Why should voters elect you?
"New face, new energy, independent leadership, new ideas to save our community, protect our families, solve the problems mentioned above. Endorsed by District 16 residents."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"We're losing our community. This includes all problems related to tax laws, health care, education, immigration, safety, environment, transportation, growth and affordable housing issues. In simple terms, the problem is not with the voters; it's with the leaders. They'll run on their records, but it still takes too long to get home from work, and it's too hard to get affordable health insurance because they let uncovered illegal immigrants run up our health costs. Still problems in education, still costs too much to pay property taxes. My grandparents, in-laws, wife and future generations deserve action not stillness. We deserve better."
