Why should voters elect you?
"Most highly qualified candidate to represent the mainstream majority of voters who live, work, commute and raise families here. Don't cater to special interest groups. Support community notification whenever convicted felons move into our neighborhoods, traffic calming measures to reduce speeding and aggressive driving. Support priority funding for traffic safety and road improvements over wasteful mass transit pork-barrel projects. Planning for a better future instead of wallowing in the incumbent's history of failure to deal with traffic congestion. An entrepreneur, businessman, community and civic activist who still believes in the 'American Dream' of equal opportunity and justice for all."
What do you want voters to know about you?
"Vote for Alzona for less traffic, less crime, lower taxes, less pollution, better health care, educational standards, safer streets, now and into the next millennium!"
