I was born in San Diego and went to Catholic School in Tijuana. I am absolutely in Love with America. My first job was working for the Family Business in Tijuana.

Worked in Banking, Mortgage & Real Estate since 1997. It took me 5 elections to finally win in November 2016. Each one has been a Learning Experience that I cherish.
Questions & Answers
Questions from The League of Women Voters San Diego (LWVSD) and the League of Women Voters of North County San Diego (LWVNCSD) (3)
If elected, how much time and energy will you be able to devote to this volunteer position over the next four years, given your other personal and professional obligations?
Answer from Hector Raul Gastelum:
As much as possible in order to turn around our San Diego Republican Party.
It's not an easy task fighting for the Traditional Conservative Values we hold dear to our Heart in today's intolerant cancel culture but I have the coutrage, passion and love for our Country to enjoy & thrive in the fight.
What is the most significant challenge facing this party in the next decade, and if you are elected, how will you help the party prepare to meet it?
Answer from Hector Raul Gastelum:
Getting rid of the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only).
We lost our beautiful California because we have had weak Republicans that compromise OUR Traditional Conservative Values like Limited Government, Pro Life, Traditional Marriage, Second Amendment, etc.
What public figures, past and present, do you believe have given the most postive examples of what this party stands for? Please explain your reasons for thinking so.
Answer from Hector Raul Gastelum:
President Donald J Trump has been the most pleasant surprise ever. I was part of the Ted Cruz team during the primary and I didn't see a Conservative in DJT. OUR President has governed more Conservatively than many of us expected and we need to continue fight as he battles the swamp every day.
President Ronald Reagan (RIP). Peace through Strength & Trust but Verify.
President George H.W. Bush (RIP). "No new Taxes". This was the single most important lesson: absolutely never ever raise taxes!

Political Beliefs
Political Philosophy
I'm a Constitutional Conservative: Fiscal & Social.
I used to lean Libertarian but with life experience I have been disappointed by candidates that say "I'm a Fiscal Conservative" that because they don't have to courage to stand up for Social Conservative issues like Traditional Marriage & Pro Life, they end up betraying the Fiscal Conservative values they said during the campaign they had.
