Chronicle Editorial Board: Endorsement interview with Chuck DeVore

Chuck DeVore, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, met with The Chronicle's Editorial Board on Tuesday.

Republican Chuck DeVore, the state Assemblyman from Orange County, is running to the political right of both of his rivals -- Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer and Republican Senate hopeful Carly Fiorina.

He revealed himself in his interview with The Chronicle's Editorial Board as a strict constitutional constructionist, an experienced military man with a strong grasp of foreign policy, and a strong believer that the government's place is the economy is to stay out of it. A "tonic" for the economy, he said, would be a reprise of the Reagan era, when President Reagan cut the size of the federal register in half.<

p>Today, he says, the federal register is twice the size it was in Reagan's time.

 

DeVore was questioned by members of The Chronicle's Editorial Board, beginning with Editorial Page Editor John Diaz, followed by Debra J. Saunders, Caille Millner, Marshall Kilduff and Lois Kazakoff. Chronicle staff writer Joe Garofoli and political editor Michael Collier also pitched questions.
