Conservative MAGA Republican who knows less government = more freedom.

Martin “Vman” Veprauskas

The People's Congressman

Why Martin “Vman” Veprauskas is running for Congress: We need Limited government, more individual freedom, fiscal responsibility. Lower or no Taxes, regulations slashed to bring back businesses which will create better jobs. Stockton area suffocates under Sacramento/California overreach. Stockton businesses flee taxes. Lodi farmers drown in regulations. Tracy families can't buy homes. Enough.

"Your family. Your freedom. Your future. Government works FOR you, not ON you."

No Pay for Congress or Senate During Shutdowns

Senate and Congress shouldn't get paid nor recess during a shutdown when Stockton families suffer. "Congress Gets Paid $174K While Stockton Families Suffer?" No more paid vacations do your job or get voted out! As your Congressman I will propose legislation so this charade comes to an end vote for me.

Stockton, Lodi, Tracy, Manteca, Ripon, and Discovery Bay families work hard every day. Their tax dollars fund Medicare, SNAP, Social Security, housing assistance, food programs, healthcare, and utility subsidies. Hardworking Americans shouldn't subsidize illegal immigrants. The Outrage! Stop this now vote for me. I will vote to stop this.

Eliminate Gas Tax Affordable Energy

Stockton commuters spend $200+/month more on gas than national average. Tracy's I-205 traffic burns extra fuel daily. Lodi farmers hauling crops pay $6/gallon for diesel. Manteca parents carpooling kids to school choose between groceries and tank. Ripon retirees skip doctors to save gas money. California's energy policies punish District 9 working families The Gas Tax Rip-Off repeal the gas tax now or get voted out I will vote to repeal this tax.

Pro-Agriculture Farmers Before Foreigners Agriculture Under Siege

Ending California’s water crisis with smart, sustainable management. I have a plan and I am on your side. Lodi's almond orchards turn to dust. Stockton's dairies slaughter herds. Tracy's tomato fields lie fallow. Manteca's walnut trees die of thirst. Ripon's poultry farms shutter. Stockton area produces $5.2 BILLION in agriculture annually – California's breadbasket is starving under Sacramento's war on farmers. Vote for me HELP is here and together we can solve this problem for all of us because I am not a politician I am a problem solver.

Affordable Housing: $3K Rent ISN'T Affordable to me a retired navy veteran on a fixed income. I feel your pain! Stockton workers can't afford apartments near their jobs. Tracy families priced out of family neighborhoods. Lodi seniors forced to choose between medicine and rent. Manteca millennials live with parents or flee California. Ripon retirees downsize to nothing. District 9's housing costs crush the middle class. No more Corporations or foreign nationals buying up all our single family homes. I will ensure coming soon as your Congressman to ensure American citizens get first chance to purchase the home of their DREAMS vote for me and together we can make this happen :)
