There are two important qualifications that I bring to this campaign:  experience and commitment.  Experience gained in the private sector for 19 years and a commitment to serve the residents of Fresno County with integrity, wisdom, and dignity.
Experience, commitment, and proven leadership is what I bring to the race of Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector, but I need your help.  I would appreciate your support on March 5, 2002.
