Candidate for
Member of the State Assembly; District 20; Democratic Party

AS A TRI-CITY RESIDENT SINCE 1980, I share our values and have experienced the diversity and strength of our community. I also understand the challenges we face. Our economy is lagging and we continue to have under-resourced schools, traffic grid-lock, and too few housing options for working families.

I have decided to run for State Assembly because I want to be a strong voice for the 20th Assembly District in Sacramento. I will fight to protect our quality of life by focusing my efforts on the following issues:

- Affordable and accessible healthcare for all
- Creation and retention of quality jobs
- Expansion of educational opportunities for our children
- Reduction of time our community members spend commuting
- Creation of affordable housing for our young families and seniors

During my time as a Council Member I have learned how Sacramento decisions based on politics and insider influence can have a dramatic impact on local government, communities and families in our region. You can be assured that I will stay true to these lessons if elected to serve in the State Assembly.

I would be honored to have your support. Together we can improve the quality of life for all of our neighborhoods and residents.
