Shaaf "Sohail" Patel for CA-41 | A Fighter for the Forgotten, Tri-Sport Varsity Letterman, and Local Activist.
I am committed to restoring a government that serves its people with integrity, accountability, and respect for the Constitution. I believe America’s strength lies in its freedom, unity, and resilience. I will work to end endless wars, stop the reckless arming of foreign nations, and ensure our resources are invested in our communities—creating jobs, improving education, and protecting our environment for generations to come.I stand for the sanctity of life, the preservation of our rights—especially the First Amendment—and a smaller, more accountable government that works for all citizens. I believe bipartisan collaboration should unite us in solving problems, not divide us for political gain. My mission is to defend the liberties of every American, protect our homeland, and build a future where prosperity, safety, and opportunity belong to the people—not the political elite.To me, being conservative means putting our needs first, preserving our resources, and delivering a better quality of life for our communities. Overdevelopment must never come at the cost of open spaces, suburban character, and natural beauty. Development should fit the community’s needs, not force communities to fit development. Wildlife preserves deserve protection, and water resources must be safeguarded as the lifeblood of our future..
