D.E.I. (institutionalized racism) and race-based admission to colleges and universities. Unfortunately, we have allowed our colleges and universities to deteriorate into profit centers instead of institutions of free thought and higher education. If there is one positive aspect of the pandemic, it is that it has brought to the forefront, the malicious practices of many of our top universities. It is unconscionable that these schools are allowed to charge full tuition (and all the accompanying “fees” and “charges”) while students are not allowed on campus and relegated to an online only learning experience, akin to what they would receive at any local or community college. What makes this unfair business practice even more egregious is the fact that these same institutions enjoy endowment and alumni funding in the BILLIONS of dollars. If there was ever a time for a university to place the education of its students above its own financial interests, that time is now! Instead, these State and Federally-funded universities display their true agendas, which is a profit margin born on the backs of the students and their parents. This educational extortion must stop! No company in the United States would be allowed to continue to do business if it operated under such heavy handed practices while benefitting from taxpayer dollars.

Mike’s approach to immigration is rooted in the Bible and the Law.

Everything changed the day the Trump administration offered to pay illegal aliens to return to their country of origin, not just free airfare, but money in their pockets upon arrival.
The greatest security measure the United States could ever have at its Southern border are strong, safe and prosperous neighbors in Mexico and the countries of Central and South America. My approach to immigration has been rooted in two things: the Bible and the Law. Almost every issue plaguing our country at this moment can be solved with the simple Biblical principle “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” If I had been born in another country and saw what the United States offered in terms of freedom and opportunity, I would have done everything in my power to get here and make that available for myself and my family.
For decades, there was an unwritten agreement between the United States and the rest of the world that if you could just get here and assimilate into the fabric of our society, we would not enforce our immigration laws against you. And tens of millions of people came here and did just that!
But everything changed with the election of Donald Trump. We have a new agreement in place. In order to enter the United States, you must use our designated ports of entry, and we will enforce our immigration laws if you are here illegally.
So, what do we do with the people who are here because of the old agreement? First, we ask them to return to their country of origin (self-deport) and as restitution and remuneration, we pay for their travel and give them money when they arrive. Next, we complete the wall. It is our number one defense against drugs and human trafficking, and it is an essential element of our national defense.
After that, anyone still here illegally must be seen in a hostile light. The same way you would look at someone who trespassed onto your property, broke into your home and refuses to leave, even if you offered to pay for an Uber and give them some extra cash. You would call the police and demand that they remove the trespasser.
It’s no different for our country. This is our home. You have no right to be here if you were not invited and didn’t use the front door. You need to leave. Those who refuse to self-deport will be deported forcibly and without prejudice.
The rule of law must be restored before any further immigration reforms can occur.

Upon completion of the wall, all non-citizens residing within the continental United States will have a 3 year period to begin filing for citizenship. Every available Federal resource will be allocated to expediting this process. This will be a ONE TIME offer. If you fail to begin the process within that 3 year period, you missed out on this opportunity. If you are a convicted felon and have abused your time in the United States, this offer is not available to you. However, if you have lived and worked in the United States, paid your taxes and obeyed our laws, you will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to become a citizen of the United States.

In a clear violation of her Oath of Office, Norma Torres voted against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act which requires proof of citizenship to vote in Federal elections – H.R. 8281. Mike supports same day voting for American citizens only. He believes voting should only occur with presentation of a valid government-issued photo identification, on paper ballots, that are then hand counted on the same day. He also supports designating Election Day as a Federal holiday in support of the above.

Election integrity is the paramount issue of our time, for from it flow all the other issues plaguing our nation. It is upon this singular pursuit that our world will soon pivot from a celestial sphere of aspirations and possibilities to a swirling mass of unmitigated pain and misery as an unprecedented period of slavery emerges, clothed in the robes of Communism.
Think about it… every person currently elected to office was put in that position by a fraudulent system. Every single one of them. Why on earth would they want to “fix” the very system that put them in office? With overwhelming evidence that exhaustive overhauls need to take place in virtually every state, we now have a new litmus test for those in office. Do they support a full, top-down, and transparent audit of our election processes? Even if it costs them their position? If not, they need to be removed immediately. To survive what is coming, we MUST have leaders who value integrity above all else.
We must now harness the collective energies and efforts of our great nation in a way that has not been seen since our inception. If there ever was an hour upon which to try men’s souls, this is it!
Election Integrity is the cornerstone of our Republic. Consequently, its corruption impacts the entirety of the structure. As a result, whether it be economic issues, international issues, societal issues, environmental issues…nothing is as it should be! But the truth is those are all distractions from the REAL issue… We DID NOT CONSENT to the current leadership occupying key positions of power! Therefore, everything emanating from those people, every law, every rule and regulation runs contrary to the will of the American People!

Norma Torres voted to withhold medical help to babies who survive an abortion (H.R. 26). That's infanticide.
Mike is Pro-Life... ALL life. From the womb to the tomb. It all begins at conception and ends with the last beat of your heart and should be safe-guarded every moment between those two events. If we cheapen it anywhere... we cheapen it everywhere. This was most graphically illustrated during Covid when the elderly were killed by the thousands, almost like Jews in Nazi Germany, by Democrat governors who had ZERO regard for the life of those seniors. Like President Reagan and Trump, Mike supports exceptions in the case of rape, incest and the life of the mother.

Norma Torres say she is Catholic and Pro-Abortion
Mike is Pro-Life... ALL LIFE!
Life is a gift from God. One of the best things I’ve seen in my lifetime has been the “heartbeat bill”. If it has a heartbeat, it is definitively, incontrovertibly “alive”. As such, this tiny person has been endowed by our Creator with the unalienable right to LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS… just like the rest of us! Therefore, except in the case of rape, incest or the life of the mother, I will never support abortion.
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution speaks clearly to this issue when it says, “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
My opponent, Norma J Torres, was once a 911 operator and yet she strongly supports abortion. One of the first things a 911 operator asks in order to determine whether a person is alive is “Do they have a PULSE?” or in other words, “Do they have a HEARTBEAT?” If a heartbeat determines the end of a person’s life, shouldn’t it also determine when their life begins?
When we view one another as simple “disposable” objects we set the stage for the rise of another Hitler or Stalin... or worse. There is nothing more precious than life and when we cheapen its intrinsic value, we wind up with things like mass school shootings and condemning seniors to death in nursing homes (as we did during Covid). I tell people "Hitler brought the Jews to the gas chambers. Our governor brought the gas chamber to the nursing homes!"
However, I do feel strongly that we, as a nation, have largely failed in our duty to come alongside these women, regardless of how they became pregnant, and remove the consideration for abortion by making adoption a simple, convenient alternative. We need to re-look and re-think the entire process. Adopting a child shouldn’t take years and cost thousands and thousands of dollars for a couple who simply want to care for and raise a baby. The focus needs to be THE CHILD!

The 2nd Amendment was placed in the Bill of Rights as a safeguard for all the other Rights. It allows "the People", the citizens of the United States, the right to protect themselves, their family, their state and their country with WHATEVER is required. "Shall not be infringed" means just that! Any restriction, registration or regulation of that right, is by definition, an "infringement" and is unconstitutional. To read more, click HERE.

“The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” ↗ (opens cargileforcongress.com/2nd-amendment at this heading)
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
“The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Period. This is a “right” endowed by our Creator in the same way the “right” to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness were recognized by our framers in the Declaration of Independence. Thus, it is absolute and exists from birth to death for every human being. It is neither given by government and nor can it be taken away by such. The 2nd Amendment is a recognition of that divinely given “right” and a unique promise among world governments not to “infringe” or “trespass” upon it.
Additionally, as the 2nd Amendment in our Bill of Rights, it must be viewed with the same liberality as that extended to the 1st Amendment. What journalist must first seek a permit from a State or Federal agency to exercise their freedom of the press? Yet, somehow, liberals feel the need to subjugate the 2nd Amendment to massive oversight from both. This must stop!
This unrestricted right is recognized as belonging to the common citizens (Militia) of the United States to ensure the security of our free State. Naturally, this then extends to one’s home and person which are both essential to being able to safeguard the “free State”.
The 2nd Amendment exists to ensure the survival of the 1st Amendment (as well as the rest of our Constitution). Without it, our Republic will cease to exist.
