About Linda

Linda Halderman, M.D.

Assemblymember Linda Halderman, M.D., a board-certified General Surgeon who specializes in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, brings a unique blend of public policy and real world experience to the 29th Assembly District. Dr. Halderman graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in English from the University of Illinois. She earned a Medical Degree and completed residency training at the UCSF-Fresno general surgery program under Steven Parks, M.D. FACS.Dr. Halderman is a published author with over 50 articles and essays that have appeared in local, national and international publications. She is a frequent guest on Fresno radio and television programs, and has appeared on The Mark Levin Show and Fox News's "America's Newsroom." Fluent in Spanish, Dr. Halderman served rural uninsured and underinsured women with breast cancer in south Fresno County before underpayment by Medi-Cal and the state's breast cancer programs for uninsured women contributed to her practice's financial demise. Committed to fixing problems like the ones she experienced in her practice, Dr. Halderman sought a position as the Senior Policy Advisor to Senator Sam Aanestad, an Oral Surgeon and member of the California State Senate Health Committee.After the 2009 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the South Pacific, Dr. Halderman provided medical relief for three months to the U.S. territory of American Samoa.Her leadership opposing government-controlled healthcare has made her a sought-out expert on the issue of providing medical services to those with limited access to modern healthcare. She will remain a pragmatic voice of reason in the debate on healthcare delivery and funding reform in the United States.Elected in November of 2010 to the California State Assembly, Linda serves as Vice Chair for the Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife and the Committee on Aging and Long-Term Care. During her first session, she was elected Chair of the California Legislative Rural Caucus. As the Central Valley grows, Assemblymember Halderman will continue to advocate for Central Valley families and businesses.

Issues

Jobs

Bringing jobs back to the Central Valley is my top legislative priority. Californias broken state government has made California hostile to business.With a double-digit unemployment rate, we have to reward businesses that provide economic opportunity instead of taxing and regulating them out of the state. I support legislation to eliminate frivolous lawsuits that are hurting businesses and killing jobs. Sacramento should be required to report how many private sector jobs are lost with each proposed regulatory bill introduced.

Budget

Budget

Our state is being hurt by bureaucrats without accountability. With a state budget deficit estimated at nearly $20 billion and expected to grow larger over the next year, it is critical that we reform our broken budget system.The budget crisis can be solved by ending the Sacramento spending spree and living within our means. I support conservative economic policies designed to restore our economy and create jobs for working families.We need to look at welfare reform. Individuals in this state have a right to decide how to spend their money. But that right does not include accepting entitlements without sharing responsibility. If individuals prefer to buy luxury items rather than pay for their basic needs, that preference should not be rewarded while taxpayers struggle to pay their own bills.

Water

Water

The Central Valley's farmers have been forced to fallow the fields we depend on for safe food. Bad water policy that refuses to balance human suffering against environmental concerns is hurting us.It's time we carry the message of common sense solutions to Sacramento: water storage, infrastructure and conveyance. The alternative is a man-made economic and public health disaster: dependence on foreign food sources grown using unknown, potentially unsafe farming practices.

Taxes

Californias tax system is unfair and hinders investment and growth. Overtaxation and regulation are crushing Californias economy and shutting the doors of small business owners. I support eliminating punitive taxation and hidden taxation in the form of fees.We cannot afford the massive bureaucracy created by Sacramento, and we cannot tax ourselves into prosperity.

Conservative Values

The United States Constitution defines human rights that cannot be legislated away: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe that human life is precious, and that we have a Constitutionally-protected right to defend it. I oppose the taking of human life prior to birth and support the defense of the preborn child as an individual human life.I support the 2nd Amendment right of citizens to keep and bear arms without the intrusive hand of government. I do not support government infringement on the right of law-abiding citizens to defend ourselves and our families.

Healthcare Stethoscope

Healthcare

Government has no business making life-and-death medical decisions for my family or yours. Healthcare reform shouldnt put bureaucrats between you and your doctor. Real reform means improving affordability, increasing access and preserving patient choicenot expanding government control.
