Every dollar Sacramento burns on fraud, duplication, and bureaucratic bloat is a dollar that isn't going toward lower gas prices, lower insurance premiums, or a housing market families can actually afford. Jenny Rae has spent the past year at CAL DOGE finding that waste line by line – and she knows exactly how much it's costing you.
This isn't an abstract fight about the size of government. It's about your grocery bill, your gas tank, and your rent. Jenny Rae knows what works, and she's running for Congress to put that discipline to work for CA-47 – cutting the waste that's driving up the cost of living here.

California policies and inflationary spending in Washington, D.C. have made Orange County one of the most expensive places to live in America. Today, only 18% of Orange County households can afford a median-priced home and a renter needs to earn $55 per hour just to afford the average monthly rent of $2,857.
In Congress, Jenny Rae will work to rein in federal spending, which has caused this inflation crisis that has driven up the cost of groceries and gas. She will push for permitting reform to cut the federal red tape that makes new housing construction unnecessarily costly and slow. She will incentivize American investment, reducing the cost of gas and growing our economy. Jenny Rae will also fight to reduce the tax burden on small businesses so they can invest in raising wages for the working families they employ.
Finally, she will demand full transparency on every federal program that affects our cost of living. We have the tools to eliminate fraud — we must ensure Congress uses them.

Legal immigration built Orange County. Generations of immigrants who played by the rules have made this district the thriving, entrepreneurial community it is today. Jenny Rae honors that legacy — after all, her husband Paul is a legal immigrant — which is exactly why she will not accept a broken federal system that rewards illegal entry and punishes those who wait in line. In 2024 alone, there were more than 562,000 illegal border crossings through California. When the federal government actually enforced the law last year, the San Diego Sector saw a 93% drop in apprehensions after just two months, proving that federal policy, not geography, determines outcomes.
Jenny Rae supports fully funding border security, ending catch-and-release, and closing the asylum loopholes exploited by criminal smuggling organizations. She opposes federal funding for sanctuary cities and states that actively keep dangerous criminals in our community. She will support a legal immigration process that is clear and fair, and she will fight for public reporting on how federal immigration enforcement dollars are spent so voters can see results.

As the Director of CAL DOGE, Jenny Rae Le Roux has been at the forefront of rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in California's government. CAL DOGE has uncovered $370 million in cannabis tax revenue siphoned off into a Democrat Party voter registration slush fund, exposed fraudulent hospice billing networks operating in plain sight, and referred homelessness and green energy shell game cases to the Department of Justice for prosecution.
Jenny Rae's work with CAL DOGE inspired her to run for Congress. The same rot that has made California's fraud epidemic so bad is infecting Washington, D.C. too. Jenny Rae is running for Congress to change how we follow the money.
In Congress, Jenny Rae will demand mandatory, publicly accessible spending reports for every major federal program. She will support reducing federal prosecution thresholds so fraud schemes under $1 million don't slip through the cracks, and she will champion FOIA reform to give watchdogs, journalists, and citizens faster and cheaper access to federal records. She will also push for independent, real-time audits of high-risk federal programs before the money is gone. It's time to open the books in DC.

The world our kids are growing up in is harder than it has ever been. Acceptance rates at top universities have plummeted, and one acceptance letter can change an entire career. Yet right now in California, the DOJ is investigating the UC system, and a federal lawsuit alleges the University of California is quietly using race in admissions despite voters banning the practice not once, but twice. Parents who have done everything right are watching their children compete on an uneven playing field, and nobody in Sacramento or Washington will give them a straight answer.
In Congress, Jenny Rae will demand full transparency in admissions at UC, CSU, and every federally funded university. She will require institutions to publish their criteria and data so families can judge for themselves, and she will support federal enforcement of the Civil Rights Act against public universities that use race-based decision-making.
This country was built by families who came here with nothing and built something. Their children should not be penalized for that success. Jenny Rae will fight for one standard, applied honestly, for every child in this district, because in America your future should be earned, not assigned.

California has spent $37 billion since 2019 trying to address homelessness — but the problem has only gotten worse. California's homeless population represents nearly 25% of the entire U.S. homeless population, in a state with just 12% of the nation's residents. Federal dollars are flowing into California without requiring results, and our kids who walk once-safe streets now littered with needles and human feces are paying the price.
In Congress, Jenny Rae will push for outcome-based requirements attached to every federal homelessness grant. If a program can't show it is actually removing people from the streets, it won't get renewed. We will fund what works, and stop funding what isn't.
She will also fight to ensure that federal mental health and addiction treatment funding, including fentanyl crisis resources, reaches the communities that need it most. Jenny Rae will use every transparency tool available to shine a light on where federal homelessness dollars actually go so taxpayers can judge for themselves whether they're getting results they are paying for.

Safe communities are non-negotiable. When we don't feel safe in our neighborhoods, when violent offenders cycle back onto the streets, when fentanyl floods our communities, we need to fix how we govern and return to the rule of law.
In Congress, Jenny Rae will fully fund federal law enforcement and oppose any effort to defund the agencies that protect our communities. She will support federal anti-trafficking legislation that prosecutes the criminal networks exploiting vulnerable people right here in Orange County. She will oppose federal funding to jurisdictions that make prosecution of theft, assault, and drug offenses harder. We can't reward lax enforcement with taxpayer dollars.
Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45, and that demands urgency. Jenny Rae will back legislation that holds fentanyl traffickers to the harshest federal penalties available.
The rule of law applies at the top, too. Jenny Rae will sponsor a bill to end congressional insider trading the day she is sworn into office. Members of Congress who profit from information gathered in office are betraying their constituents and she will fight for a full ban on individual stock trading by members and real-time financial disclosure requirements.

Israel is the United States' greatest ally in the Middle East, and our support must be unwavering. Our two countries share Judeo-Christian values, a commitment to democracy, and a common interest in stability and security in the Middle East. Abandoning that support would embolden our enemies, put American lives at risk, and create instability across the globe.
Jenny Rae has traveled to Israel and knows this alliance firsthand. The October 7, 2023 massacre made one thing clear: Israel will never be safe so long as terrorist organizations committed to the destruction of the Jewish people are allowed to operate freely. She will advocate in Congress for the permanent disarmament of Hamas, fully supports Israel's right to defend itself, and will fight any effort to divide or weaken the relationship between our countries. Jenny Rae opposes the BDS movement and she will fight the rapid rise of antisemitism in our country by supporting the adoption of the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism into federal law.
Jenny Rae will also never allow a nuclear Iran. She opposes any agreement that does not permanently and verifiably dismantle Iran's nuclear program and will not return to anything resembling the failed Iran Nuclear Deal. She supports robust international sanctions and all necessary pressure to ensure Iran never achieves its nuclear ambitions. She also supports a free, democratic Iran.
Jenny Rae believes the United States should actively work to expand the Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia and other regional partners, creating the conditions for lasting peace.
