Our guest today is Sheriff Mike Boudreaux. Mike Boudreaux is a 2024 Candidate for Congress to represent California District 20. 
Sheriff Boudreaux is also the elected president of the California State Sheriffs Association, representing all 58 sheriffs in the state of California. Sheriff Boudreaux is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, which he attended in Quantico Virginia and has a long track record of defending and supporting the Second Amendment.
1) Enforcing the law and supporting the Second Amendment in CA nowadays sound like oxymorons because the state firearms laws have changed so much in our lifetimes. Talk to us about how an elected Law Enforcement Officer handles those dichotomies.
2) If elected, you will be shifting from enforcing laws to creating laws. How does your nearly 4 decades of experience, much of it as the highest law enforcement officer in your county, prepare you and translate to the job of a Congressman? 
3) The Biden Administration has recently announced a National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center. ERPOs, or Red-Flag Laws are gun confiscation schemes in sheeps’ clothing that deny citizens of our due process. As sheriff, how have you dealt with ERPOs? And, if elected as a Congressman, how will you deal with federal pressure to support such measures?
4) You are in CA District 20, previously served by Kevin McCarthy who was for a brief time the Speaker of the House in DC. How is this race shaping up now? 
5) What makes you uniquely qualified to be one of our nation’s Congressmen?
